The numbers in the list are keyed to those in the instructions. The bracket and the protection collar are attached to the unit before shipping. Before mounting the unit, use the release keys to remove the bracket and the protection collar from the unit. For details, see Removing the protection collar and the bracket () on the reverse side of the sheet. Keep the release keys for future use as they are also necessary if you remove the unit from your car. Caution Handle the bracket carefully to avoid injuring your ngers.
To the +12 V power terminal which is energized at all times
Be sure to connect the black ground (earth) lead to a metal surface of the car rst. Notes on the control and power supply leads The power antenna (aerial) control lead (blue) supplies +12 V DC when you turn on the tuner. When your car has built-in FM/AM antenna (aerial) in the rear/ side glass, connect the power antenna (aerial) control lead (blue) or the accessory power supply lead (red) to the power terminal of the existing antenna (aerial) booster. For details, consult your dealer. A power antenna (aerial) without a relay box cannot be used with this unit. Memory hold connection When the yellow power supply lead is connected, power will always be supplied to the memory circuit even when the ignition switch is turned off. Notes on speaker connection Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off. Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with adequate power handling capacities to avoid its damage. Do not connect the speaker terminals to the car chassis, or connect the terminals of the right speakers with those of the left speaker. Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the negative () terminal of the speaker. Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel. Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers (with built-in ampliers) to the speaker terminals may damage the unit. To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads installed in your car if the unit shares a common negative () lead for the right and left speakers. Do not connect the units speaker leads to each other. Note on connection If speaker and amplier are not connected correctly, FAILURE appears in the display. In this case, make sure the speaker and amplier are connected correctly.

Additional Information Precautions
If your car has been parked in direct sunlight, allow the unit to cool off before operating it. Power antenna (aerial) will extend automatically while the unit is operating.
Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.
Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs
Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used for its recording or the condition of the disc) may not play on this unit. You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not finalized. The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level 1/ level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion format, and Multi Session. The maximum number of: folders (albums): 150 (including root and empty folders). files (tracks) and folders contained in a disc: 300 (if a folder/file names contain many characters, this number may become less than 300). displayable characters for a folder/file name is 32 (Joliet), or 64 (Romeo). When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the first track of the first session format is recognized and played (any other format is skipped). The priority of the format is CD-DA, ATRAC CD and MP3/WMA/AAC. When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the first session is played. When the first track is not a CD-DA, an ATRAC CD or MP3/WMA/AAC session is played. If the disc has no data in any of these formats, NO MUSIC is displayed.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture condensation may occur inside the lenses and display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated.
To maintain high sound quality
Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the unit or discs.

Notes on discs

To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its edge. Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use. Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a dashboard/rear tray. Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/ residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs: Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism). Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g., playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp. 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. You cannot play 8 cm (3 1/4 in) CDs. This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About USB devices

Mass Storage Class, and ATRAC Audio Device type USB devices compliant with the USB standard can be used. However, this unit cannot recognize USB devices via a USB HUB, and is not compatible with devices that have a HUB function. For details on the compatibility of your USB device, visit the Sony support website (page 19). Corresponding codec is different according to device type. Mass Storage Class: MP3/WMA/AAC ATRAC Audio Device: ATRAC/MP3/WMA/ AAC DRM (Digital Rights Management) files other than ATRAC cannot be played. Displayable data are as follows. Mass Storage Class: Folders (Albums): 512, Files (Tracks): 65535 ATRAC Audio Device: ATRAC/MP3/WMA/AAC Albums/Artists/Playlists: 65535, Tracks: 65535

Note Be sure to create the ATRAC files using authorized software, such as SonicStage. ATRAC files cannot be played on USB devices other than ATRAC Audio Device.
Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact. Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery. Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage rating stated on the original 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.

Fuse (10A)

Cleaning the connectors
The unit may not function properly if the connectors between the unit and the front panel are not clean. In order to prevent this, detach the front panel (page 5) and clean the connectors with a cotton swab. Do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may be damaged.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the card remote commander
Under normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
+ side up Main unit Back of the front panel
Notes For safety, turn off the ignition before cleaning the connectors, and remove the key from the ignition switch. Never touch the connectors directly with your fingers or with any metal device.
Notes on the lithium battery Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.
