• With the following kinds of CDs, you may
experience a reading failure or noise when recorded
on an MD:
— CDs with adhesive labels attached to them
— Irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart- or
star- shaped)
— CDs with printed text concentrated on one side
only
— Old CDs
— Scratched CDs
— Dirty CDs
— Warped CDs
• If the following occurs during CD playback or
recording, a reading error may occur or noise may
be produced in the recorded results:
— The CD tray or other part of the system is
bumped.
— The system is placed on an uneven or soft
surface.
— The system is located near a speaker, door, or
other source of vibration.
• If the above reading errors occur, a extra soundless
track may be created. You can erase these extra
tracks using Erase Function (see “Erasing
recordings” on page 27).
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the centre out.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• 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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
On installing
When you move the system, remove the CD or MD.
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 or the MD deck. Should this occur, the
system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or
MD and leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is magnetically semishielded.
However, in some cases, the picture on TV sets may
become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn
off the power of 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 may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Notes on MDs
• If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be
damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately
without touching the disc inside.
• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the
specified label indentation. Do not affix the label
around the shutter or in other locations. Note that
the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.

• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove

• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
