Precautions
Operate the unit only on 4.5 V DC. For battery operation, use three size AA (R6) batteries. For AC

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to a wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock.
Never leave in a car parked under the sun.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the AC power adaptor and remove the
batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. Make sure
that no liquid or foreign material enters the DC IN 4.5 V jack of the unit. This may lead to the malfunc-
tion of the unit.
In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be difficult or subject to interference. Try listening near a
window.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep away personal credit cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

Sony ICF-M410V Questions and Answers


#1 Can't Open the Tray or Eject the Disc From the CD Player?

IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.
Follow these steps to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Power off your CD player.
2. Unplug the power cord for 30 seconds, and then plug it back in.
3. Power on your device.
4. Try to open or close the disc drawer or tray.
Note: Make sure nothing blocks the tray from opening or closing.

#2 What is the difference between Compact Discs (CDs) and Music CDs?

The quality of the CD and Music CD media are the same. However, CD-R music discs are encoded with information that the CD recorder uses to identify the disc as the appropriate music media.
This information is used for the creation of the file allocation table (FAT), which is where information is stored regarding the physical location of every file on the disc. The CD-R music discs also maintain copy protection and do not permit producing copies from copies.

#3 How to connect a portable player to a car stereo with a rear AUX input?

There are a couple of different ways that a portable player (such as a satellite radio tuner, a Walkman® player or Network Walkman™ player) can be connected using the AUX input on the back of a Sony® car stereo receiver:
- With an XA300 auxiliary input adapter.
- If you have an Apple® iPod® music player and a compatible car stereo, you can use the XA110IP or XA120IP Interface Adapter for iPod.

#4 How to clean a CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc media?

Use a soft, dry cloth to carefully wipe the disc from the center outward as follows.
WARNING: There is a risk of data loss. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available disc or lens cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl record LPs. Using liquid cleaners can damage the disc contents.
NOTE: Dust, fingerprints or scratches may cause the disc to malfunction. Always handle the disc by its edge and do not touch the surface. Also, store the disc in its case when not in use.
