About CD SYNC (synchronized) recording
With this feature, the cassette deck records a CD synchronizing with the length of the tracks on the CD, so you do not have to worry about the tape direction or remaining time while recording. This stereo system uses the Fade Synchronized recording feature. With this feature, the deck slowly fades out a recording so that a track is not abruptly cut off at the end of the tape. If the tape reaches the end of its front side while recording a track, the deck re-records it automatically after rewinding the tape to the beginning of the track. This time, the track is recorded with a fadeout at the end of the tape. (Recording ends at this point if it is a single-sided recording.)
Recording in the original track order of the CD
When the track order has been programmed and the total length of the tracks to be recorded is shorter than the length of one side of the tape, the unit automatically operates as follows:
When the CD player is paused, the deck continues recording silence until it reaches the end of the front side; then it reverses the tape and starts recording.

Precautions
If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
In case colour irregularity is observed on nearby TV screen
With this magnetically shielded type of speaker system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, colour irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the 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 mains if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into a component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• The mains lead must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build­up in the stereo system.
On condensation in the CD player component
If the system 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. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated. If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Side A
Tab of side B
When you are using a TYPE II (CrO2) or TYPE IV (METAL) cassette, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.
Tab of side A
If colour irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
If colour irregularity is observed again...
Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.
Troubleshooting Guide
If you run into any problem using the stereo, use the following check list after first checking the following two points:

Maintenance
To clean the tape heads and tape path
Contaminated tape heads cause poor recording or sound drop-out in playback. We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation.
Open the tape compartment and wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol. Wipe the parts shown below:
Cleaning swab
Insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
To demagnetize the tape 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, demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer. Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizer.
Erase head
Capstan
Pinch roller
Playback head
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
To clean the CD
When a CD is dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.
Notes on CD
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause a tracking error.
