– Increase the separation between the equipment 
and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a 
circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 
technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this

Consult with the manufacturer of your car to ensure 
that the use of your cellular phone in the car will not 
affect its electronic system.
Check regularly that all wireless device equipment 
in your car is mounted and operating properly.
Emergency calls
This Bluetooth car handsfree and the electronic 
device connected to the handsfree operate using 
radio signals, cellular, and landline networks as well 
as user-programmed function, which cannot 
guarantee connection under all conditions.
Therefore do not rely solely upon any electronic 
device for essential communications (such as 
medical emergencies).
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the 
handsfree and the electronic device connected to the 
handsfree must be switched on in a service area with 
adequate cellular signal strength.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular 
phone networks or when certain network services 
and/or phone features are in use.
Check with your local service provider.

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 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.

About Bluetooth function
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 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.
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.
