Tip
Step 1: Hooking up the system
(continued)
If you use the system with the speakers detached, you
may remove the four screws on the both sides of the
unit. If you do, be sure to retain the screws for future
use.
6 Connect the power cord to a wall outlet.
If the plug does not fit the wall socket,
detach the supplied plug adaptor (only for
models equipped with an adaptor).
+
–
Note
Do not attempt to lift up the system by the speakers.
There is a chance the unit will detach and drop. To
move the system, detach the speakers first and carry
them separately.
To replace the speaker grille
To remove the speaker grille, grasp one of the corners
and lift the grille out towards you. You can replace
the grille with one of the other supplied grilles of a
different color.
Verify which sides of the grille are rounded, then
attach the grille with the rounded sides on the top and
the bottom.
Note on the glass door of the CD
player
The CD player door is made of tempered glass.
Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is
more shock resistant and able to bear more weight
than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may
shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is
scratched.
To remove the AM antenna
If noise is heard while listening to an AM station,
remove the AM antenna from the rear panel and
place the antenna outside.
To detach the speakers
1 Slide the speakers in the opposite direction of
the arrows of the illustration in “Attach the
speakers” (see step 2-3 on page 5).
1 Remove the rear cover. (see step 1 on the
page 4).
2 Remove the AM antenna.
2 After detaching the speakers, pass the speaker
cords through the speaker cord slot at the
bottom of the speaker to prevent them from
being damaged.

Falling asleep to music
— Sleep Timer
The Sleep Timer function lets you specify a sleep
time, after which the system stops playing and
turns off automatically. You can thus fall asleep
to music.
What is the Radio Data
System?
Radio Data System (RDS)* is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal.
Note
SLEEP
RDS may not work properly if the station you have
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they all provide the same types of services. If you
are not familiar with the RDS system, check with
your local radio stations for details on RDS services
in your area.

Additional Information
Precautions
Notes on CDs
• Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives
on any of its surfaces as this may damage the
system.
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply.
• Do not clean CDs with solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
• The CD player door of the main unit is made of
tempered glass. Under normal conditions, this
tempered glass is more shock resistant and able to
bear more weight than ordinary glass. This glass,
however, may shatter if it receives a sharp blow or
if it is scratched.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B
as illustrated.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it
will not be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out
by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
Detector slots

Tab of side A
Side A
Break off the
cassette tab of

On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.
• Do not place the unit in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be
careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the
tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
Tape type:
CrO2/METAL
NORMAL
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold place to
a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the
system turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
Detector slots
• When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be
on the disc tray.

If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Precautions (continued)
Troubleshooting
Before placing a cassette in the
tape deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may
get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism
and become damaged.
Should you encounter a problem with your
system, do the following:
1 Make sure the power cord and speaker cords
are correctly and firmly connected.
2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting
checklist below and take the indicated
corrective action.
When using a tape longer than
90 minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc.
too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck’s playing mechanism.
If the problem persists after doing all of the above,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
