Welcome !
Thank you for purchasing this Sony MiniDisc
Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of
features by using either a supplied rotary
commander or an optional wireless remote.
In addition to the MD playback and radio
operations, you can expand your system by
connecting an optional CD/MD unit*
1
.
When you operate this unit with a connected
optional CD unit compatible with the CD
TEXT function, the CD TEXT information will
appear in the display when you play back a
CD TEXT disc*
2
.
*
1
You can also connect a CD changer or an MD
changer.
*
2
A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes
information such as the disc name, artist name,
and track names.
This information is recorded on the disc.
You can select for the display language and
vocalised comments of the voice guide in
either English or Spanish.
Voice Drive
Sony has developed a new function which
contributes to safer driving.
In addition to our unique rotary commander,
we now introduce a voice sensitive operating
system Voice Drive which gives the driver
voice control of the car audio.
Now, while keeping your eyes on the road,
you can command operations with Voice Drive
and confirm results with Voice Guide.
And you can also record your voice with the
voice memo function. It will take a note for
you when you see or think of something while
you are driving.
Voice guide for safe driving
This unit has a voice guide function*. When
the voice guide function is on, the unit gives
vocalised comments on functions
corresponding to the relevant button pushed.
These comments can be vocalised in either
English or Spanish.
* Some optional power amplifiers may cause a
break at the beginning of vocalised comments.
When you connect an optional MD changer, the
sound from the first MD may continue for a short
time even after the vocalised comments about
the second MD are announced.

Notes on MDs
Since an MD itself is housed in a cartridge, free
from accidental contact with your fingers and
dust, etc. it 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.
Never touch the surface of the MD itself by
deliberately opening the shutter on the
cartridge.
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 the direct sunlight where
there can be a considerable rise in temperature.
Make sure that it is not left on the dashboard
or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature
can also be excessive.
Notes on mounting labels
Be sure to mount labels on cartridges correctly,
as failing to do so may cause an MD to become
stuck in the unit.
Mount 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.
Note on using MDs
If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the car audio and MDs.
Sugary residues spilt on this unit or on the
MDs may contaminate the unit and MDs,
reduce the sound quality, or prevent sound
reproduction altogether.
Cleaning
Wipe the surface of the MD cartridge from
time to time with a soft dry cloth.

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: re-tuning 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 15).

items are scrolled in the display one by one in
order.
Tip
The Motion Display mode can be turned off. (See
“Changing the sound and display settings” on
page 33.)
Note
“NO Name” appears if the received station does
not transmit RDS data.
Re-tuning the same
programme automatically
— Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and re-tunes the station
with the strongest signal in a network. By
using this function, you can continuously
listen to the same programme during a long-
distance drive without having to re-tune the
station manually.
1 Select an FM station (page 15).
2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF on”
appears.
The unit starts searching for an alternative
station with a stronger signal in the same
network.
Note
When there is no alternative station in the area
and you do not need to search for an alternative
station, turn the AF function off by pressing
(AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF TA off” appears.
Changing the display item
Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes
as follows:
B AF on B TA on B AF TA on*
AF TA off b
* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA
functions.
Notes
• “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately,
if the unit cannot find an alternative station in
the network.
If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Push
the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the
station name is flashing (within eight seconds).
The unit starts searching for another frequency
with the same PI (Programme Identification) data
(“PI seek” appears and no sound is heard). If the
unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI”
appears, and the unit returns to the originally
selected frequency.
18
Listening to a regional programme
The “REG on” (regional on) function lets you
stay tuned to a regional programme without
being switched to another regional station.
(Note that you must turn the AF function on.)
The unit is factory preset to “REG on,” but if
you want to turn off the function, do the
following.
1 Press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY
MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.
2 Press (5) (t) repeatedly until “REG off”
appears.
3 Press (SHIFT).
Note that selecting “REG off” might cause
the unit to switch to another regional
station within the same network.
To return to regional on, select “REG on” in
step 2 above.
Note
This function does not work in the United
Kingdom and in some other areas.
Local link function (United
Kingdom only)
The Local Link function lets you select other
local stations in the area, even if they are not
stored on your number buttons.
1 Press a number button ((1) to (10)) that
has a local station stored on it.
2 Within five seconds, press the number
button of the local station again.
3 Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even though you are
listening to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or
“AF TA on” appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” appears in the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tip
If the traffic announcement starts while you are
listening to another programme source, the unit
automatically switches to the announcement and
returns to the original source when the
announcement is over.
Notes
• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received
station does not broadcast traffic
announcements. Then, the unit starts searching
for a station that broadcasts traffic
announcements.
• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,
the current station makes use of broadcast traffic

the announcement. When a traffic
announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.

Receiving emergency
announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while
you are listening to the radio, the programme
will automatically switch to the
announcement. If you are listening to a source
other than the radio, the emergency
announcements will be heard if you set AF or
TA to on. The unit will then automatically
switch to these announcements no matter what
you are listening to at the time.
Presetting the RDS
stations with the AF and
TA data
When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores
each station’s data as well as its frequency, so
you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA
function every time you tune in the preset
station. You can select a different setting (AF,
TA, or both) for individual preset station, or
the same setting for all preset stations.
Presetting the same setting for all
preset stations

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either
“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both
AF and TA functions).
Note that selecting “AF TA off” stores not
only RDS stations, but also non-RDS
stations.
3 Press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY
MODE) repeatedly until “B.T.M” appears.
4 Press (5) (t) until “B.T.M” flashes.
5 Press (SHIFT).
Presetting different settings for
each preset station
1 Select an FM band, and tune in the
desired station.
2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either
“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both
AF and TA functions).
3 Press and hold the desired number
button ((1) to (10)) until “MEM”
appears.
Repeat from step 1 for presetting other
stations.

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA
setting after you tune in the preset station, you
can do so by turning the AF or TA function on or
off.

announcements
