On safety/power sources
• 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.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• For battery operation, use four 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/operation
• 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 anything within 10 mm of the rear side of the unit. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and to prolong the life of its components.
• 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.
• Do not lift the handle when the telescopic antenna is extended.
• 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.
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.
• The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback.
If you have questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
