Suppressing the skip of the sound (G-PROTECTION)

The G-PROTECTION function was developed to provide a higher level of shock resistance than that of existing players in order to allow the player to be used while jogging.

Note The playback sound may skip if: • the player receives stronger continuous shock. • a dirty or scratched MiniDisc is played.

• The MZ-E310 supports the newly developed DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC. It thus allows you to enjoy TYPE-R high-quality sound from MDs recorded in SP stereo on TYPE-R-equipped MD decks, etc. • The player can play the track recorded by 2 × or 4 × long playing mode (LP2 or LP4). Normal stereo playback, LP2 stereo playback, LP4 stereo playback or monaural playback is automatically selected to match the audio source. • The display will turn off shortly after you press x.

Additional information

On safety • Do not carry or store the dry battery in the same place with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. This may cause a short-circuit and the generation of heat. • Incorrect battery usage may cause the battery fluid to leak or battery to burst. To prevent such accidents, make sure the battery is installed with the + and – poles oriented correctly. • If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away the battery fluid in the battery compartment before inserting a new battery. • If you will not use the player for a long time, be sure to remove the dry battery.

Never use the player where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration.

On the MiniDisc cartridge

• Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the shutter open may damage the internal disc. • When transporting a MiniDisc, keep it in its case. • Do not place the cartridge where it will be subjected to light, temperature, moisture or dust. • Do not affix the label outside of the specified area on the MD. Make sure the label is placed within the recessed space on the disc.

On the headphones/earphones

• Do not drop or bump the player. This may cause the player to malfunction. • Do not pull headphones/earphones cords. • Do not place the player in the following places: —An extremely hot place (over 60°C (140°F)) —A place exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater —In a car with the windows rolled up (especially in the summer) —In a damp place such as a bathroom —Near a source of electromagnetic fields such as a magnet, speaker, or TV —In a dusty place

Heat may build up in the player if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

• Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. This may lead to a traffic accident and is illegal in many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your player at high volumes while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue using the player in potentially hazardous situations.

• If you experience an allergic reaction to the supplied headphones/earphones, stop using them at once and consult a doctor or a Sony service center.

Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volumes. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

The player emits mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the player. This is not a malfunction.

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of the people around you.

• After wiping the player casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, wipe it again with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as this may mar the finish on the casing. • Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt. • Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD. • To maintain good sound quality, use a soft cloth to clean the plugs of the headphones/ earphones. A dirty plug may cause noise or intermittent breaks in the sound during playback. • Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.
