Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The clock does not show the correct time.  
If your appliance can be mounted to a wall or ceiling, mount it only as recommended by Sony.  
Has an electrical power outage lasting more than  
one minute occurred?  
USE  
The CD player does not operate.  
Power Source  
Did you close the disc tray?  
This appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.  
If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local  
power company. For those appliances designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer  
to the operating instructions.  
Did you place the disc correctly?  
The disc should be placed with the labeled side up.  
Dusty or defective disc—Clean the disc with an  
optional cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the  
center out.  
Take out the CD and leave the CD compartment  
open for about an hour to get rid of moisture  
condensation.  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to  
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous  
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that  
may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute  
a risk of electric shock to persons.  
Grounding or Polarization  
This appliance is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow  
the instructions below:  
-For the appliance with a polarized AC power cord plug:  
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact  
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized  
plug by forcing it in.  
-For the appliance with a three-wire grounding type AC plug:  
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat  
the safety purpose of the grounding plug.  
Sporadic loss of sound in CD operation.  
This symbol is intended to alert the user to  
the presence of important operating and  
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the  
literature accompanying the appliance.  
Dusty or defective disc—Clean or replace the disc.

INFORMATION  
Overloading  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to  
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This  
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful  
interference to radio communications. However, there  
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this equipment does cause  
harmful interference to radio or television reception,  
which can be determined by turning the equipment off  
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the  
interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since  
this can result in fire or electric shock.  
SPECIFICATIONS  
When not in use  
Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.  
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by the cord.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and  
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect  
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an  
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
CAUTION  
The use of optical instruments with this  
product will increase eye hazard.
