Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
• 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 player, unplug the player, and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g.,
heart, square, star) cannot be played on
this player. Attempting to do so may
damage the player. Do not use such discs.
On power sources
• For AC operation, use the supplied AC
power cord; do not use any other type.
• The player is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
player itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet
when it is not be used for an extended
period of time.
• For battery operation, use eight size D
(R20) batteries.
• When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can be
caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is
located at the bottom.
On placement
• Do not leave the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place the player on an inclined or
unstable place.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of
the side of the cabinet. The ventilation
holes must be unobstructed for the player
to operate properly and prolong the life of
its components.
• If the player is left in a car parked in the
sun, be sure to choose a location in the car
where the player will not be subjected 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 player to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense
on the lens inside the CD player section.
Should this occur, the player will not
operate properly. In this case, remove the
CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
• If the player 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your player, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Precautions (continued)
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor
leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight
as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD,
nor scratch the surface of the CD.
• After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on
the CD, it may cause tracking error.
Notes on cassettes
• Break off the cassette tab from side A or B
to prevent accidental recording. If you
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.

recording device or application software.
Radio
The audio is weak or has poor quality.
• Replace all the batteries with new ones if
they are weak.
• Move the player away from the TV.
• If you are using the remote while listening to
AM radio, noise may be heard. This is
unavoidable.
The picture of your TV becomes unstable.
• If you are listening to an FM program near
the TV with an indoor antenna, move the
player away from the TV.
Tape Player
The tape does not move when you press
an operation button.
• Close the tape compartment securely.
The REC z button does not function.
The tape does not play.
• Make sure the safety tab on the cassette is in

place.
The audio is weak.
The audio quality is poor.
• Clean the heads, pinch roller and capstan (see
page 26).
• Demagnetize the heads using a demagnetizer
(see page 26).
The sound is distorted.
• The TYPE II (high position) or TYPE IV
(metal) tape is being used. Use TYPE I
(normal) tape only.
Remote
The remote does not function.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote with
new ones if they are weak.
• Make sure that you are pointing the remote at
the remote sensor on the player.
• Remove any obstacles in the path of the
remote and the player.
• Make sure the remote sensor is not exposed
to strong light such as direct sunlight or
fluorescent lamp light.
• Move closer to the player when using the
remote.
After trying the above remedies, if you still have
problems, unplug the AC power cord and remove
all the batteries. After all the indications in the
display disappear, plug the power cord and insert
the batteries again. If the problem persists, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a
skipping of sound during CD operation.
Clean with a commercially available blower.
Cleaning the tape heads and
tape path
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the
capstan with a cleaning swab slightly
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol
after every 10 hours of operation for
optimum playback and recording quality. To
make the best possible recording, however,
we recommend that you clean all surfaces
over which tape travels before each
recording.
Record/playback head
Capstan
Demagnetizing the tape heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual
magnetism will have built up on the tape
heads to begin to cause loss of high
frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you
should demagnetize the heads and all metal
parts in the tape path with a commercially
available tape head demagnetizer.
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.
Erase head
After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas
cleaned are completely dry.
