What You Can Do With the
Custom Files
Labeling Discs (Disc Name)
You can label discs using up to 12 characters and have
the player display the Disc Name each time you select
the disc. The Disc Name can be anything you like, such
as a title, musician’s name, category or date of
purchase.
The player can store two types of information called
“Custom Files,” up to 255 discs. Once you have stored
Custom Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls
what you have stored whenever you select the disc.
Note that Custom Files will be erased if you do not use
the player for about one month.
z When you select a CD TEXT disc
The disc title is stored as the Disc Name automatically.
If the disc title has more than 12 characters, the first 12
characters of the disc title are stored (see page 11).
Note that you cannot change the Disc Name of the CD

Precautions
Notes on CDs
On safety
On handling CDs
• Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not
will increase eye hazard.
touch the surface.
• 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.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
On power sources
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use any commercially available stabilizer. If you do,
the disc and the player may be damaged.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the player.
• 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.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.
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, remove
the disc and 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
