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.  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you have  
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 all 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.

Additional Information  
Important  
If you connect an external antenna, connect the

Precautions  
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.  
On safety  
• The glass over the display window on the cover is  
made of tempered glass.  
Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is  
more shock resistant and able to bear more weight  
than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may  
shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is  
scratched.  
• The system is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to  
be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the 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.  
• The AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
• When you connect the AC power cord to the wall  
outlet (mains), even though the power is off, the  
system begins charging for remote and timer  
functions. Therefore the surface of this unit  
becomes warm, this is normal.  
On placement  
• Make sure the system fan is on during use. Place the  
system in a location with adequate air circulation,  
and do not place anything on the system.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build up.  
• 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.  
On installing  
When you move the system, remove the CD.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any problem using this system, use the  
following checklist.  
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 CD and leave the system turned  
on for about 2 hours until the moisture evaporates.  
First, check that the AC power cord is connected  
firmly and that the speakers are connected  
correctly and firmly.  
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest  
Sony dealer.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
General  
On the speaker system  
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can  
be used near TV sets. However, the picture on certain  
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. Also,  
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are  
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks,  
TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic  
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with  
the system.  
There is no sound.  
• Press VOL +.  
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.  
• Check the speaker connections.  
There is severe hum or noise.  
• A TV or VCR is placed too close to the  
system. Move the system away from the TV  
or VCR.  
“0:00” (or “0:00AM”) flashes in the  
display.  
• A power failure occurred. Set the clock and  
timer settings again.  
Notes on CDs  
• Do not use a CD with tape, stickers, or paste on it as  
this may damage the player.  
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use  
solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially  
available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for  
vinyl LPs.  
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car  
parked in direct sunlight.  
The timer does not function.  
• Set the clock correctly.  
The remote does not function.  
• There is an obstacle between the remote and  
the system.  
• The remote is not pointing in the direction of  
the system’s sensor.  
• The batteries have run down. Replace the  
batteries.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it  
is near an electric inverter system.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
