Sony would like to offer a free exchange of the external battery case included in the package of “CD Walkman” , having model names of “D-NE800”, “D-NE800LS”, “D-EJ700”, “D-EJ800”, “D-NE1”, “D-NE9”, “D-EJ985” and “D-EJ885”. We have discovered there is a possibility that some of the external battery cases included in the package of the models mentioned above may overheat and alter in shape due to a problem with the cords of such external battery cases.

We would like to ask all customers who own a “CD Walkman” with the model names and serial numbers listed below to contact our service centre.

*Note: The main unit of the “CD Walkman” operates normally. The exchange does not apply to the main unit. 

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may cause.

For owners of D-NE800, D-NE800LS,D-EJ700, D-EJ800

We offer a free exchange of the external battery case of the following models with the listed serial numbers:　

 For owners of D-NE1, D-NE9, D-EJ985, D-EJ885
We offer a free exchange of the external battery case of the following models with the listed serial numbers:　

Model Name	Serial Number

Although we have already offered a free exchange of the external battery case for 
these four models on November 19, 2003 , we have recently discovered that the replaced
battery cases still have a rare possibility of the same problem . 

We would like to again offer a free exchange of the battery case with a further improved 
battery case for all customers who own the affected CD Walkman.
