Precautions

If your car has been parked in direct sunlight, allow the unit to cool off before operating it. Power aerial will extend automatically while the unit is operating. If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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.

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.
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.
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 CDs.
Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analogue discs.

About MP3 files

MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard technology and format for compressing a sound sequence. The file is compressed to about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed.
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The disc must be in the ISO 9660*1 level 1 or level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format. You can use a disc recorded in Multi Session*2.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection 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.
Notes on CD-Rs (recordable CDs)/CDRWs (rewritable CDs)

This unit can play the following discs:
Type of discs Label on the disc

Audio CD

ISO 9660 Format The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than 8 characters in the name, no more than 3 characters in the extension.MP3) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no longer than 8 characters. There can be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees. For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format, make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc. Multi Session This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: The format which records audio (audio CD data) as tracks on session 1, and records data as tracks on session 2. Mixed CD: In this format, data is recorded as track 1, and audio (audio CD data) is recorded as track 2.

MP3 files
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/CD-RW that is not finalized*. You can play MP3 files recorded on CDROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. A CD-R/CD-RW to which a session can be added can be played.
* A process necessary for a recorded CD-R/CD-RW disc to be played on the audio CD player.
Notes With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and level 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly. When naming, be sure to add the file extension.MP3 to the file name. If you put the extension.MP3 to a file other than MP3, the unit cannot recognize the file properly and will generate random noise that could damage your speakers. The following discs take a longer time to start playback. a disc recorded with complicated tree structure. a disc recorded in Multi Session. a disc to which data can be added. Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session When the first track of the first session is audio CD data: Only audio CD data of the first session is played back. Any data in subsequent sessions is skipped. When the first track of the first session is not audio CD data: If an MP3 file is in the disc, only MP3 file(s) is played back and other data is skipped. (Audio CD data is not recognized.) If no MP3 file is in the disc, NO MUSIC is displayed and nothing is played back. (Audio CD data is not recognized.)

The playback order of the MP3 files
The playback order of the folders and files is as follows:

Folder (album)

MP3 file (track)
Tree 1 (root) Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
Notes A folder that does not include an MP3 file is skipped. When you insert a disc with many trees, it takes a longer time to start playback. We recommend that you make only one or two trees for each disc. Maximum folder number: 150 (including root folder and empty folders) The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that can be contained in a disc: 300 When a file/folder name contains many characters, this number may become less than 300. Tip To specify a desired playback order, before the folder or file name, input the order by number (e.g., 01, 02), then record contents onto a disc. (The order differs depending on the writing software.)

Resetting the unit

Before operating the unit for the first time, or after replacing the car battery or changing the connections, you must reset the unit. Remove the front panel and press the RESET button with a pointed object, such as a ballpoint pen.
Detaching the front panel

RDS services
RDS data offers you other conveniences, such as: Automatic retuning of a programme, helpful during long-distance drives. AF t page 14 Receiving traffic announcements, even when enjoying another programme/source. TA t page 15 Selecting stations by the type of programme. PTY t page 16 Automatic clock time setting. CT t page 17

Notes Depending on the country/region, not all of the RDS functions are available. RDS will not work properly if the signal strength is too weak or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.
Tips If you want to change the on/off setting while playing a CD, press (AF). When there is no alternative frequency in the area or when you do not need to search for one, turn the AF function off by selecting AF-OFF.
For stations without alternative frequencies
Press (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) () while the station name is flashing (within 8 seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (PI SEEK appears). If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit returns to the previously selected frequency.
Receiving traffic announcements

By activating TA and TP, you can automatically tune in an FM station broadcasting traffic announcements. These settings function regardless of the current FM programme/source, CD; the unit switches back to the original source when the bulletin is over. Press (TA) repeatedly until TA-ON appears. The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. TP indicates reception of such stations, and TA flashes during an actual traffic announcement. The unit will continue searching for stations available with TP if NO TP is indicated. To cancel all traffic announcements, select TAOFF.
Staying with one regional programme
When the AF function is on: this units factory setting restricts reception to a specific region, so you wont be switched to another regional station with a stronger frequency. If you leave this regional programmes reception area or would like to take advantage of the whole AF function, press (AF) for 2 seconds until REG-OFF appears.
Note This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.
Local Link function (United Kingdom only)
