25 W × 4 ch) enables you to enjoy a
4-speaker system.
• Digital 24-hour clock provided (page 5).
Tuner section
• Up to 18 stations can be preset: 12 stations on

• The traffic announcement stand-by
function (SDK) for automatically starting the

of 18 stations in memory quickly and easily
(page 7).
Optional CD changers can be used.

Precautions
• Before operating the unit for the first time or
after replacing the car battery, press the reset
button with a ball-point pen etc., and then
start operating the unit.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of a
2-speaker system, set the fader control to the
center position.
• If your car is equipped with a power
antenna, note that it is automatically
extended while the unit is operating.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as
any dirt or dust contaminates 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.
Reset button
• If your car is 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.

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.

Fuse Replacement
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
matching the amperage rating stated on the
fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power
connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse
blows again after replacement, there may be an
internal malfunction. In such a case, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
Fuse (10 A)

Précautions
• Avant la mise en service de l’appareil ou
après avoir remplacé la batterie de la voiture,
appuyez sur le petit bouton de
réinitialisation avec un stylo à bille ou un
objet pointu, puis allumez l’appareil.
Bouton de
réinitialisation
• 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.
2
• Si aucun son ne sort des deux haut-parleurs,
réglez le fader (balance avant-arrière) sur la
position centrale.
• Si votre voiture est équipée d’une antenne
électrique, elle se déploie automatiquement
quand l’appareil est en service.
Pour toute question ou problème au sujet de
cet appareil, dont vous ne trouveriez pas
l’explication dans ce mode d’emploi, consultez
votre revendeur Sony.
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.
Remarques 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 lecture et
arrêts fréquents.

• 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
4
bord, etc. d’une voiture garée en plein soleil, car la
température risque d’augmenter considérablement.
