Overview of DAB  
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new  
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces  
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio  
programs with a quality comparable to that of  
Component  
Component  
Component  
*
CDs .  
Each DAB multiplex radio station converts  
programs (services) into an ensemble, which it  
then broadcasts. Each service contains one or  
more components. All services and components  
are identified by name, so you can access any of  
them without having to know their frequencies.  
Furthermore, additional information (called  
program associated data) can be broadcast along  
with the services in the form of text.  
Notes  
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your  
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may  
be in test phase.  
• DAB programs are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240  
MHz) and/or L-Band (1452 to 1491 MHz), with each  
band divided into channels. Each of these channels  
has its own channel label. For details on the channel  
labels and frequencies that this tuner supports, see  
the Frequency Table on page 31.  
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:  
• This tuner does not support data services.  
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to  
spoil the sound  
*
– both music and data services from a single tuner  
(this tuner does not support data services)  
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from  
anywhere in the country  
– multiple programs (services) from a single  
frequency  
* Some service components may not match CD quality  
sound.

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. This unit supports up to  
10 sessions.  
Playable discs  
You can play back the following discs on this  
system. Other discs cannot be played back.  
List of playable discs  
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD  
data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks  
in session 2.

Mixed CD: This format records data on the first  
track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and  
subsequent tracks of a session.  
CD-R/CD-RW  
(audio data/MP3 files)  
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played  
on this system depending upon the recording  
quality or physical condition of the disc, or  
the characteristics of the recording device.  
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not  
been correctly finalized. For more  
information, see the operating instructions for  
the recording device.  
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may  
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,  
recording condition or the driver’s  
characteristics.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-  
session that have not ended by “closing the  
session” are not supported.  
• The system may be unable to play MP3  
format files that do not have the extension  
“.MP3”.  
Discs that this system cannot  
play  
• CD-ROMs  
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in  
the following formats:  
– music CD format  
– MP3 format that conforms to ISO96601)  
Level 1/Level 2, Joliet or Multi Session2)  
• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,  
card, heart).  
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.  
• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape,  
or a sticker still left on it.  
1)  
ISO9660 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  
eight characters in the name, no more than three  
characters in the extension “.MP3”) and in capital  
letters. Folder names can be no longer than eight  
characters. There can be no more than eight nested  
folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file  
names and folder names up to 31 characters long.  
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.  
• Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that  
have the extension “.MP3” may result in noise  
or malfunction.  
• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and  
2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
playback.  
– a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder  
names can have up to 16 characters) make sure of  
the contents of the writing software, etc.  
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.  
– a disc to which data can be added (non-  
finalized disc).

Music discs encoded with  
copyright protection  
technologies  
This product is designed to playback discs that  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with  
copyright protection technologies 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.  
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.

Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
What is the Radio Data  
System?  
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. This tuner offers convenient  
RDS features like station name. RDS is  
available only on FM stations.*  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they  
provide the same types of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your  
area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:  
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display  
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the  
station name may not appear in the display.

On the speaker system  
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and  
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically  
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV  
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.  
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the  
speaker system further away from the TV set.  
Additional Information  
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.  
On operation  
• 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. 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.  
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 mains lead, pull it out by the plug.  
Never pull the cord itself.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
Notes on discs  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
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  
• 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.  
– Dusty or dirty  
• 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.  
– 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
– 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.  
• 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.
