Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
What is the Radio Data  
System?  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. RDS is available only on FM  
stations.*  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they  
provide the same types of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your  
area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:  
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display  
t Bass level t Treble level  
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the  
station name may not appear in the display.

On operation  
• 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. Should this occur, the system will not operate  
properly. Remove the disc and leave the system  
turned on for about an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On operating voltage  
Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On safety  
• 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.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by  
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Notes on discs  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
• 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.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,  
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.  
This may cause a malfunction to the system.  
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky  
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a  
special ink when the label was printed, there is a  
chance that the disc or label may become attached to  
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be  
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this  
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label  
side of the disc is not sticky before using.  
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at  
the qualified service shop.  
On placement  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;  
– Extremely hot or cold  
– Dusty or dirty  
– Very humid  
– Subject to vibrations  
The following types of disc should not be used:  
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the  
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the  
seal on the disc is tacky.  
– Subject to direct sunlight.  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink  
that feels tacky when touched.  
On heat buildup  
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do  
so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
• This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by  
the user. However, note that playback of some discs  
may not be possible depending on the recording  
device used for recording or the disc condition.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been finalized  
(processing to allow play by a normal CD player)  
cannot be played.  
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the  
ventilation hole.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-session  
mode are not supported.
