Precautions
Notes on Cassettes
• If your car was parked in direct sunlight, allow
the unit to cool off before operating it.
• If no power is being supplied to the unit, check
the connections first. If everythin g i s i n order,
check the fuse.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of a 2speaker system, set the fader control to the
centre position.
• When a tape is playe d back for a long period,
the cassette may be come warm because of the
built-in power amplifier. However, this is not a
sign of malfunction.
If you have any questi ons or proble m s
concerning your unit that are not covered in this
manual, please co nsult your nearest S ony dealer.
To maintain high quality sound
Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks
onto the unit or tapes.
Cassette care
• Do not touch the t ape surface of a cas sette, as
any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.
• Keep cassettes away from equipment with
built-in magnets such as speakers and
amplifie rs, as erasure or di st ortion on the
recorded tape could occur.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sun l ig ht ,
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.
Slack
• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can caus e
problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.
Remove or replace loos e l abels.
• The sound may become distorted while playing
the cassette. The cassette player head should be
cleaned after each 50 hours of use.
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes
is not recommended except for long
continuous pla y
The tape used for th ese cassettes is very thi n and
tends to stretch easily.
Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes
may cause them to become entangled in the
cassette deck mechanism.
