Information
Precautions
• If your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car, allow the unit to
cool off before operating it.
• If no power is being supplied to the unit,
check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of
2-speaker systems, set the fader control to the
centre position.
• If your car is equipped with a power aerial, it
will extend automatically while the unit is
operating.
• Connecting this unit may cause some car
battery wear when your car has no ACC
(accessory) position on the ignition key
switch.
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 may condense on the lenses inside
the MD player. Should this occur, the unit will
not operate properly. In this case, remove the
disc and wait for about an hour until the
moisture has evaporated.
Maintenance
Fuse replacement
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
matching the amperage rating stated on the
original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the
power connection and replace the fuse. If the
fuse blows again after replacement, there may
be an internal malfunction. In such a case,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Warning
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as
this could damage the unit.
Cleaning the connectors
The unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and the front
panel are not clean. In order to prevent this,
open the front panel by pressing (OPEN), then
detach it and clean the connectors with a
cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Do not apply
too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may
be damaged.

Notes
• For safety, turn off the engine before cleaning
the connectors, and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
• Never touch the connectors directly with your
fingers or any metal device.
