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.
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.
• 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.

7
• 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.
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)/CD-
RWs (rewritable CDs)
This unit can play the following 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/CD-RW that is not
finalized*.
• You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-
ROMs, 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.
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.
Notes on discs
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.
*1 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.
*2 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.

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 track is played back.
Any data in subsequent session 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:
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.)

RDS
Overview of RDS
FM stations with Radio Data System (RDS)
service send inaudible digital information along
with the regular radio programme signal. For
example, one of the following will be displayed
upon receiving a station with RDS capability.
RDS services
RDS data offers you other conveniences, such as:
•Automatic retuning of a programme, helpful
during long-distance drives. — AF t page 17
• Receiving traffic announcements, even
when enjoying another programme/source.
— TA t page 18
• Selecting stations by the type of
programme. — PTY t page 19
• Automatic clock time setting.
— CT t page 20
Notes
•Depending on the country/region, not all of the RDS
functions are available.
•RDS will not work properly if the signal strength too
is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.
Automatic retuning for best
reception results
— AF (Alternative Frequencies)
The AF function allows the radio to always tune
into the area’s strongest signal for the station you
are listening to.
1Select an FM station (page 15).
2Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF-
ON” appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
frequency with a stronger signal in the same
network.
If “NO AF” flashes, the currently tuned
station does not have an alternative frequency.
To cancel the AF function, select “AF, TA-OFF.”
Tips
•If “AF-ON” is selected, traffic announcements are
cancelled. To activate the traffic announcements
with the AF function, select “AF, TA-ON.”
•If you want to change the on/off setting while playing
a CD, press (AF/TA).

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.
Staying with one regional programme
When the AF function is on: this unit’s factory
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so
you won’t be switched to another regional station
with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional programme’s reception
area or would like to take advantage of the whole
AF function, press (SEL) and (AF/TA)
simultaneously until “REG-OFF” appears.
Note

Receiving traffic
announcements
— TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Programme)
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/MD; the unit switches back to the original
source when the bulletin is over.
Press (AF/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 “AF,
TA-OFF.”
