Notes About the Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle 
the disc by its edge. Do not touch 
the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or 
scratches on the disc may cause 
it to malfunction.
• Do not expose the disc to direct 
sunlight or heat sources such as 
hot air ducts, or leave it in a car 
parked in direct sunlight as the 
temperature may rise 
considerably inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its 
case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning 
cloth. 
Wipe the disc from the centre 
out.
• Do not use solvents such as 
benzine, thinner, commercially 
available cleaners, or anti-static 
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If  you have printed the disc’s 
label, dry the label before 
playing.
Precautions
On safety
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.
On power sources
• 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.
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.
• 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 install this player in a 
confined space, such as a 
bookshelf or similar unit.
• Install the player so that the AC 
power cord (mains lead) can be 
unplugged from the wall socket 
immediately in the event of 
trouble.
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 half an 
hour until the moisture 
evaporates.
• When you move the player, take 
out any discs. If you don’t, the 
disc may be damaged.
• Do not touch the disc if it is still 
spinning when you open the lid.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while 
listening to a section with very low 
level inputs or no audio signals. If 
you do, the speakers may be 
damaged when a peak level section 
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.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens 
cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or 
disc/lens cleaners (including 
wet or spray types). These 
may cause the apparatus to 
malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the event that this unit is 
repaired, repaired parts may be 
collected for reuse or recycling 
purposes.
If you have any questions or 
problems concerning your player, 
please consult your nearest Sony 
dealer.
