Frequently Asked Questions - D-EJ985 SONY

Why does the volume not increase even when pressing VOL+?

Check that the AVLS switch is not set to LIMIT: set it to NORM. Also check that the earphones are connected to the headphone jack, not the Line Out.

What does the 'Lobatt' or '000' display mean?

The batteries or rechargeable batteries are depleted. Replace the batteries with new LR6 alkaline batteries, or recharge the rechargeable batteries with the charging cradle.

The player shows no disc: what to do?

Check that the disc is inserted correctly (label side up). If the NoDisc message persists, clean the disc, close the battery compartment lid properly, or unlock the HOLD function. An unfinalized CD-R can also cause this error.

Playback always resumes at the same point, how to play from the beginning?

The resume function is active. To play from the first track, press and hold the jog dial while stopped until the first track starts, or open the player lid.

How to avoid skipping during movement?

Use the G-PROTECTION switch: position 1 for standard protection, position 2 for enhanced protection. Skipping can be reduced but not completely eliminated.

The rechargeable batteries do not charge, why?

Make sure the player is properly placed on the charging cradle (the ▼ and ▲ marks must align) and that the CHARGE lamp lights up. Clean the cradle contacts with a dry cloth. Do not charge during playback.

Can I use rechargeable batteries other than NH-14WM?

Only NH-14WM (2.4 V) rechargeable batteries are recommended for charging via the cradle. Using other types may damage the unit.

How to display CD-TEXT information?

Press the DISPLAY button during playback. Information (disc name, artist, track titles) appears if the CD contains CD-TEXT data.

Sound is distorted or noises are heard, what to check?

Check that the plugs are fully inserted and clean. Clean the headphone and Line Out jacks with a dry cloth. Avoid sources of electromagnetic interference.

The LCD display is hard to read, what to do?

The LCD may slow down or darken at extreme temperatures (above 40 °C or below 0 °C). Place the player at room temperature for normal operation.
