Precautions
• If your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car, allow the unit to
cool off before operating it.
• If no power is being supplied to the unit,
check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of a
2-speaker system, set the fader control to the
center position.
• When the tape is played back for a long
period, the cassette may become warm
because of the built-in power amplifier.
However, this is not a sign of malfunction.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
To maintain high quality sound
If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary
residues on this unit or cassette tapes may
contaminate the playback heads, reduce the
sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction
altogether.
Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar
from the tape heads.

Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as
any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
• Keep cassettes ataryway from equipment
with built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the
recorded tape could occur.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,
extremely cold temperatures or moisture.
• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be
caught in the machine. Before you insert the
tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the
reel and take up any slack.
EN
• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause
problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.
Remove or replace loose labels.
Maintenance
Fuse Replacement
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
with the correct amperage which is stated on
the fuse case. Never use a fuse whose
amperage rating exceeds the one supplied to
the unit as this could cause a malfunction of
the unit.
Warning
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as
this could damage the unit.
Removing the unit
Slack
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is
not recommended except for long continuous
play. The tapes used for these cassettes are
very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to be pulled into the cassette
deck mechanism.

To prevent the unit from being stolen
When you leave your car, remove the unit
from the bracket and take it away with you.
Caution
Be careful when you remove the unit. The rear
of the unit becomes very hot just after
operating it because of a built-in power
amplifer.
The rotary commander
