Precautions

On safety

• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC or 12 V DC. For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any other type. For battery operation, use eight size D (R20) batteries.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• When the internal batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion.

• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom.

•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

On placement

• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the proper operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its components.

• If the unit is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose

a location in the car where the unit will not be subject to the direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep

personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

• If a cassette cannot be removed

If the power was accidentally cut off (for example, the AC power cord was disconnected, the batteries felt out or an interruption of the main power source occurred) after ►, REC or HI SPEED DUBBING was pressed, it may not be possible to eject the cassette. In this case, supply power to the unit again and then press l^after pressing to remove the cassette.

• If the button cannot be released

If ► is depressed when the power is turned off (the power cord is disconnected or the batteries are removed), it cannot be released even if B±is pressed. To release the button, turn on the power again and then press

• If the cassette holder cannot be closed firmly Press ■±to remove the cassette and reinsert It into the holder. Do not attempt to play back or record when the cassette holder is not firmly closed. Otherwise, the cassette may be damaged.

• If the unit has not been used for a long time

Set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.

Note on the cassette longer than 90 minutes

The use of a cassette tape longer than 90 minutes is not

recommended except for long continuous recording or playback.

If you have any question or problem concerning your unit that is not covered in this manual, please consult the nearest Sony dealer.
