Replacing the ear pads  
Caring for others  
The ear pads are replaceable. If the ear pads  
become dirty or worn out, replace them as  
illustrated below.  
The ear pad is not commercially available. You  
can order replacements from the store where  
you purchased this system, or at your nearest

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will  
allow you to hear outside sounds and to be  
considerate to the people around you.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning the headphones that are not  
covered in this manual, please consult nearest  
Sony dealer.  
1 Remove the old ear pad by pulling it off.  
Ear pad  
2 Place the new ear pad around the  
housing.

•When the headphones are not to be used for  
a long period of time, remove the battery to  
avoid damage caused by battery leakage and  
subsequent corrosion.  
•Do not leave the cordless stereo headphones  
in a location subject to direct sunlight, heat or  
moisture (It is recommended to use the  
headphones at a temperature of between 5 ˚C  
and 35 ˚C (41 ˚F and 95 ˚F).)  
•Do not drop, hit or otherwise subject  
headphones to strong shocks of any kind.  
This could damage the product.  
Notes on headphones preventing hearing  
damage  
Avoid using headphones at high volume.  
Hearing experts advise against continuous,  
loud and extended play. If you experience a  
ringing in your ears, lower the volume or  
discontinue use.

•Before playing, clean the discs with a  
commercially available cleaning cloth. Wipe  
each disc from the center out. Do not use  
solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic  
spray intended for analog discs.  
Notes on discs  
•To keep the disc clean, do not touch the  
surface. Handle the disc by its edge.  
•Keep your discs in their cases or disc  
magazines when not in use. Do not subject  
the discs to heat/high temperature. Avoid  
leaving them in parked cars or on  
dashboards/rear trays.  
•Do not attach labels, or use discs with sticky  
ink/residue. Such discs may stop spinning  
when used, causing a malfunction, or may  
ruin the disc.  
•Do not use any discs with labels or stickers  
attached.  
The following malfunctions may result from  
using such discs:  
— Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or  
sticker peeling off and jamming the eject  
mechanism).  
— Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,  
playback skipping, or no playback) due to  
heat shrinking of a sticker or label causing  
a disc to warp.  
•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.  
•You cannot play 8 cm (3 in.) CDs.

The playback order of the MP3 files  
About MP3 files  
The playback order of the folders and files is as  
follows:  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3) is a standard  
technology and format for compressing a  
sound sequence. The file is compressed to  
about 1/10 of its original size. Sounds outside  
the range of human hearing are compressed  
while the sounds we can hear are not  
compressed.

Notes on discs  
You can play MP3 files recorded on CD-ROMs,

The disc must be in the ISO 9660* level 1 or  
level 2 format, or Joliet or Romeo in the  
expansion format.

* ISO 9660 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 8 characters in the name, no  
more than 3 characters in the extension  
“.MP3”) and in capital letters. Folder names  
can be no longer than 8 characters. There can  
be no more than 8 nested folder levels. Level  
2 specifications allow file names up to 31  
characters long.  
Each folder can have up to 8 trees.  
For Joliet or Romeo in the expansion format,  
make sure of the contents of the writing  
software, etc.

Tip  
To specify a desired playback order, before the  
folder or file name, input the order by number  
(e.g., “01,” “02”), then record contents onto a disc  
(The order differs depending on the writing  
software).  
Notes  
• With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and  
level 2, folder names or file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
• When naming, be sure to add the file extension  
“.MP3” to the file name.  
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to a file other  
than MP3, the player cannot recognize the file  
properly and will generate random noise that  
could damage your speakers.  
• The following discs take a longer time to start  
playback.  
— a disc recorded with complicated tree  
structure.  
— a disc to which data can be added.  
• If you play a high-bit rate MP3 file such as 320  
kbps, sound may be intermittent.
