Precautions/Specifications  
Precautions  
On safety  
On heat buildup  
Consideration for others  
Keep the volume at a moderate  
level out of consideration of your  
neighbors, especially at night.  
Completely disconnect the  
power cord (mains lead) from  
the wall socket (mains) if it  
is not going to be used for an  
extended period of time. When  
unplugging the unit, always grip  
the plug. Never pull the cord  
itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid  
get into the unit, unplug the unit,  
and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it  
again.  
Heat buildup on the unit during  
operation is normal and is not  
cause for alarm.  
Do not touch the cabinet if it has  
been used continuously at a high  
volume because the cabinet may  
have become hot.  
Do not block the ventilation  
holes on the bottom of this unit.  
Doing so will prevent the heat  
produced by the unit’s amplifier  
to build up, which may cause the  
unit to malfunction. Make sure  
these holes are free from any  
obstruction.  
About the Hard Disk Drive  
Because of its high storage  
density, the hard disk can read  
and write data a very high speeds.  
It is, however, easily damaged by  
mechanical vibration, shock, or  
dust. Although the hard disk is  
equipped with safety mechanisms  
to prevent the lost of data due  
to these factors, the following  
precautions should be taken during  
the handling of the unit.  
e AC power cord can be  
changed only by a qualified  
service facility.  
Do not subject the unit to strong  
shocks or vibrations.  
When moving the unit  
On placement  
Do not move the unit while a CD  
is inserted. Doing so may damage  
the CD.  
Do not place the unit in a  
location subject to mechanical  
vibration or at an unstable  
location.  
Do not move the unit while the  
power cord is connected to a  
wall outlet.  
Do not disconnect the power  
cord while the unit is recording  
or playing a track.  
Do not use the unit in a place  
subject to extreme changes in  
temperature (a temperature  
gradient greater than 18°F  
(10°C)/hour).  
Do not attempt to replace or  
upgrade the hard disk drive by  
yourself, as this may cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
Sony cannot provide compensation  
for any loss of data caused by a  
damaged hard disk drive.  
Do not place the unit in an  
inclined position or in locations  
that are extremely hot, cold,  
dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking  
adequate ventilation, or subject  
to vibration, direct sunlight or a  
bright light.  
Be careful when placing the  
unit or speakers on surfaces that  
have been specially treated (for  
example, with wax, oil, polish) as  
staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
If the unit 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, and cause the unit to  
malfunction. In this situation,  
remove the disc, and leave the  
unit turned on for about an hour  
until the moisture evaporates.  
On the speaker system  
is speaker system is not  
magnetically shielded, and the  
picture on nearby TV sets may  
become magnetically distorted. In  
this situation, turn off the TV, wait  
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back  
on. If there is no improvement,  
move the speakers far away from  
the TV.  
On volume adjustment  
CDs reproduce sound with  
considerably less noise than vinyl  
records. For this reason, if you raise  
the volume while listening to a  
segment containing only noise (as  
you might do in the case of a vinyl  
record), a sudden output of high-  
volume sound may cause damage  
to the speakers.  
Make sure to lower the volume  
before the start of playback.

