Additional Information
Precautions
• Cool off the unit beforehand if your car has been
parked in direct sunlight.
• Power antenna (aerial) extends automatically.
Moisture condensation
Should moisture condensation occur inside the unit,
remove the disc and wait for about an hour for it to
dry out; otherwise the unit will not operate properly.
To maintain high sound quality
Do not splash liquid onto the unit or discs.
Notes on LCD panel
•Do not wet the LCD panel or expose it to
liquids. This may cause a malfunction.
• Do not press on the LCD panel as doing so can
distort the picture or cause a malfunction (i.e., the
picture may become unclear, or the LCD panel
may be damaged).
• Do not touch other than with the finger, as it may
damage or break the LCD panel.
• Clean the LCD panel with a dry soft cloth. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
spray.
• Do not use this unit outside the temperature range
5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).
• If your car was parked in a cold or hot place, the
picture may not be clear. However, the monitor is
not damaged, and the picture will become clear
after the temperature in your car becomes normal.
• Some stationary blue, red or green dots may
appear on the monitor. These are called “bright
spots,” and can happen with any LCD. The LCD
panel is precision-manufactured with more than
99.99% of its segments functional. However, it is
possible that a small percentage (typically 0.01%)
of the segments may not light up properly. This
will not, however, interfere with your viewing.
Notes on discs
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
• Before playing, wipe the discs
with a cleaning cloth from the
center out. Do not use solvents
such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available
cleaners.
• This unit is designed to play
discs that conform to the
Compact Disc (CD) standard.
DualDiscs and some of the music discs encoded
with copyright protection technologies do not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
therefore, these discs may not be playable by this
unit.
•Discs that this unit CANNOT play
– Discs with labels, stickers, or sticky tape or
paper attached. Doing so may cause a
malfunction, or may ruin the disc.
– Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,
square, star). Attempting to do so may damage
the unit.
–8 cm (3 1/4 in) discs.
Note on playback operations of DVDs
and VCDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VCDs may
be intentionally set by software producers. Since
this unit plays DVDs and VCDs according to the
disc contents the software producers designed, some
playback features may not be available. Also, refer
to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or
VCDs.
Notes on DATA CDs and DATA DVDs
• Some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs (depending on the
equipment used for its recording, or the disc
condition) may not play on this unit.
• Finalization is required for some discs (page 61).
• The unit is compatible with the following
standards.
For DATA CDs
– ISO 9660 level 1/level 2 format, Joliet/Romeo in
the expansion format
– Multi Session
For DATA DVDs
– UDF Bridge format (combined UDF and ISO
9660)
–Multi Border
• The maximum number of:
– folders (albums): 256 (including root and empty
folders).

• Apple is not responsible for the operation of this
device or its compliance with safety and
regulatory standards.
About Bluetooth function
The following applies only to XAV-62BT.
What is Bluetooth technology?
• Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range
wireless technology that enables wireless data
communication between digital devices, such as a
cellular phone and a headset. Bluetooth wireless
technology operates within a range of about 10 m
(about 33 feet). Connecting two devices is
common, but some devices can be connected to
multiple devices at the same time.
• You do not need to use a cable for connection
since Bluetooth technology is a wireless
technology, neither is it necessary for the devices
to face one another, such is the case with infrared
technology. For example, you can use such a
device in a bag or pocket.
• Bluetooth technology is an international standard
supported by millions of companies all over the
world, and employed by various companies
worldwide.
On Bluetooth communication
• Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a
range of about 10 m.
Maximum communication range may vary
depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.)
or electromagnetic environment.
• The following conditions may affect the
sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.
– There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or
wall between this unit and Bluetooth device.
– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a
wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or
microwave oven, is in use near this unit.
• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency,
microwave interference may occur and result in
communication speed deterioration, noise, or
invalid connection if this unit is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such as case, perform the
following.
– Use this unit at least 10 m away from the
wireless LAN device.
– If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless
LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to
each other as possible.
• Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may
affect the operation of electronic medical devices.
Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in
the following locations, as it may cause an
accident.
– where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or petrol station
– near automatic doors or a fire alarm
• This unit supports security capabilities that
comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a
secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless
technology is used, but security may not be
enough depending on the setting. Be careful when
communicating using Bluetooth wireless
technology.

• We do not take any responsibility for the leakage
of information during Bluetooth communication.
• Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be
guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth function is
required to conform to the Bluetooth standard
specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be
authenticated.
– Even if the connected device conforms to the
above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some
devices may not be connected or work correctly,
depending on the features or specifications of the
device.
– While talking on the phone handsfree, noise may
occur, depending on the device or
communication environment.
• Depending on the device to be connected, it may
require some time to start communication.
Others
• Using the Bluetooth device may not function on
cellular phones, depending on radio wave
conditions and location where the equipment is
being used.
• If you experience discomfort after using the
Bluetooth device, stop using the Bluetooth device
immediately. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your unit that are not covered in these Operating
Instructions, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Maintenance
Replacing the lithium battery of the
remote commander (not supplied)
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
remote commander (not supplied) becomes shorter.
Replace the battery with a new CR2025 lithium
battery. Use of any other battery may present a risk
of fire or explosion.
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.
