Use the optional Sony compact disc single adapter (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from being damaged.
About the LCD display on the display section
When the temperature is extremely high or low, the display may become dim and hard to see. This is due to the characteristics of the LCD and is not a malfunction. The display will return to normal when the temperature becomes normal.

Notes on battery use

To avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion: Make sure the polarity of the batteries match the + and markings in the battery compartment. Do not use an old battery with a new one, or different types of batteries together. Remove the batteries when the system will not be used for a long period of time. Do not charge the batteries. If any battery leakage occurs, replace both batteries after cleaning the battery compartment.

Wireless Remote

Installing batteries in the wireless remote
Insert two size-AA (R6) batteries with the correct polarity.
Notes on the wireless remote
To prevent deformation due to heat, do not leave the remote in a place subject to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the systems ability to receive infrared signals from the remote. If this happens, move the remote closer to the remote control sensor of the system. When parking your car, put the remote somewhere, such as the glove compartment, that is away from direct sunlight to prevent deformation due to heat.

Battery life

When the batteries become weak, you will not be able to operate the unit with the wireless remote. Battery life is about six months (or shorter, depending on the way the remote is used). If the remote becomes inoperative, replace the batteries, then verify that it can operate the system.

Fuse replacement

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.
