Additional Information  
This product is designed to play back  
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.  
Playable discs  
• AUDIO CD  
• CD-R/CD-RW

Notes  
• MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard  
format defined by ISO (International  
Organization for Standardization) which  
compresses audio data. MP3 files must be in  
MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 format.  
Notes on playing multisession discs  
• This system can play back multisession  
discs when an MP3 file is contained in  
the first session. Any subsequent MP3  
files recorded in later sessions can also  
be played back (If later sessions contain  
AUDIO CD format, the system cannot  
play back this multisession discs).  
• If the first session is recorded in AUDIO  
CD format, only the first session will be  
played back.  
• The system can only play back MP3 files that  
have a file extension of “.mp3”.  
Discs that cannot be played back  
• CD-ROM  
• CD-R/CD-RW which has the following  
conditions:  
– Recorded in MP3 PRO format  
– Recorded in multisession that was not  
ended by “closing the session”  
– Recorded with an incompatible  
recording device  
– Poor recording quality  
– Scratched or dirty  
– Finalized incorrectly

• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning  
cloth from the center outward 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.  
PARTY HOST  
The system becomes a Party Host when  
Party Chain function is activated.  
PROTECTED  
The USB device is write-protected.  
PUSH STOP  
You tried to perform an operation that can  
be performed only when the playback is  
stopped.  
On safety  
• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (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.  
READING  
The system is reading information of the  
disc or USB device. Some operations are  
not available.  
REC ERROR  
The transfer did not start, stopped  
partway, or otherwise could not be  
performed.  
• (USA and Canadian models only)  
One blade of the plug is wider than other for  
the purpose of safety and will fit to the wall  
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert  
the plug fully into the outlet, contact your  
dealer.  
STEP FULL  
You tried to program more than 25 steps.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
TRACK FULL  
You cannot transfer onto the USB device  
because the number of file has reached its  
maximum.

Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN  
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency  
band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth  
device near a device with wireless LAN  
capability, electromagnetic interference may  
occur. This could result in lower data transfer  
rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this  
happens, try the following remedies:  
– Try connecting this system and Bluetooth  
device when you are at least 10 meters  
(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN  
equipment.  
– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN  
equipment when using your Bluetooth  
device within 10 meters (33 feet).  
• The radio waves broadcast by this system may  
interfere with the operation of some medical  
devices. Since this interference may result in  
malfunction, always turn off the power on this  
system and Bluetooth device in the following  
locations:  
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, 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 unit, 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 a 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.  
– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas  
stations, and any place where flammable  
gases may be present  
• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.  
– Near automatic doors or fire alarms  
• This system supports security functions that  
comply with the Bluetooth specification as a  
means of ensuring security during  
communication using Bluetooth technology.  
However, this security may be insufficient  
depending on the setting contents and other  
factors, so always be careful when performing  
communication using Bluetooth technology.  
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for  
damages or other loss resulting from  
information leaks during communication  
using Bluetooth technology.  
Bluetooth communication is not necessarily  
guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that  
have the same profile as this system.  
Bluetooth devices connected with this system  
must comply with the Bluetooth specification  
prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and  
must be certified to comply. However, even  
when a device complies with the Bluetooth  
specification, there may be cases where the  
characteristics or specifications of the  
Bluetooth device make it impossible to  
connect, or may result in different control  
methods, display or operation.  
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.  
On Bluetooth Communication  
Bluetooth devices should be used within  
approximately 10 meters (33 feet)  
(unobstructed distance) of each other. The  
effective communication range may become  
shorter under the following conditions.  
– When a person, metal object, wall or other  
obstruction is between the devices with a  
Bluetooth connection  
– Locations where a wireless LAN is installed  
– Around microwave ovens that are in use  
– Locations where other electromagnetic  
waves occur  
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off  
depending on the Bluetooth device connected  
with this system, the communications  
environment, or surrounding conditions.
