Troubleshooting

General

The power does not come on.
• Make sure the batteries are

inserted correctly.

• Replace all the batteries with new

ones if they are weak.

• You cannot turn on the player

with the remote when you operate
the player on batteries (CFD-S36
only).

The power is not on, and
"bAttErY" and "Error" are
displayed alternately.
• Make sure the batteries are

inserted correctly.

• Replace all the batteries with new

ones if they are weak.

There is no audio.
• Unplug the headphones when

listening through speakers.

Noise is heard.
• Someone is using a portable

telephone or other equipment that
emits radio waves near the player.
tMove the portable telephone,
etc., away from the player.

CD Player

The CD does not play or “no dISC”
lights in the display even when a
CD is in place.
• Place the CD with the label

surface up.

• Clean the CD.
• Take out the CD and leave the CD

compartment open for about an
hour to dry moisture
condensation.

• The CD-R/CD-RW was not

finalized. Finalize the CD-R/CD-
RW with the recording device.

• There is a problem with the

quality of the CD-R/CD-RW,
recording device, or application
software.

The sound drops out.
• Reduce the volume.
• Clean the CD, or replace it if the

CD is badly damaged.

• Place the player in a location free

from vibration.

• Clean the lens with a

commercially available blower.

• The sound may drop out or noise

may be heard when using poor
quality CD-Rs/CD-RWs or if
there is a problem with the
recording device or application
software.

Radio

The audio is weak or has poor
quality.
• Replace all the batteries with new

ones if they are weak.

• Move the player away from the

TV.

The picture of your TV becomes
unstable.
• If you are listening to an FM

program near the TV with an
indoor antenna, move the player
away from the TV.

Using the player on batteries

Insert six size D (R20) batteries (not supplied) into the battery
compartment.

Notes
• Replace the batteries when the OPR/BATT indicator dims or when the

player stops operating. Replace all the batteries with new ones. Before
you replace the batteries, be sure to take out the CD from the player.

• To use the player on batteries, disconnect the AC power cord from the

player.

Connecting the AC power cord

Insert one end of the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN socket located
at the rear of the player, and the other end to the wall outlet.

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD

player section is harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the casing. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel
only.

• Should any solid object or liquid

fall into the player, unplug the
player, and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

Cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet, panel and

controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or
solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.

On power sources

• For AC operation, use the

supplied AC power cord; do not
use any other type.

• The player is not disconnected

from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected
to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the player from the wall

outlet when it is not to be used for
an extended period of time.

• For battery operation, use six size

D (R20) batteries.

• When the batteries are not to be

used, remove them to avoid
damage that can be caused by
battery leakage or corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating

operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located at the
bottom.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a

location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical
shock.

• Do not place the player on an

inclined or unstable place.

• Do not place anything within 10

mm of the side of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must be
unobstructed for the player to
operate properly and prolong the
life of its components.

• If the player is left in a car parked

in the sun, be sure to choose a
location in the car where the
player will not be subjected to the
direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for

the speakers, keep personal credit
cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches away from
the player to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly

from a cold to a warm location, or
is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the CD player
section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly.
In this case, remove the CD and
wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.

• If the player has not been used for

a long time, set it in the playback
mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a
cassette.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Inserting batteries into the remote
(CFD-S36 only)

Insert two size AA (R6) batteries (not supplied)

Replacing batteries

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the
remote no longer operates the player, replace all the batteries with new
ones.

Note

When you operate the player on batteries, you cannot turn on the player
using the remote.
