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:

deck continues recording silence until
it reaches the end of the front side;

at the end of side A, make sure the tracks
programmed for side A do not exceed the
length of a single side. Otherwise recording
cannot be made correctly.
To start recording partway through a
tape
Play or record on the tape for more than a few
seconds, then press CD SYNC. As soon as you
start recording, CD starts playing.
When you press CD SYNC after pressing
6 EJECT to insert a tape, CD play will start 10
seconds after recording starts. This will
happen when recording on any part of the
tape because the stereo system is designed to
prevent recording on the leader at the
beginning of the tape.
6 Press P on the remote to pause
recording at the end of side A.
The total recording time “0.00” is
displayed.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to programme the
remaining tracks you want to record on
side B in the order you want them to be
recorded.

Information
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.
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:
• The mains lead is connected firmly.
• The speakers are connected correctly and
firmly.
Should any problem persist after you have
made the checks below, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

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.

Bienvenue!
Nous vous remercions d’avoir fait l’acquisition de cette chaîne haute
fidélité compacte Sony.
Cette chaîne stéréo est truffée de fonctions amusantes. En voici un
avant-goût:
• Les dimensions du panneau frontal de chaque composant
correspondent à celles d’une pochette de disque compact. Cette
uniformisation permet d’empiler ou d’agencer comme vous
l’entendez les composants de la chaîne.
• Le système DBFB (Dynamic Bass Feedback) amplifie les sons basse
fréquence pour obtenir la diffusion de graves puissantes et
profondes par le biais d’une paire de haut-parleurs bass reflex
pleine plage.
• Une fonction de présélection permet de mémoriser et de rappeler
jusqu’à 20 stations FM, 10 stations MW et 10 stations LW (sur les
modèles allemand, italien et de couleur or, vous pouvez
mémoriser et rappeler jusqu’à 20 stations FM et 10 stations AM.)
• Le programmateur permet de mettre en service/hors service le
lecteur de disques compacts, le lecteur de cassettes ou la radio à
l’heure de votre choix
• La télécommande permet de contrôler la diffusion du son sans
quitter votre fauteuil
• La prise de sortie optique autorise l’exécution d’enregistrements
numériques
