Precautions
If vou have any questions or problems
concerning your stereo system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Caution
The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
On operating voltage
Before operating the stereo system, check
that the operating voltage of your stereo
system is identical with the v'oltage of vour
local power supply.
Operating voltage 120 V AC, 60 Hz
On safety
• The stereo system is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the system itself has been turned
off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet
(mains) if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time. To disconnect
the cord (mains lead), pull it out bv the
plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
• Should anv solid object or liquid fall into
the component, unplug the stereo s\'stem
and have the component checked bv
qualified personnel before operating it
anv further.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead)
need to be changed, have it done at a
qualified service shop only.
• As the laser beam used in this unit is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personal only.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat build
up 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 any CDs 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 safety
tab from side A or 13 as illustrated. If you
later want to reuse the tape for recording,
cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Troubleshooting

Maintenance
To clean the tape heads and tape
path
Contaminated tape heads cause poor
recording or sounci drop-out in playback.
We recommend cleaning after every 10
hours of operation.
Open the cassette holder 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:
Deck A
Cleaning swab
Deck B
Cleaning swab
Insert a_tape after the areas cleaned are
completely drw
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.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft doth slightly moistened with a
mild detergent solution.
To clean the CD
When a CD is dirtv, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
Notes on CDs
• 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 mav cause a tracking error.
