This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
ˋ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
ˋ Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
ˋ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
ˋ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated
in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for
the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)
is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it
deemed to comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it
should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s
body.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product will
increase eye hazard. As the laser beam used in this
CD/DVD player is harmful to eyes, do not attempt
to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.

About BLUETOOTH function
What is BLUETOOTH technology?
ˎ 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.
ˎ 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.

ˎ BLUETOOTH technology is an international
standard supported by millions of companies all
over the world, and employed by various
companies worldwide.
On BLUETOOTH communication
ˎ 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.
ˎ The following conditions may affect the sensitivity
of BLUETOOTH communication.
ˋ There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or
wall between this unit and BLUETOOTH device.
ˋ A device using 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a
wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or
microwave oven, is in use near this unit.
ˎ Because BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE802.11b/g/n/ac) 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.
ˋ Use this unit at least 10 m away from the
wireless LAN device.
ˋ If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN
device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
ˋ Install this unit and BLUETOOTH device as near
to each other as possible.
ˎ 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.
ˋ where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital,
train, airplane, or petrol station
ˋ near automatic doors or a fire alarm
ˎ 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.
ˎ We do not take any responsibility for the leakage
of information during BLUETOOTH
communication.
ˎ Connection with all BLUETOOTH devices cannot
be guaranteed.
ˋ A device featuring BLUETOOTH function is
required to conform to the BLUETOOTH
standard specified by BLUETOOTH SIG, and be
authenticated.
ˋ 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.
ˋ While talking on the phone handsfree, noise
may occur, depending on the device or
communication environment.
ˎ Depending on the device to be connected, it may
require some time to start communication.
Others
ˎ Using the BLUETOOTH device may not function on
cellular phones, depending on radio wave
conditions and location where the equipment is
being used.
ˎ 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
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 becomes shorter. Replace the
battery with a new CR2025 lithium battery. Use of
any other battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
+ side up
Notes on the lithium battery
ˎ Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children.
Should the battery be swallowed, immediately
consult a doctor.
ˎ Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good
contact.
ˎ Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing
the battery.
ˎ Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers,
otherwise a short-circuit may occur.
ˎ Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as
direct sunlight, fire or the like.
WARNING
Battery may explode if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in
fire.
