Notes on Cassettes
Table of Contents
Cassette care
•Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
•Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-in magnets such as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion of the recorded tape could occur.
•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.
•When the tape is played back for a long period, the cassette shell may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Notes on Cassette Deck Tape Heads
•Long use of cassette tapes contaminates the tape head causing poor sound quality or complete sound dropout. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the tape head once a month or so with the separately available Sony Cassette Cleaning Set. If the sound does not improve after using a cleaning cassette, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
•In case of old or inferior cassette tapes, the tape head gets contaminated much more quickly. Depending on the tape, one or two playbacks may cause poor sound.
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.

RDS Functions
Overview of the RDS Function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are just a few: Re-tuning the same programme automatically, Listening to traffic announcements and Locating a station by programme type.
Re-tuning the Same Programme Automatically
— Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function automatically selects and re-tunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same programme during a long­distance drive without having to re-tune the station manually.
Frequencies change automatically.
98.5MHz
96.0MHz
Notes
• Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available.
• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting RDS data.
Displaying the Station Name
The name of the station currently received lights up in the display.
Select an FM station.
When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name lights up in the display.
BBC1 FM
Note
The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being received.

lights up in the display.
The unit starts searching for an alternative station with a stronger signal in the same network.
Note
When there is no alternative station in the area and you don’t need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing the AF/TA button until “AF/TA OFF” lights up.
Changing the displayed items
Each time you press the displayed items change as follows:
z AF ON z TA ON z AF/TA ON*
* Select this to turn on both AF and TA functions.
Notes
• “NO AF” and the station name flashes alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.
• If the station service name starts flashing after you've made the preset selection, it means that no alternative frequency is available and the unit cannot receive the PI (Programme Identification) data of the memorized station. Press the SEEK/MANU button while the station service name is flashing (for about eight seconds) so the unit starts searching for a station with the same PI data, but with another frequency (“PI SEEK” lights up and no sound is heard). If the unit still cannot find an alternative station, “NO PI” lights up and the unit goes back to the original preset station.

2 Within five seconds, press again the
preset number button of the local station.
3 Repeat this procedure until the desired
local station is received.
Tip
When the traffic announcement starts while you are listening to another programme source, the unit automatically switches to the announcement and goes back to the original source when the announcement is over.
Notes
• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station doesn’t broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that does broadcast traffic announcements.
• When the “EON” indication appears with “TP” in the display window, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcements of other stations in the same network.

If an emergency announcement comes in while you are listening to the radio, the programme will be automatically switched to the announcement. If you are listening to a source other than the radio, the emergency announcements will be heard if you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then automatically switch to these announcements no matter what you are listening to at the time.

Presetting the RDS Stations with the AF and TA Data
When you preset the RDS stations, the unit stores each station’s data as well as its frequency, so you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you tune in the preset station. You can select different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset station or the same setting for all preset stations.

Précautions
Si vous avez garé votre voiture en plein soleil
et que la température à l’intérieur a considérablement augmenté, attendez que l’appareil se refroidisse avant de vous en servir.
Si l’alimentation électrique n’arrive pas à
l’appareil, vérifiez d’abord les connexions. Si elles sont correctes, vérifiez le fusible.
Si aucun son ne sort des deux haut-parleurs,
réglez le fader (balance avant-arrière) sur la position centrale.

Remarques sur les cassettes
Entretien des cassettes
Ne touchez pas la face sensible de la bande;
toute salissure peut se déposer sur les têtes.
Eloignez les cassettes enregistrées des
appareils contenant des aimants puissants comme les haut-parleurs ou les amplificateurs, car le son peut s’effacer partiellement ou être déformé.
N’exposez pas vos cassettes en plein soleil,
au froid intense ou à l’humidité.
Le boîtier de la cassette peut chauffer un peu
si vous écoutez la cassette pendant longtemps. Cette chaleur provient de l’amplificateur de puissance de l’autoradio. Ce n’est pas un signe de mauvais fonctionnement.
Remarque sur les têtes de lecture de la platine à cassette
L’utilisation de cassettes entraîne à la longue
une contamination de la tête de lecture, ce qui a pour effet une qualité sonore médiocre ou même une perte de son. Nous vous conseillons par conséquent de nettoyer la tête de lecture environ une fois par mois au moyen du set de cassette de nettoyage Sony. Si la qualité sonore ne s’est pas améliorée après avoir utilisé la cassette de nettoyage, consultez votre revendeur Sony.
Les cassettes usagées ou de qualité médiocre
contaminent beaucoup plus rapidement la tête de lecture. Suivant le type de la cassette, la qualité sonore peut s’avérer médiocre après une ou deux lectures.
Remarque sur les cassettes de plus de 90 minutes
L’utilisation de cassettes de plus de 90 minutes n’est pas recommandée sauf pour une lecture prolongée et ininterrompue. La bande de ces cassettes est extrêmement fine et a tendance à se détendre. Elle s’emmêle facilement dans le mécanisme de la platine en cas de lectures et arrêts fréquents.

Remarques
Vérifiez que la façade est dans le bon sens avant de la
fixer, car elle ne peut pas être fixée dans l’autre sens.
Ne forcez pas pour fixer la façade sur l’appareil.Une
légère pression est suffisante.
Rangez la façade dans son étui pour la transporter.
N’appuyez pas avec force sur l’afficheur de la façade.
Mettez l’appareil hors tension avant de retirer la façade.
Cependant, si vous appuyez sur la touche RELEASE quand l’appareil est sous tension, il se met automatiquement hors tension pour protéger les haut­parleurs.
Ne laissez pas la façade en plein soleil, près de sources de
chaleur comme des conduits d’air chaud ou dans un endroit humide. Ne la laissez jamais sur le tableau de bord, etc. d’une voiture garée en plein soleil, car la température risque d’augmenter considérablement.
Avertisseur
Si vous mettez la clé de contact du véhicule sur la position OFF (arrêt) sans enlever la façade, l’avertisseur se déclenche et émet un bip pendant quelques secondes. (Uniquement si l’interrupteur POWER SELECT est commuté sur A.)
Veillez à ne pas laisser tomber la façade quand vous la détachez de l’appareil.
