Additional Information Precautions

• If your car has been parked in direct sunlight, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Power aerial will extend automatically while the unit is operating. Moisture condensation On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture condensation may occur inside the lenses and display of the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In such a case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture has evaporated. To maintain high sound quality Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the unit or discs. Notes on discs

• To keep a disc clean, do not touch its surface. Handle the disc by its edge.

• Keep your discs in their cases or disc magazines when not in use.

• Do not subject discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid leaving them in a parked car or on a dashboard/rear tray.

• Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning when used, causing a malfunction, or may ruin the disc.

• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following malfunctions may result from using such discs: –Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker peeling off and jamming the eject mechanism). –Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g., playback skipping, or no playback) due to heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing a disc to warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm (3

/4 in) CDs.To increaseTo decrease continue to next page t12

• Before playing, clean the discs with a commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analogue discs. Notes on CD-R/CD-RW discs

• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs (depending on the equipment used for its recording or the condition of the disc) may not play on this unit.

• You cannot play a CD-R/a CD-RW that is not finalized. Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies 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. About MP3 files MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, is a music file compression format standard. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size.

• The unit is compatible with the ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in the expansion format, ID3 tag version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and Multi Session.

• The maximum number of: – folders (groups): 150 (including root and empty folders). –MP3 files (tracks) and folders contained in a disc: 300 (if a folder/file names contain many characters, this number may become less than 300). – displayable characters for a folder/file name is 32 (Joliet), or 32/64 (Romeo); ID3 tag is 15/30 characters (1.0, 1.1, 2.2 and 2.3), or 63/ 126 characters (2.4). Playback order of MP3 files Notes

• Be sure to finalize the disc before using on the unit.

• When naming an MP3 file, be sure to add the file expansion “.mp3” to the file name.

• If you play a high-bit-rate MP3, such as 320 kbps, sound may be intermittent.

• During playback of a VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 file or fast-forward/reverse, elapsed playing time may not display accurately.

• When the disc is recorded in Multi Session, only the first track of the first session format is recognized and played (any other format is skipped). The priority of the format is CD-DA, ATRAC CD and MP3. – When the first track is a CD-DA, only CD-DA of the first session is played. – When the first track is not a CD-DA, an ATRAC CD or MP3 session is played. If the disc has no data in any of these formats, “NO MUSIC” is displayed. About ATRAC CD ATRAC3plus format ATRAC3, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3, is audio compression technology. It compresses audio CD data to approximately 1/10 of its original size. ATRAC3plus, which is an extended format of ATRAC3, compresses the audio CD data to approximately 1/20 of its original size. The unit accepts both ATRAC3 and ATRAC3plus format. ATRAC CD ATRAC CD is recorded audio CD data which is compressed to ATRAC3 or ATRAC3plus format using authorized software, such as SonicStage

2.0 or later, or SonicStage Simple Burner.

• The maximum number of: – folders (groups): 255 – files (tracks): 999

• The characters for a folder/file name and text information written by SonicStage is displayed. For details on ATRAC CD, see the SonicStage or SonicStage Simple Burner manual. Folder (group) MP3 file (track) MP313 Note Be sure to create the ATRAC CD using authorized software, such as SonicStage 2.0 or later, or SonicStage Simple Burner 1.0 or 1.1, which are supplied with Sony Network products. If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Maintenance Replacing the lithium battery of the card remote commander Under normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the card remote commander becomes shorter. Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. RM-X151 (CDX-S2210S only) RM-X114 Notes on the lithium battery• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur. Fuse replacement When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one matching the amperage rating stated on the original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Cleaning the connectors The unit may not function properly if the connectors between the unit and the front panel are not clean. In order to prevent this, detach the front panel (page 4) and clean the connectors with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may be damaged. Notes• For safety, turn off the ignition before cleaning the connectors, and remove the key from the ignition switch.• Never touch the connectors directly with your fingers or with any metal device.
