the DC IN 6 V jack.  
• Operate the unit only on 6 V DC. For battery

About CD-Rs/CD-RWs  
This unit is compatible with CD-Rs/CD-RWs but  
playback capability may vary depending on the  
quality of the disc, the recording device and  
application software.  
Using the AC power  
adaptor  
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC  
power source (mains) as long as it is connected  
to a wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been  
turned off.  
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage,  
etc. is located on the bottom exterior.  
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes,  
direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or  
mechanical shock. Never leave in a car parked  
under the sun.  
• In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may  
be difficult or subject to interference. Try  
listening near a window.  
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker,  
keep away personal credit cards using  
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches  
from the unit to prevent possible damage from  
the magnet.  
* Supplied with European model only  
• When operating the unit with an external  
power source, do not remove the batteries.  
These batteries serve to backup the clock and  
memory settings. Since the batteries discharge  
in this case as well, we recommend changing  
them about once a year.

will be overwritten by the new one.  
FM wire antenna  
Using the FM wire

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.  
• To prevent battery leakage, we recommend  
removing the batteries when the unit is  
connected to a wall outlet.  
• Before connecting and disconnecting the  
external power source plug, be sure to turn off  
the radio/CD. Otherwise, “E” may be  
displayed. When this occurs, turn on the  
radio/CD so that “E” disappears.  
• When the AC power adaptor is not to be used  
for a long period of time, unplug it both from  
the DC IN 6 V jack and from the wall outlet.  
• When the cover of the DC IN 6 V jack is open  
(to use the AC power adaptor), the jack area is  
not splash-resistant. When the AC power  
adaptor is not connected to the DC IN 6 V jack,  
be sure to close the cover of the DC IN 6 V jack.  
• Use the recommended Sony AC power  
adaptor* only. The polarity of the plugs of  
other manufacturers may be different. Failure  
to use the recommended AC power adaptor  
may cause the unit to malfunction.
