Track number

Elapsed time
When listening to music files (MP3, WAV)
When you start playback the title of the song appears briefly (if there is no title information, the file name appears), followed by the elapsed time. If the title of the song is long, it scrolls across the display.
Remote control display backlight
The backlight of the remote control display comes on when you use the remote control and automatically goes off a few seconds after you finish using it.
Compatible discs and files
You can play back the following discs and files with the drive. Commercially sold music CDs Original music CDs (discs in CD-DA format written to CD-R/RW discs) Music files written to CD-R/RW (MP3, WAV files) Music files written to DVD-R/RW (MP3, WAV files) Music files stored on Memory Stick (MP3, WAV files)
Depending on the device used for recording, the settings of the writing software, and the media type, you may not be able to play back some recordings with the drive. For details about the types of music files that you can play back with the drive, see Music Files (page 52).
MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and is audio compression technology. An audio file compressed in the MP3 format is called an MP3 file. Because the compression ratio of MP3 files is very high, you can write more than 100 five-minute tracks to a CD-R disc.
Default Windows file format in which sounds are saved as waveforms. Unlike MP3 files, WAV files are uncompressed, so their sound quality is better. However, they are also 10 times larger than MP3 files.
You can use the drive with the following power sources. Power management varies according to the type of power supply, as illustrated below.
Drive Cradle AC power Internal battery Batteries (rechargeable) Power management The internal battery is charged in the background. Depending on its state, the drive is turned on or off. Depending on its state, the drive is turned on or off.
Remaining charge indicator
To be able to verify the remaining charge of the internal battery, you must first connect the remote control. As the charge of the internal battery decreases, the indicator on the remote control display changes as follows:

Sufficient charge

Low charge

No charge

Extremely low charge
Notes When you want to verify the remaining charge of the internal battery, be sure that the drive is not connected to the AC power adapter. When the drive is connected to the AC power adapter, the remaining charge indicator does not appear on the remote control display. The remaining charge indicator is only a gauge. It is not meant to accurately reflect the remaining charge of the internal battery. (In other words, one bar does not represent a quarter of the internal battery charge). The remaining charge indicator may change depending on the operating status of the drive.

Disposing of the internal battery
The internal battery used in this drive is a lithium ion polymer battery. Therefore when the time comes to throw away the drive, we ask that you dispose of the internal battery according to your regions regulations on battery disposal.
Inserting batteries into the cradle
You can use the cradle under rechargeable battery power (8 batteries necessary). Doing so allows to use the drive for extended periods of time without connecting it to a power outlet. Compatible batteries (sold separately) G Rechargeable batteries AA nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries AA nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries
Notes The cradle is not a battery charger. To recharge batteries, use a proper battery charger (sold separately). The cradle does not support any type of dry cell batteries.

Inserting batteries

Open the lid of the battery case on the bottom of the cradle.
Insert eight batteries into the battery case.
Notes Be sure to look at the indications inside the battery case for the proper positioning of the batteries. Be sure to use similar batteries (i.e. do not use rechargeable and dry cells batteries together). Because the batteries may leak, remove the batteries from the cradle and store them if you do not intend to use the cradle on battery power for an extended period of time. When you replace the batteries, be sure to replace the eight batteries. Mixing new and old batteries may cause them to leak.

Battery life

The following is the approximate playback life and number of discs that can be written using the drive under battery power. Playback battery life

Listening to a playlist

If a playlist exists on the disc or Memory Stick that you are using, you can use it with the drive to listen to the music files according to their order in the playlist.
To be able to use this function, you need to save a playlist (extension: m3u) to disc or Memory Stick before you insert them into the drive. For details, see Playlist files (page 53).

Notes During folder playback, the track number and remaining tracks in the folder are displayed. Only alphanumeric characters can be displayed. When a disc contains text information incompatible with this drive or no text information, the information may be incorrectly displayed or not displayed at all. In the case of music CDs, the folder name is CDDA is displayed instead of the folder name. During playlist playback, the folder name is the playlist file name. During program playback, the folder name is PROGRAM.
Adjusting the tone (SOUND function)
You can adjust the playback tone according to the type of music you are listening to.
Press the SOUND button of the remote control or on the drive itself.

The drive can write to High Speed CDRW discs. Data written to High Speed CD-RW discs can be read by common CD-ROM drives.
Note CD-R/RW drives that do not display the High Speed CD-RW logo cannot be used to write to High Speed CD-RW discs. When writing or appending data to such discs with a CD-R/RW drive other than this one, be sure that the drive displays the High Speed CD-RW logo. Also, always set the writing speed to that specified for the particular High Speed CD-RW disc that you are using.

CD-R discs

Data can be written to this type of disc only once. Once it has been written, data cannot be deleted. However, if you use the track-at-once writing method, you can add data to the CD-R up to 99 times (this is dependant on the remaining space on the disc). Also, if you use the disc-at-once writing method, music CDs created on CD-R discs can be played back with most CD players.

Writing speed

When writing to CD-R and CD-RW discs, use the writing speed specified on the disc. You can change the writing speed through the writing software.

Reading discs

CD-R and CD-RW discs created with the drive can be read by most CD-ROM drives. However, some older CD-ROM drives may not be able to read CD-RW discs. Also, CD-R music discs created with the drive can be played back with most CD players, but playback is not guaranteed for all CD players or automobile CD players. Further, due to variations in disc quality and various characteristics specific to manufacturers, certain CD-ROM drives and CD players may on occasion be incapable of playing back certain CD-R and CD-RW discs.

CD-RW discs

Data can be repeatedly written to and deleted from this type of disc. Typically, a new CD-RW disc can be rewritten about 1,000 times. Further, if you use the Fixed packet writing method, you can write and delete files individually, making using a CD-RW as easy as using a floppy disc. However, music CDs created on CD-RW discs cannot be played back with most CD players unless they CD-RW compatible.

Recommended discs

We recommend using Sony recording media products with the CD-R/RW drive. CD-R: Sony 650 MB and 700 MB CD-R discs CD-RW: Sony 650 MB CD-RW discs
