Precautions
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.
•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 as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
•For battery operation, use six 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 on 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 side of the cabinet. 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.
•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 questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
