This label is located on the bottom of the

chassis (CDX-C8000RX/C8000R only).

CAUTION INVISIBLE

DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM OR

VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS

LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN

This label is located on the drive unit’s internal

chassis (CDX-C8000RX/C8000R only).

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

• If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

• If no sound comes from the speakers of the

two-speaker system, set the fader control to

the centre position.

•If your car is equipped with a power aerial, it

will extend automatically while the unit is

operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the CD/MD player. Should this occur, the unit

will not operate properly. In this case, remove

the disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the unit and CD/MD.

Sugary residues on the unit or CD/MD may

contaminate the lenses inside the unit, reduce

the sound quality, or prevent sound

reproduction altogether.

Notes on CDs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound

dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum

sound, handle the disc as follows.

Handle the disc by its edge. To keep the disc

clean, do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the labelled

surface.

If you use the discs explained below, the sticky

residue can cause the CD to stop spinning and

may cause malfunction or ruin your discs.

Do not use second-hand or rental CDs that

have a sticky residue on the surface (for

example from peeled-off stickers or from ink,

or glue leaking from under the stickers).

There are paste residue

Ink is sticky

Do not use rental CDs with old labels that are

beginning to peel off.

Stickers that are beginning

to peel away, leaving a

sticky residue

Do not use your CDs with labels or stickers

attached.

Labels are attached

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave

them in a car parked in direct sunlight where

there can be a considerable rise in the

temperature inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional

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 analog discos.

Notes on CD-R discs

•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs) on this

unit. However depending on the conditions

of the recording equipment or the CD-R disc

itself, some CD-Rs cannot be played on this

unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R that is not finalized

(Finalization is necessary for a recorded CD-

R disc to be played on the audio CD player).

•You cannot play CD-RWs (rewritable CDs)

on this player.

When you play 8 cm CDs

Use the optional Sony compact disc single

adaptor (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from

damage.

Notes on attaching labels

Be sure to attach labels on cartridges correctly,

as failing to do so may cause the MD to

become stuck in the unit.

•Attach the label in a suitable position.

•Remove old labels before putting new ones

on.

•Replace labels that are beginning to peel

away from the MD.

Cleaning

Wipe the surface of the MD cartridge from

time to time with a soft dry cloth.

Notes on MDs

Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge,

free from accidental contact with your fingers

and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree

of the rough handling. However, dirt or dust

on the surface of the cartridge or a warped

cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe

the following for best results.

Never touch the surface of the disc itself by

deliberately opening the shutter on the

cartridge.

When you eject the MD, the shutter may be

open. In such a case, close the shutter

immediately.

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave

it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there

can be a considerable rise in temperature.

Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard

or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature

can also be excessive.

RDS

Overview of the RDS

function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows FM stations to send

additional digital information along with the

regular radio programme signal. Your car

stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are

just a few: returning the same programme

automatically, listening to traffic

announcements, and locating a station by

programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of

the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength

is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station

name

The name of the current station lights up in the

display.

Select an FM station (page 18).

When you tune in an FM station that

transmits RDS data, the station name

appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is

being received.
