To match the characteristics of the connected  
subwoofer(s), you can cut out the unwanted  
high and middle frequency signals entering  
the subwoofer(s). By setting the cut-off  
frequency (see the diagram below), the  
subwoofer(s) will output only low frequency  
signals so you can get a clearer sound image.  
Adjusting the fader (FAD)  
Normally, with the DSP mode on, the volume  
of the output sound from the rear speakers is  
lowered automatically to improve the  
efficiency of the listening position setting. If

them in a car parked in direct sunlight where  
there can be a considerable rise in the  
temperature inside the car.  
Maintenance  
Fu se re p la ce m e n t  
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one  
that matches the amperage described on the  
fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power  
connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse  
blows again after replacement, there may be an  
internal malfunction. In such a case, consult  
your nearest Sony dealer.  
Before playing, clean the discs with an optional  
cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center  
out.  
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or antistatic  
spray intended for analog discs.  
Fuse (10 A)  
Wa rn in g  
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating  
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as  
this could damage the unit.

Cle a n in g t h e co n n e ct o rs  
No t e s o n m o ist u re co n d e n sa t io n  
The unit may not function properly if the  
connectors between the unit and the front  
panel are not clean. To prevent this, open the  
front panel by pressing (RELEASE), then  
detach it and clean the connectors with a  
cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Do not apply  
too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may  
be damaged.  
On a rainy day or in a very damp area,  
moisture may condense on the lenses inside  
the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will  
not operate properly. In this case, remove the  
disc and wait for about an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.
