The system cannot play the following discs:
- CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in the formats listed on page 6
• CD-ROM recorded in PHOTO CD format
• Data part of CD-Extra - CD Graphics disc

• A disc with paper or stickers on it
- A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape or a sticker stuck on it
Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW
In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device.
Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.
Notes about Multi Session CD
- This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played.
- This system can play a Multi Session CD when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played.
- If MP3 files and JPEG image files in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played.
Region code
Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play a DVD labeled with the same region code.
A DVD VIDEO labeled 📂 will also play on this system.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Notes about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD
Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions of the DVD or VIDEO CD.
Notes about playable files
- The system can recognize up to 200 folders, including albums (folders) that do not contain audio files, JPEG image files, or video files.

- The system can play the following files.
| File Extension of the file |
| MP3 file “.mp3” |
| WMA file* “.wma” |
| AAC file* “.m4a” |
| JPEG image file “.jpg” or “.jpeg” |
| DivX video file** “.avi” or “.divx” |
| MPEG4 video file “.mp4” or “.m4v” |
The system will attempt to play any data with the extensions above, even if it is not in MP3/WMA/AAC/JPEG/DivX**/MPEG4 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
- The following can increase the time it takes to start playback:
- when a DATA CD/DATA DVD/USB device is recorded with a complicated tree structure.
-
when the audio files, JPEG image files, or video files in another folder have just been played.
-
Some files on DATA CDs/DATA DVDs/USB devices cannot be played by the system depending on the file format.
- The system can play to a depth of 8 folders only.
- The system may not be able to play an audio file, JPEG image file, or video file depending on the file type.
- Files recorded by a device such as a computer may not be played in the order in which they were recorded.
- Folders that have no audio files, JPEG image files, or video files are skipped.
- Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/AAC encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.
- Compatibility with all MPEG4 video encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.
- The playback order may not be applicable depending on the software used for creating the audio file, JPEG image file, or video file, or if there are more than 200 folders or 150 files in each folder.
* USB device only.
** Except for United Kingdom and North American models.

Additional Information
Precautions
On power sources
- Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.
On placement
- Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
- At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the system in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
- Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked, the system can overheat and malfunction.
- Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
- Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
- Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
- Keep the system and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
- Do not place heavy objects on the system.
On operation
- 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 lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
- If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On adjusting volume
- Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.
On cleaning
- Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
- Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.
On your TV's color
- If the speakers should cause your TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from your TV set.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely.
