2001 Sony Corporation

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette Player.

XR-CA300/CA310 only

In addition to the cassette playback and radio operations, you can expand your system by connecting an optional CD/MD unit*1. When you operate this unit or a connected optional CD unit with the CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT information will appear in the display when you play a CD TEXT disc*2.

*1 You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer, a CD player, or an MD player.

*2 A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes information such as the disc name, artist name, and track names.

This information is recorded on the disc.

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 two-speaker system, set the fader control to the centre position.

•When a 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 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.

•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.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not recommended except for long continuous play. The tape used for these cassettes is very thin and tends to stretch easily. Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes may cause them to become entangled in the cassette deck mechanism.

Slack

•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause problems when inserting or ejecting tapes. Remove or replace loose labels.

•The sound may become distorted while playing the cassette. The cassette player head should be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

RDS

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: retuning the same programme automatically, listening to traffic announcements, and locating a station by programme type.

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 to is not transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station name

The name of the current station lights up in the display.

Select an FM station (page 8).

When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being received.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes as follows:

Station Name* (Frequency) yClock

*When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name appears.

Note

“NO NAME” appears if the received station does not transmit RDS data.

Retuning the same programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function automatically selects and retunes 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 retune the station manually.

Frequencies change automatically.

96.0MHz

98.5MHz

Station

102.5MHz

1 Select an FM station (page 8).

2 Press (AF) repeatedly until “AF-ON” appears.

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 do not need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing (AF) repeatedly until “AF-OFF” appears.

10

Changing the display item

Each time you press (AF), the item changes as follows:

AF-ON yAF-OFF

Notes

•When “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

•If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the previously selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG-ON” (regional on) function lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG-ON,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

During radio reception, press (AF) for two seconds until “REG-OFF” appears.

Note that selecting “REG-OFF” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

To return to regional on, select “REG-ON.”

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (AF) for two seconds, the item changes as follows:

REG-ON yREG-OFF

Local link function (United Kingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local station stored on it.

2 Within five seconds, press the number button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired local station is received.

11

Listening to traffic announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data let you automatically tune in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic announcements even if you are listening to other programme sources.

Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” appears in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.

Tip

If 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 does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that broadcasts it.

•When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic announcements by other stations in the same network.

To cancel the current traffic announcement

Press (TA).

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing (TA) until “TA-OFF” appears.

Presetting the volume of traffic announcements

You can preset the volume level of the traffic announcements beforehand so you won’t miss the announcement. When a traffic announcement starts, the volume will be automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Press the volume button to adjust the desired volume level.

2 Press (TA) for two seconds.

“TA” appears and the setting is stored.

Receiving emergency announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while you are listening to the radio, the programme will automatically switch to it. 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 which source you are listening to at the time.

12

Presetting the RDS stations with the AF and TA data

When you preset 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 a different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 8).

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON” and/or “TA-ON.”

Note that selecting “AF-OFF” or “TA-OFF” stores not only RDS stations, but also nonRDS stations.

3 Press (SENS) (BTM) until “BTM” flashes.

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the desired station.

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON” and/or “TA-ON.”

3 Press the desired number button until “MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 to preset other stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA setting after you tune in the preset station, you can do so by turning the AF or TA function on or off.

Bezpečnostní opatření

•Bylo-li vaše auto zaparkováno na přímém slunci a došlo-li k velkému zvýšení teploty uvnitř auta, nechte přístroj vychladnout, než ho uvedete do provozu.

•Není-li přístroj pod proudem, zkontrolujte napřed jeho zapojení. Je-li vše v pořádku, zkontrolujte pojistku.

•Jestliže se z reproduktorů neozývá žádný zvuk, když jsou zapojené 2 reproduktory, nastavte vyvážení reproduktorů do středové polohy.

•Jestliže delší dobu posloucháte kazetu, může se stát, že se zahřeje od zabudovaného zesilovače. Není to však znakem poruchy.

Vyskytnou-li se další otázky nebo problémy týkající se vašeho přístroje, které nejsou popsány v tomto návodu k použití, obra5te se na nejbližší zastoupení firmy Sony.

Udržení vysoké kvality zvuku

Jestliže jsou v blízkosti vašeho rádia umístěné držáky na nápoje, dbejte na to, aby se do vašeho autorádia nedostaly ovocné š5ávy, ani jiné nápoje. Zbytky cukru na tomto přístroji nebo na kazetách by mohly zašpinit hlavy pro přehrávání, snížit kvalitu zvuku nebo všeobecně zhoršit reprodukci zvuku. Soupravy na čistění kazet nemohou odstranit cukr z hlav na přehrávání.

2

Poznámky ke kazetám

Péče o kazety

•Nedotýkejte se povrchu pásku v kazetě, protože by případné nečistoty nebo vlhkost zašpinily hlavy.

•Nepřibližujte kazety do blízkosti zařízení se silnými zabudovanými magnety, jako jsou reproduktory a zesilovače, protože by mohlo dojít k vymazání nebo poškození nahrávky na nahraném pásku.

•Nevystavujte kazety přímému slunečnímu záření, extrémně nízkým teplotám, ani vlhkosti.

•Případné smyčky na pásku by mohly způsobit zamotání pásku v přístroji. Než vložíte kazetu, napněte pásek za pomoci tužky nebo podobného předmětu - otáčením jednoho z koleček.

Kazety delší než 90 minut

Nedoporučujeme přehrávání kazet delších než 90 minut s výjimkou dlouhého souvislého přehrávání. Pásky užívané pro tyto kazety jsou velmi slabé, proto může snadno dojít k jejich natažení. Jejich časté přehrávání a zastavování může vést k tomu, že se navinou na hlavy mechaniky.

Smyčka

•Zdeformované kazety nebo částečně odlepené nálepky mohou způsobovat problémy při zasouvání a vysouvání kazet. Odstraňte, příp. nahraCte uvolněné nálepky.

•Může se stát, že bude zvuk při přehrávání kazety rušený. Hlavy magnetofonu by měly být čistěny po každých 50 hodinách provozu.
