About This Manual  
The instructions in this manual are for model CDP-M400CS.  
Conventions  
• Instructions in this manual describe the controls on the  
player.  
You can also use the controls on the remote if they have the  
same or similar names as those on the player.  
• The following icons are used in this manual:  
MP3 files  
Z Indicates that you can do the task using the remote.  
Indicates hints and tips for making the task easier.  
z
• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used  
for their recording or the condition of the disc) may not  
play on this player.  
Notes on CDs  
• You cannot play a CD-R/CD-RW that is not finalized*.  
* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc to  
be played on the audio CD player.  
On handling CDs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc carefully.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
About MP3 files  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology  
and format for compressing a sound sequence. The file  
is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds  
outside the range of human hearing are compressed  
while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.  
Playback of some MP3 files may not be possible,  
depending on the encoding.  
The encoding method (i.e., the bit rate selected for  
encoding) will affect the sound quality of the MP3 files  
created. The bit rate typically used for MP3 files is  
128 kbps.  
• Do not expose the disc 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 considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.  
• After removing a disc from the disc slot, store the disc in its  
case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe  
the disc from the center out.  
Notes on discs  
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs  
(recordable CDs), and CD-RWs (rewritable CDs).  
The disc must be in the ISO 9660*1 level 1 or level 2  
format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format.  
You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl  
LPs.

*1 ISO 9660 Format  
The playback order of the MP3 files  
The most common international standard for the  
logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.  
There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file  
names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight  
characters in the name, no more than three  
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital  
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight  
characters. There can be no more than eight nested  
folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names  
up to 31 characters long.  
The playback order of the folders and files is as  
follows:  
Folder (album)  
1
1
MP3 file (tracks)  
2
2
3
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.  
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, make  
sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

*2 Multi Session  
5

This is a recording method that enables adding of  
data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional  
CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in  
and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session  
CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each  
segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a  
single session.  
CD-EXTRA: A format in which CD-DA (audio) data  
are recorded in the tracks of session 1 and computer  
data in the tracks of session 2.

• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1, folder names or  
file names may not be displayed correctly.  
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension “.MP3” to  
the file name.  
• If you up the extension “.MP3” to a file other than MP3, the  
unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate  
random noise that could damage your speakers.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.  
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.  
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.  
Notes  
• A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped.  
• When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer  
time to start playback.  
We recommend that you make only one or two trees for  
each disc.  
• Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder and  
empty folders)  
– a disc to which data can be added (non-finalized disc).  
• Maximum total number of MP3 files and folders: 300  
• The CD player can play the MP3 files in a folder whose  
depth in the folder tree is up to 8.  
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi  
Session  
CD-DA (audio) data or MP3 files stored on a Multi Session  
CD may be subject to some restrictions on playback.  
– If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized  
as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an  
MP3 session is encountered.  
Tip  
To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file  
name, input the order by number (e.g., “01”, “02”), then  
record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on  
the writing software.)  
– If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as  
an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA  
(audio) session is encountered.  
– The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the  
tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.  
– A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a  
CD-DA (audio) disc.  
Note on playback of MP3 files  
Depending on the encoding/writing software, recording  
device, or the recording media used at the time an MP3 file is  
recorded, you may encounter such problems as disabled  
playback, sound interruptions, and noise.

Additional Information  
Example  
Using the CONTROL A1II  
control system  
This player is compatible with the CONTROL A1II  
Control System.  
Amplifier  
CD  
player  
MD  
deck  
Other  
component  
The CONTROL A1II control system was designed to  
simplify the operation of audio systems composed of  
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1II  
connections provide a path for the transmission of  
control signals that enable automatic operation and  
control features usually associated with integrated  
systems.  
Currently, CONTROL A1II connections between a  
Sony MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), and  
cassette deck provide automatic function selection and  
synchronized recording.  
In the CONTROL A1II control system, the control signals flow  
both ways, so there is no distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a  
component has more than one CONTROL A1II jack, you can  
use either one, or connect different components to each jack.  
About the connecting cable  
When a CONTROL A1II compatible component is not  
supplied with a connecting cable, use a commercially  
available monaural (2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters  
long, with no resistance (such as the Sony RK-G69HG).  
Basic functions of the CONTROL A1II  
control system  
In the future the CONTROL A1II connection will work  
as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various  
functions for each component.  
Automatic function selection  
Note  
When you connect CONTROL A1II compatible Sony  
components using CONTROL A1II cables (not supplied), the  
function selector on the amplifier (or receiver) automatically  
switches to the correct input when you press the play button  
on one of the connected components.  
The CONTROL A1II control system is designed to maintain  
upward compatibility as the control system is upgraded to  
handle new functions. In this case, however, older  
components will not be compatible with the new functions.  
(For example, when you press H (play button) on the CD  
player while the MD deck is playing, the function selector on  
the amplifier switches from MD to CD.)  
CONTROL A1II and CONTROL A1 compatibility  
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to the  
CONTROL A1II which is the standard system in the Sony 300  
disc CD changer and other recent Sony components.  
Notes  
This function works only when the components are  
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs according to  
the names on the function buttons. Certain receivers allow  
you to switch the names of the function buttons. In this  
case, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the  
receiver.  
When recording, do not play any components other than  
the recording source. It will cause the automatic function  
selection to operate.  
Components with CONTROL A1 jacks are compatible with  
components with CONTROL A1II jacks, and can be connected  
to each other. Basically, the majority of the functions available  
with the CONTROL A1 control system will be available with  
the CONTROL A1II control system. However, when making  
connections between components with CONTROL A1 jacks  
and components with CONTROL A1II jacks, the number of  
functions that can be controlled may be limited depending on  
the component. For detailed information, refer to the  
operating instructions supplied with the component(s).  
Connecting the CONTROL A1II control  
system  
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in series to the  
CONTROL A1II jacks on the back of each component.  
You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1II compatible  
components in any order. However, you can connect  
only one of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1  
MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver). (You may be able  
to connect more than one CD player or MD deck,  
depending on the model. Refer to the operating  
instructions supplied with the respective component  
for details.)

Precautions  
On safety  
1
2
3
4
Set the source selector on the amplifier (or  
receiver) to the CD.  
Caution The use of optical instruments with this product  
will increase eye hazard.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the player and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
Set the CD to playing pause mode (make sure both  
the H and X indicators light together).  
On power sources  
Set the recording component to recording pause  
mode.  
Before operating the player, check that the operating  
voltage of the player is identical with your local power  
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate  
at the rear of the player.  
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source  
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if  
the unit itself has been turned off.  
Press X on the deck.  
The CD is automatically released from pause  
mode, and recording begins shortly thereafter.  
When play ends from the CD, recording stops.  
If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be  
sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To  
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
The AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
Tip  
Certain recorder components may be equipped with a special  
synchronized recording function that uses the CONTROL  
A1II Control System; like CD Synchro Dubbing.In this case,  
refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the recorder  
component.  
On placement  
Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent heat build-up in the player.  
Note  
Do not set more than one component to the pause mode.  
Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that  
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.  
Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in  
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
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 player. Should this occur,  
the player may not operate properly. In this case, leave the  
player turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
On adjusting volume  
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with  
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the  
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is  
played.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.  
On transportation  
When transporting the player, open the front cover then  
remove all the discs from the player and turn the power off.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
