About this manual

The design of the speakers of CFD-
V10 and CFD-910 differs depending
on the area the model is marketed.
The one marketed in the UK and
Italy is the model used for
illustration purposes.

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD

player section is harmful to the eyes,
do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the player, unplug the player,
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.

On power sources

• For AC operation, check that the

player’s operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply (See
“Specifications”) and use the
supplied AC power cord; do not use
any other type. The voltage selector is
located at the bottom of the player
(only for the models equipped with
the VOLTAGE SELECTOR at the
bottom).

• The player is not disconnected from

the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the player itself has been
turned off.

• For battery operation, use six size D

(R20) batteries.

• When the batteries are not to be used,

remove them to avoid damage that
can be caused by battery leakage or
corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating

voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the bottom.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location

near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place the player on an inclined

or unstable place.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm

of the side of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must be
unobstructed for the player to operate
properly and prolong the life of its
components.

• If the player is left in a car parked in

the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the

speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or spring-
wound watches away from the player
to prevent possible damage from the
magnet.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from

a cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate.

• If the player has not been used for a

long time, set it in the playback mode
to warm it up for a few minutes
before inserting a cassette.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine,

thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct

sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.

• Do not stick paper or sticker on the

CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause tracking error

Use the AC power source whenever you record since recording
consumes much power.

Connecting the AC power cord

Insert one end of the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN socket at the
rear of the player, and the other end to the wall outlet.

Tip

Replace the batteries when the OPR/BATT indicator dims or when the
player stops operating. Replace all the batteries with new ones. Before you
replace the batteries, be sure to take out the CD from the player.

Using the player on batteries

Insert six R20 (size D) batteries (not
supplied) into the battery compartment.
To use the player on batteries, disconnect
the AC power cord from the player.

Adjusting the voltage (only
for the models equipped
with VOLTAGE SELECTOR at
the bottom)

Be sure to set the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR (at the bottom) to your
local power supply.

Tip

Only for the customers supplied
with an AC plug adaptor:

Use the supplied AC plug adaptor if
the plug of the AC power cord does
not match your outlet.
