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: This format records audio (audio CD  
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks  
in session 2.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
Music discs encoded with  
copyright protection  
technologies  
• 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.  
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may  
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,  
recording condition or the driver’s  
characteristics.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been  
finalized (processing to allow play by a  
normal CD player) cannot be played.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-  
session that have not ended by “closing the  
session” are not supported.  
This product is designed to playback discs that  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with  
copyright protection technologies are marketed  
by some record companies. Please be aware that  
among those discs, there are some that do not  
conform to the CD standard and may not be  
playable by this product.  
Cautions when playing a disc  
that is recorded in Multi  
Session  
• The system may be unable to play MP3  
format files that do not have the extender  
“.MP3”.  
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that  
have the extender “.MP3” may result in noise  
or malfunction.  
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and  
2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
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.  
• 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.  
– a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.  
– a disc to which data can be added (non-  
finalized disc).

Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
(European model only)  
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 FMstations 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* tFrequency tProgram type*  
tClock display tEffect status  
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the  
station name or program type may not appear in the  
display.

On the speaker system  
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and  
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically  
distorted. In such a case, turn off the TV set once, and  
after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.  
If there seems to be no improvement,  
locate the speaker system further away from the TV  
set. Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets  
are attached or used near the speaker system, such as  
audio racks, TV stands and toys. These way cause  
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their  
interaction with the system.  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
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.  
• 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 placement  
Notes on discs  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• 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.  
• 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  
– 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink  
that feels tacky when touched.  
• 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.  
On heat buildup  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat buildup 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.  
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the  
ventilation hole for the cooling fan.
