emissions set out in Radio InterfererKe Regulations.

• An LW/MW/SW/FM stereo receiver with wotid-wide band coverage.

• Quartz controlled PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer system

using a microcomputer for easy pinpoint tuning. The tuned

frequency is digitally displayed.

• Fine tuning control for precise tuning

• SSB (Single side band) can be received # .

• Provided with a recording output and a remote control jack.

Connecting the unit to the optional Sony TCM-27 cassette-corder

using these jacks, you can start recording programs at a desired

time #.

the station directly #

Manual tuning .. Even if you don’t know the frequency of the

station, you can tune in the station precisely %

Power sources . Three different power sources: internal batteries,

house current, car battery #

For battery operation, use four size AA (R6) batteries.

For AC operation, use the AC power adaptor supplied with this

unit; do not use any other type.

For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended

for this unit; do not use any other type.

• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place

subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0®C to 40®C (32®F to

104®F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, there may

be trouble with the frequency and clock display. If it is used in

temperatures lower than this range, the displayed numbers may

change very slowly. This is not an internal malfunction. The display

will recover when the unit is used within the recommended

temperature.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the

batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal

credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away

from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the

magnet.

• Reception around 1.8 MHz and 3.6 MHz may be difficult because

of internal spurious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.

• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth

dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive

cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.

If you have any question or problem concerning your unit that is not

covered in this manual, please consult the nearest Sony dealer.
