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.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session
If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an MP3 session is encountered. If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered. The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc. A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. When you move the system, take out any disc. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Precautions

On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. The voltage selector is located at the rear of the apparatus.

On safety

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

Notes on discs

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. 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. Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring. This may cause a malfunction to the system. When using discs that have glue or similar tacky substance on the label side of the disc or that used a special ink when the label was printed, there is a chance that the disc or label may become attached to parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label side of the disc is not sticky before using. The following types of disc should not be used: Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the seal on the disc is tacky. Discs that have labels printed using a special ink that feels tacky when touched. 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.

On placement

Do not place the system in an inclined position. Do not place the system in locations where it is; Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Subject to vibrations Subject to direct sunlight. Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On heat buildup

Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. If you continuously use this system at a high volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet. To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzine or alcohol.
