Precautions  
On installation  
• Never use your Network Walkman where it  
will be subjected to extremes of light,  
temperature, moisture or vibration.  
On the use  
• When using a strap, careful to avoid  
hooking it on objects you pass by.  
• Do not use the Network Walkman on an  
aircraft.  
On cleaning  
• Clean your Network Walkman casing with  
a soft cloth slightly moistened with water  
or a mild detergent solution.  
• Never leave the Network Walkman  
exposed to high temperature, such as in a  
car parked in the sun or under direct  
sunlight.  
• Clean the headphone plug periodically.  
Note  
On the headphones  
Road Safety  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring  
powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it  
may mar the finish of the casing.  
Do not use headphones while driving,  
cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle.  
It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in  
many areas. It can also be potentially  
dangerous to play your Network Walkman at  
a high volume while walking, especially at  
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise  
extreme caution or discontinue use in  
potentially hazardous situations.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your Network Walkman, please  
consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
Preventing hearing damage  
Avoid using the headphones at a high  
volume. Hearing experts advise against  
continuous, loud and extended play. If you  
experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the  
volume or discontinue use.  
Caring for others  
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This  
will allow you to hear outside sounds and to  
be considerate to the people around you.  
Warning  
If there is lightning when you are using your  
Network Walkman, take off the headphones  
immediately.

MagicGate  
Copyright protection technology that consists of authentication and encryption technology.  
Authentication ensures that protected content is transferred only between compliant devices and  
media, and that protected content is recorded and transferred in an encrypted format to prevent  
unauthorized copying or playback.  
Note  
is terminology denoting the copyright protection system developed by Sony. It does not  
guarantee conversion among other media.  
OpenMG  
Copyright protection technology that securely manages music content from the EMD/Audio CD  
on a personal computer. Application software that is installed on the computer encrypts the  
digital music content when recording on the hard drive. This allows you to enjoy music content  
on the computer, but prevents unauthorized transmission of this content across a network (or  
elsewhere). This PC copyright protection complies with “MagicGate”, and allows you to transfer  
digital music content from a PC’s hard drive to a compliant device.  
ATRAC3  
ATRAC3, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3, is audio compression  
technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates.  
The ATRAC3 compression rate is approximately 10 times higher than that of the Audio CD,  
resulting in an increased data capacity for the media.  
ATRAC3plus  
ATRAC3plus, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus, is audio  
compression technology that compresses data higher than ATRAC3. The ATRAC3plus is new  
audio compression technology that enables equal or higher quality sound comparing to  
ATRAC3.  
Bit rate  
Indicates the data amount per second. The rate is reflected in bps (bit per second).  
64 kbps means 64,000 bits of information per second. If the bit rate is large, that means a large  
amount of information is used to play music. Comparing music of the same format (e,g.,  
ATRAC3plus), 64 kbps data offers better sound quality than 48 kbps data. However, audio files  
in formats such as MP3 have different encoding methods, and thus sound quality cannot be  
determined by simply comparing the bit rate.

MP3  
MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a format standard for music file compression.
