Notes for the iPod user

 

Make sure the iPod is not playing when using the Play Timer.

 

The Play Timer may not be activated depending on the status of the 

connected iPod.

Tip

The Play Timer setting remains as long as the setting is not cancelled 

manually.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the power cord and speaker cords are 

correctly and firmly connected.

Find your problem in the checklist below, and take 

the indicated corrective action.

If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

If “PROTECT” appears on the display

Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the 

following items after “PROTECT” disappears.

 Are the + and 

 speaker cords short-circuited?

 Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the 

system?

 Is the iPod connector 

 short-circuited?

After you have checked these above items and found 

to be all right, reconnect the power cord, and turn on 

the system. If the issue persists, contact your nearest 

Sony dealer.

General

The system does not turn on.

 Is the power cord plugged in?

The system has entered standby mode 

unexpectedly.

 This is not a malfunction. The system enters standby 

mode automatically in about 30 minutes when there is 

no operation or audio signal output. See “To turn off 

the automatic standby function.”

The clock setting or the Play Timer operation 

has been cancelled unexpectedly.

 If about a minute elapses with no operation, the clock 

setting or Play Timer setting is cancelled automatically. 

Perform the operation again from the beginning.

There is no sound.

 Are the + and 

 speaker cords short-circuited?

 Are you using only the supplied speakers?

 Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the system?

 The specified station may have temporarily stopped 

broadcast.

Sound comes from one channel, or the left and 

right volumes are unbalanced.

 Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible.

 Connect only the supplied speakers.

Severe hum or noise.

 Move the system away from sources of noise.

 Connect the system to a different wall outlet.

 Install a noise filter (available separately) to the power 

cord.

The remote does not function.

 Remove any obstacles between the remote and the 

remote sensor 

 on the unit, and position the unit 

away from fluorescent lights.

 Point the remote at the system’s sensor.

 Move the remote closer to the system.

CD/MP3 player

The sound skips, or the disc will not play.

 Wipe the disc clean, and replace it.

 Move the system to a location away from vibration (for 

example, on top of a stable stand).

 Move the speakers away from the system, or place them 

on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration 

may cause the sound to skip.

Play does not start from the first track.

 Return to Normal Play by pressing PLAY MODE 

 

repeatedly until both “PGM” and “SHUF” disappear.

Starting playback takes more time than usual.

 The following discs can increase the time it takes to 

start playback;

 a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure.

 a disc recorded in multisession mode.

 a disc that has not been finalized (a disc to which data 

can be added).

 a disc that has many folders.

Precautions

Discs that this system CAN play

 Audio CD

 CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files)

Discs that this system CANNOT play

 CD-ROM

 CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD 

format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 

1/Level 2, Joliet

 CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that have not 

ended by “closing the session”

 CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/

CD-RW that have scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CD-

RW recorded with an incompatible recording device

 CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly

 Discs containing files other than MPEG 1 Audio Layer-

3 (MP3) files

 Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, 

square, star)

 Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached 

to them

 Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue 

extends beyond the seal

 Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky 

when touched

Notes on discs

 Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from 

the center out to the edge.

 Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine, 

thinner, or commercially available cleaners or anti-

static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources 

such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in 

direct sunlight.

On safety

 Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) 

from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used 

for an extended period of time. When unplugging the 

unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

 Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, 

unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified 

personnel before operating it again.

 The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified 

service facility.

On placement

 Do not place the system in an inclined position or in 

locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or 

humid or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to 

vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light.

 Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on 

surfaces that have been specially treated (for example, 

with wax, oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the 

surface may result.

 If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm 

location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture 

may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and 

cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, 

remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for 

about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On heat buildup

 Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal 

and is not cause for alarm.

 Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used 

continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may 

have become hot. 

 Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

On the speaker system

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and 

the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically 

distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 

30 minutes, and turn it back on. 

If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away 

from the TV.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened 

with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of 

abrasive pads, scouring powder, or solvents, such as 

thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
