* When playing a VBR MP3 file, the system may resume playback from a different point.
Press PLAY MODE repeatedly while the USB device is stopped. You can select normal play ( for all files in the folder on the digital music player), shuffle play (SHUF or SHUF), or program play (PGM). Notes on the USB device
You cannot change the play mode during playback. Some time may be needed to start playback when: the folder structure is complex. the memory capacity is excessive.
When the USB device is inserted, the system reads all the files on the USB device. If there are many folders or files on the USB device, it may take a long time to finish reading the USB device. Do not connect the system and the USB device through an USB hub. With some connected USB devices, after an operation is performed, there may be a delay before it is performed by this system. This system does not necessarily support all the functions provided in a connected USB device. Files recorded by this system are played back in the order of folder creation. Files recorded by a device other than this system such as a computer may not be played back in the order in which they were recorded. The playback order for the system may differ from the playback order of the connected USB device. Always hold down and make sure that NO DEVICE appears before removing the USB device. Removing the USB device while NO DEVICE is not displayed may corrupt the data on it or damage the USB device itself. Do not save other types of files or unnecessary folders on an USB device that has MP3 files. Folders that have no MP3 files are skipped. The system can only play MP3 files that have a file extension of.MP3. If there are files on the USB device that have the.MP3 file extension, but that are not MP3 files, the unit may produce noise or may malfunction. The maximum number of MP3 files and folders that can be contained on a single USB device is 999 (including the ROOT and MUSIC folders). The maximum number of MP3 files and folders may vary depending on the file and folder structure. Compatibility with all MP3 encoding/writing softwares, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB device may produce noise or interrupted audio or may not play at all.

Troubleshooting

1 Make sure the power cord and
speaker cords are correctly and firmly connected. below, and take the indicated corrective action. If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.
Connect the system to a different wall socket. Install a noise filter (available separately) to the power cord. The remote does not function. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit, and position the unit away from fluorescent lights. Point the remote at the systems sensor. Move the remote closer to the system.
2 Find your problem in the checklist

CD/MP3 player

The sound skips, or the disc will not play. Wipe the disc clean, and replace it. Move the system to a location away from vibration (for example, on top of a stable stand). Move the speakers away from the system, or place them on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration may cause the sound to skip. Play does not start from the first track. Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until both PGM and SHUF disappear to return to normal play. Starting playback takes more time than usual. The following discs take a longer time to start playback. a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure. a disc recorded in multisession mode. a disc that has not been finalized (a disc to which data can be added). a disc that has many folders.
If the STANDBY indicator flashes Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the following items. If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage selector set to the correct voltage? Are you using only the supplied speakers? Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the top or back of the system? After the STANDBY indicator stops flashing, reconnect the power cord, and turn on the system. If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

General

Sound comes from one channel, or the left and right volumes are unbalanced. Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible. Connect only the supplied speakers. Severe hum or noise. Move the system away from sources of noise.

Precautions

Discs that this system CAN play Audio CD CD-R/CD-RW (audio data/MP3 files) Discs that this system CANNOT play CD-ROM CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in music CD format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or multisession CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that have not ended by closing the session CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-RW that have scratches or are dirty, or CD-R/CDRW recorded with an incompatible recording device CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly Discs containing files other than MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3) files Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, square, star) Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached to them Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky when touched Notes on discs Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from the center out 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 socket (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. The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified service facility. 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, with 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 CD player, 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 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 system This 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 cabinet Clean 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.