Cleaning the cabinet  
Music discs encoded with  
copyright protection  
technologies  
Clean this unit with a soſt cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use  
any type of abrasive pad, scouring  
powder, or solvent, such as thinner,  
benzine, or alcohol.  
is 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.  
Note on the power cord  
Before you unplug the power cord  
from the wall outlet, make sure  
that the unit is turned off. If you  
unplug the power cord while the  
unit is operating, data that was  
recorded may be lost or the unit  
may malfunction.  
Note on DualDiscs  
A DualDisc is a two sided disc  
product which mates DVD  
recorded material on one side with  
digital audio material on the other  
side. However, since the audio  
material side does not conform to  
the Compact Disc (CD) standard,  
playback on this product is not  
guaranteed.  
Notes on CDs  
Do not scratch or attach stickers  
to the surface of the disc.  
CDs with non-standard shapes  
(e.g., a star, heart, or square)  
cannot be played on this unit.  
Attempting to do so may damage  
the unit.  
When cleaning the disc, use a  
cleaning cloth and wipe the disc  
from the center out to the edge.  
If the disc is extremely dirty,  
wipe the disc with a slightly  
moistened cloth, followed by  
a dry cloth. Do not clean a  
disc with a benzine thinner,  
commercial cleaners or anti-  
static sprays intended for vinyl  
LPs.  
Note on MP3/WMA/AAC files  
Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/  
AAC encoding/writing soſtware,  
recording device, and recording  
media cannot be guaranteed.  
Incompatible MP3/WMA/AAC  
files may produce noise or  
interrupted audio or may not play  
at all.  
Do not place discs in hot places,  
including places exposed to  
direct sunlight, near heat sources  
such as hot air ducts, or inside  
parked cars.  
Do not use a rental or second-  
hand disc on which glue that  
spread from under the label  
attached to it. If you do, there is a  
chance that the disc may become  
stuck to parts within the unit,  
causing it to malfunction.  
Do not use a commercial  
cleaning disc as it may cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
ꢂꢃGB  
About CDs  
The unit CAN play the following  
discs  
CDs:  
Music CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs  
MP3 files:  
CD-Rs and CD-RWs (recorded  
in a format conforming to the  
ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2, or Joliet  
standards). Multisession CDs are  
supported.  
Notes  
If the disc begins with a CD-DA  
(or MP3) session, it is recognized  
as a CD-DA (or MP3) disc, and  
other sessions are not played  
back.  
A disc with a mixed CD format  
is recognized as a CD-DA  
(audio) disc.  
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may  
not be played on this unit,  
depending on its characteristics  
and the recording conditions.  
CD-RWs may require some time  
before they begin to play. is  
is because they have a lower  
reflection index than other kinds  
of discs.  
In the case of discs containing  
more than 511 tracks of audio  
data, the unit will not recognize  
track 512 or above.  
Discs with many directories  
or a complicated structure  
may require some time before  
they start playing. When  
recording albums to a disc, it is  
recommended that recording  
will be done no deeper than the  
sub-directory 2 level.  
Tip  
For details on writing data to a  
disc, refer to the operating manual  
supplied with the CD-R/RW drive  
or soſtware for burning data.

Glossary  
Bit rate  
e bit rate is a measure of data  
volume expressed in bits per  
second (bps).  
MP3  
DAB (Digital Audio  
Broadcasting)-related  
terms (UK model only)  
Abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio  
Layer3. It is a standard for audio  
file compression determined by the  
MPEG (Motion Picture Experts  
Group), an ISO (International  
Organization for Standardization)  
working group. It enables  
compression of audio files to about  
1/10 of the data size of a standard  
compact disc. Since the MP3  
encoding algorithm is disclosed,  
there are various encoders/  
Dynamic label segment  
e text data transmitted for each  
channel or service.  
Byte  
One of the fundamental units  
used to express digitized data  
in computers. Digitized data is  
commonly expressed in binary  
digits (zeros and ones). A single  
unit of data is one bit. One byte  
consists of eight bits.  
Ensemble label  
In DAB, multiple digital radio  
channels are transmitted using  
a single radio transmission or  
frequency. A group of channels sent  
this way is called an “ensemble”  
and “ensemble label” is the name of  
such a group.  
decoders that are compliant with  
this standard. e MP3 standard  
is therefore widely used in the  
computer field.  
Condensation  
Condensation occurs inside the  
unit during where there is a quick  
rise in temperature, as when a  
heater is turned on. If condensation  
occurs, keep the unit turned off  
until the moisture evaporates.  
Service label  
e name of an individual digital  
radio channel or service.  
Sampling frequency  
When audio sources are converted  
from analog to digital data, they  
must be changed into numbers  
(digitized). is process is called  
sampling, and the sampling  
frequency refers to the number of  
times per second that the signals  
are measured for the recording.  
Music CDs are sampled at 44,100  
times per second, so the sampling  
frequency is expressed as 44.1 kHz.  
Generally, the higher the sampling  
frequency, the higher the fidelity of  
the recording.

A high-volume, digitally encoded  
storage device used in computers  
and other digital devices. By  
combining a magnetic disk and  
drive mechanism into an integrated  
unit, hard disks are capable of  
very fast data writing and reading  
and boast superb data search  
capabilities.  
ID3  
ID3 is information (such as the  
track name or artist name) that is  
recorded in an MP3 file. e ID3  
tag is used by this unit to display  
track information for MP3 files.  
ISO9660  
A standard of the International  
Organization for Standardization  
(ISO) that defines the file system of  
CD-ROM media.
