Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

• 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.

• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it will not be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

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

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

• Do not place the unit in locations where it is: — Extremely hot or cold — Dusty or dirty — Very humid — Subject to vibrations — Subject to direct sunlight

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be on the disc tray.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives on any of its surfaces as this may damage the system.

• Do not clean CDs with solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B as illustrated.

Detector slots

Tab of side B Tab of side A

Side A Break off the

cassette tab of side A

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

Tape type: CrO2/METAL NORMAL

If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Detector slots

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc. too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. When the tape heads become dirty

— the sound becomes distorted — the sound level decreases — the sound drops out — the tape does not erase completely

— the tape does not record Make sure to clean the tape heads before making an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a commercially available dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a commercially available demagnetizing cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter a problem with your system, do the following:

1 Make sure the power cord and speaker cords
