Create your own ATRAC CDs
In addition to the usual audio CDs, you can play an original CD, called “ATRAC CD,” that you create with the supplied software, SonicStage. Using SonicStage, about 30 audio CDs* can be recorded on one CD-R or CD-RW. The following is a quick overview of how you listen to music on your ATRAC
CD.
Install SonicStage on your computer.
SonicStage is software that takes music downloaded from audio CDs on your computer and creates original CDs. It can be installed from the supplied CD-ROM.
Create an ATRAC CD.
After selecting your favorite songs from music stored on your computer, record them on a CD-R/
CD-RW using SonicStage.

Discs that this system cannot play
• CD-ROMs
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the following formats:
– music CD format
– ATRAC3plus format and MP3 format that conform to ISO9660 1) Level 1/Level 2,
Joliet or Multi Session 2)
• 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.
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.
• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.
• An 8 cm disc with an adaptor
1)
ISO9660 Format
The most common international standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM.
There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (no more than eight characters in the name, no more than three characters in the extension) and in capital letters.
Folder names can be no longer than eight characters.
There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 characters long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees.
For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder names can have up to 64 characters) make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.
2)
Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method.
Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A
Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.
Mixed CD: This format records data on the first track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and subsequent tracks of a session.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device.
Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the driver’s characteristics.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.
• With formats other than ISO9660 Level 1 and
2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.
• The following discs take a longer time to start playback.
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (nonfinalized disc).
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback 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 ATRAC CDs and
MP3 CDs
The structure of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs consist of “files” and “groups.” A “file” is equivalent to a “track” of an audio CD. A “group” is a bundle of files and is equivalent to an “album.” For MP3 CDs, this system recognizes an MP3 folder as a
“group” so that ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs can be operated in the same way.
Playing order of ATRAC CDs and MP3 CDs
For ATRAC CDs, files are played in the order selected in SonicStage. For MP3 CDs, the playing order may differ depending on the method used to record MP3 files on the disc. In the following example, files are played in order of 1 to 7.
Group
File
MP3 CD
(Maximum directory level: 8) continued
7
GB
8
GB
The usable number of groups and files
ATRAC CDs:
• Maximum number of groups: 255
• Maximum number of files: 999
MP3 CDs:
• Maximum number of groups: 256
• Maximum number of files: 511
(The maximum number of MP3 files and groups that can be contained on a single disc is 512.)
Notes
• The system may be unable to play MP3 files that do not have the “.MP3” extension.
• Attempting to play non-MP3 files that have the
“.MP3” extension may result in noise or malfunction.
• If ATRAC3plus files and MP3 files are recorded on the same disc, this system plays the ATRAC3plus files first.
• On a disc that has ATRAC3plus and MP3 files, do not save files in other formats and do not make unnecessary folders.
• To compress a source in an MP3 file, we recommend setting the compression parameters to “44.1 kHz,”
“128 kbps,” and “Constant Bit Rate.”
• To record up to the maximum capacity, set the writing software to “halting of writing.”
• To record to the maximum capacity at one time up on media that has nothing recorded on it, set the writing software to “Disc at Once.”
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi
Session
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and
ATRAC3plus/MP3 sessions are not played back.
• If the disc begins with an ATRAC3plus/MP3 session, it is recognized as an ATRAC CD/
MP3 CD, and CD-DA (audio) sessions are not played back.
• The playback range of an MP3 CD is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.
• A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.

Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(European model only)
What is the Radio Data
System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. RDS is available only on FM stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name appears in the display.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display changes cyclically as follows:
Station name 1) t Preset number 2) and frequency t Clock display (for eight seconds) t Bass level (for eight seconds) t Treble level (for eight seconds)

Additional Information
Precautions
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On heat buildup
• Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and the picture on TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the speaker system further away from the TV set.
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any disc.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.
This may cause a malfunction to the system.
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky substance on the label side of the disc or that used a special ink when the label was printed, there is a chance that the disc or label may become attached to parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label side of the disc is not sticky before using.
The following types of disc should not be used:
– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the seal on the disc is tacky.
– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink that feels tacky when touched.
• 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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzine or alcohol.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated.
Break off the cassette tab
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Before placing a cassette in the tape deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.
When using a tape longer than
90 minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape.
Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.
