Precautions
When carrying the unit
Perform the following procedure to 
protect the disc mechanism.
Use the buttons on the unit to perform this 
operation.
1Press "/1 to turn on the system.
2Press CD.
3Remove the disc.
Press Z OPEN/CLOSE to open and 
close the disc tray.
Wait until “NO DISC” appears in the 
display panel.
4Hold down CD and FLANGER for 
3 seconds. 
“MECHA LOCK” appears in the 
display panel.
5Unplug the power cord.
Notes on discs Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning 
cloth from the center outward to the edge.
 Do not clean discs with solvents, such as 
benzine, thinner, or commercially available 
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl 
LPs.
 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat 
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a 
car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety Completely disconnect the power cord (mains 
lead) from the wall outlet (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 
system, unplug the system, and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it again.
 (For customers in United States only)
One blade of the plug is wider than other for 
the purpose of safety and will fit to the wall 
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert 
the plug fully into the outlet, contact your 
dealer.
 AC power cord must be changed only at the 
qualified service shop.
On placement Do not place the system 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, wax, oil, polish) as staining or 
discoloration of the surface may result.
 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 unit, and cause the system to 
malfunction. In this situation, remove the 
disc, and leave the system turned on for about 
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup Heat buildup on the unit during operation is 
normal and is not a 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 obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker systemThis 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.
Cleaning the cabinetClean this system 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 thinner, benzine, 
or alcohol.
On Bluetooth CommunicationBluetooth devices should be used within 
approximately 10 meters (33 feet) 
(unobstructed distance) of each other. The 
effective communication range may become 
shorter under the following conditions.
– When a person, metal object, wall or other 
obstruction is between the devices with a 
Bluetooth connection
– Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
– Around microwave ovens that are in use
– Locations where other electromagnetic 
waves occur

Additional Information
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN 
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency 
band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth 
device near a device with wireless LAN 
capability, electromagnetic interference may 
occur. This could result in lower data transfer 
rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this 
happens, try the following remedies:
– Try connecting this system and Bluetooth 
device when you are at least 10 meters 
(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN 
equipment.
– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN 
equipment when using your Bluetooth 
device within 10 meters (33 feet).
 The radio waves broadcast by this system may 
interfere with the operation of some medical 
devices. Since this interference may result in 
malfunction, always turn off the power on this 
system and Bluetooth device in the following 
locations:
– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas 
stations, and any place where flammable 
gases may be present
– Near automatic doors or fire alarms
 This system supports security functions that 
comply with the Bluetooth specification as a 
means of ensuring security during 
communication using Bluetooth technology. 
However, this security may be insufficient 
depending on the setting contents and other 
factors, so always be careful when performing 
communication using Bluetooth technology.
 Sony cannot be held liable in any way for 
damages or other loss resulting from 
information leaks during communication 
using Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth communication is not necessarily 
guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that 
have the same profile as this system.
Bluetooth devices connected with this system 
must comply with the Bluetooth specification 
prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and 
must be certified to comply. However, even 
when a device complies with the Bluetooth 
specification, there may be cases where the 
characteristics or specifications of the 
Bluetooth device make it impossible to 
connect, or may result in different control 
methods, display or operation.
 Noise may occur or the audio may cut off 
depending on the Bluetooth device connected 
with this system, the communications 
environment, or surrounding conditions.
