Before operating this system

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.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which

mates DVD recorded material on one side

with digital audio material on the other side.

However, since the audio material side does

not conform to the Compact Disc (CD)

standard, playback on this product is not

guaranteed.

Malfunctions that occur during the

normal use of the system will be

repaired by Sony in accordance with the

conditions defined in the limited

warranty for this system. However, Sony

will not be liable for any consequences

arising from a failure to play caused by a

damaged or malfunctioning system.
