Additional Information
Precautions
On operating voltage
Before oper^iting the system, check that the
operating voltage of your system is identical with
the voltage of your Ux'al power supply.
On safety
• The 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 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.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified ser\'ice shop.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Vibrating
— Subject to direct sunlight
On operation
• 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 system will not
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the
system turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cli^th sUghtlv moistened with mild
detergent solution.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape fropi being accidentally recorded
o\’or, 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.

Precautions (continued)
Before placing a cassette in the tape deck
T.iko lip am slack in tlu* tape, (.^tlicrwiso the tape
ma\- get entangled inside the tapi' deck and become
damaged.
When using a tape longer than 90 minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not frequentK' change
the tape operations such as plav, stop, and fasttorwarding, etc. The tape mav get entangled in the
tape deck.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every U1 hours of use.
When the tape heads become dirt\'
— the sound is distorted
— there is a decrease in sound level
— the sound drops out
— the tape does not erase completeK
— the tape does not record
Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start
an important recording or after playing an old tape.
Use a separately sold 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 every 20 to 30 hours of
use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing cassette.
