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 you have any questions or problems conceming your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Protection circuit

The built-in power amplifier employs a protection circuit to protect the speakers if the amplifier malfunctions. When the protection circuit activates, there will be an abrupt loss of sound from the speakers. Particularly, when speakers with a low input impedance (less than 4 ohms) are connected to the unit, the sound will be discontinued. This, however, is not a problem. If this happens, turn the volume down a little.

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

Avoid touching 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 on the recorded tape could occur.

Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperatures or moisture.

The cassette shell may become warm when the tape is played back for a long period of time because of the built-in power amplifier. However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.

Note on cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer then 90 minutes is not recommended except for long continuous play. The tapes used for these cassettes are very thin and tends to be stretched easily. Frequent playing and stopping operation for these tapes may cause them to be pulled into the cassette deck mechanism.
