CD-TEXT TEST DISC

This unit is able to display the test data (character information) written in the CD on its fluorescent indicator tube. The CD-TEXT TEST DISC (TGCS-313:4-989-366-01) is used for checking the display. To check, perform the following procedure. Checking Method: 1. Turn ON the power, set the disc on a tray, and chuck the disc. 2. Press the button and play back the disc. 3. The following will be displayed on the fluorescent indicator tube. Display : 1KHZ/0 DB 4. Rotate AMS knob to switch the track. The text data of each track will be displayed. For details of the displayed contents for each track, refer to Table 1 : CD-TEXT TEST DISC Recorded Contents and Display. Restrictions in CD-TEXT Display In this unit, some special characters will not be displayed properly. These will be displayed as a space or a character resembling it. Table 1 : CD-TEXT TEST DISC Recorded Data Contents and Display (TRACKS No. 1 to 32:Normal Characters) TRACK No.

SECTION 1 SERVICING NOTE

HOW TO OPEN THE DISC TRAY WHEN POWER SWITCH TURNS OFF NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK OR BASE UNIT The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body. During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair parts. The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with care. NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pickup block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission, observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens. LASER DIODE AND FOCUS SEARCH OPERATION CHECK Carry out the S curve check in CD section adjustment and check that the S curve waveform is output two times.

WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
The laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

On adjusting volume

Precautions

On safety

Caution The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. 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.
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion 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 power sources

Before operating the player, check that the operating voltage of the player is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the player. 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. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the rear exterior. The following caution label is located inside of the unit.

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Compact Disc Player. Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

About This Manual

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 that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom. Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock. The instructions in this manual are for model CDP-XE900E.

Conventions

Instructions in this manual describe the controls on the player. You can also use the controls on the remote if they have the same or similar names as those on the player. The following icons are used in this manual: Indicates that you can do the task using the remote. Indicates hints and tips for making the task easier.

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 an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When to replace batteries
With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the player, replace all the batteries with new ones. : Signal flow To mains
What cords will I need? Notes
Do not leave the remote near an extremely hot or humid place. Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you dont use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

You can adjust the output level to the amplifier
Press LINE OUT LEVEL +/ on the remote. You can reduce the output level up to 20 dB. When you reduce the output level, FADE appears in the display. When you turn off the player, the output level automatically returns to the maximum level.
Connecting the mains lead
Connect the mains lead to a wall outlet.
Removing the warning from the disc tray
The warning, Do not touch the lens inside, is put inside the disc tray at the factory. Before using the player, you must remove this warning. Turn on the player, and press OPEN/ CLOSE, and remove the warning.
If you press the LINE OUT LEVEL +/ buttons on the remote while recording, the recording level will change even when it is preset on the tape deck, etc.
If you have a digital component such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off the cap and plug in the optical cable. Note that you cannot use the following functions when making this connection: Fading in or out (see page 13) Time Fade (see page 13) Adjusting the output level using the LINE OUT LEVEL +/ buttons on the remote (see above) POC-15 Optical cable (not supplied) CD player

Useful Tips for Recording
Using these functions makes recording CDs more convenient.

Notes on CDs

On handling CDs
To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

PEAK SEARCH AUTO SPACE

p Not this way
Adjusting the Recording Level (Peak Search)
The player locates the highest level among the tracks to be recorded to let you adjust the recording level before you start recording.
Before you start playing, press PEAK SEARCH. PEAK flashes in the display and the player repeats the portion of the highest level. Adjust the recording level on the deck. Press p on the player to stop Peak Search. PEAK disappears from the display.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature inside the car. Do not use any commercially available stabilizer and/or disc protector. If you do, the disc and the player may be damaged. After playing, store the disc in its case.
On placing CDs on the disc tray
Make sure the disc is positioned securely on the tray's spindle. If not, it may damage the player or the disc.
Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.
The portion with the highest level may differ every time you try the adjustment on the same disc. The difference is, however, so slight that you wont find any problem in adjusting the recording level precisely.
