INFORMATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been
type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class В
computing device in accordance with the specifications in
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that
equipment and receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful:
“Howto Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems’’. This booklet is available from the U.S.

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.

Maintenance
Cleaning the heads and tape path
Contaminated heads cause insufficient recording or sound
drop-out in playback.
We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation.
To make the best possible recordings, however, you should
clean all surfaces over which tape travels before making each
recoding.
Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a
cleaning tip slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.
After cleaning the heads, rollers and tape path, insert a
cassette when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
Demagnetizing heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will
have built up on the heads to begin to cause loss of high
frequencies and hiss. At this time you should demagnetize
the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a
commercially available head demagnetizer. Be sure that the
cassette-corder is turned off while you demagnetize.
Cleaning the lens
If you have accidentally touched the lens of the CD player
section with dirty fingers or the dust has accumulated on the
lens, the unit will not operate properly. In such cases, clean
the lens with lens cleaning kit (optional).
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as
alcohol or benzine.
