z You should adjust the recording level manually with  
the REC LEVEL control in the following cases:  
Adjusting the Recording Level  
Automatically (Auto Rec Level)  
The recording level cannot be adjusted properly due  
to excessive noise in the program source.  
The program source level is too low and the  
recording level does not increase.  
The Auto Rec Level function automatically measures  
the peak signal level and adjusts the recording level  
accordingly. The Auto Rec Level function operates  
during normal recording, Relay Recording or  
Simultaneous Recording on either deck.  
During a quiet passage in a program source such as  
classical music, the recording level may not increase  
for some time. If a high sound level is expected later  
on in the track, play that portion first so that the right  
adjustment can be obtained.  
The recording level does not decrease for a long time.  
The Auto Rec Level function may not work properly  
when you try to record sound produced by a graphic  
equalizer that has extremely high-level signals.

recording level as high as possible without causing  
distortion. If the signal level rises excessively after the  
start of recording, the deck gradually decreases the  
recording level.

Precautions  
Notes on Cassette Tapes  
To protect a recording on side A or B  
Break out the respective tab.  
On safety  
Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an  
electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel  
only.  
Side A  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
On power sources  
Tab for side A  
Tab for side B  
Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating  
voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power  
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the  
nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.  
To record on a tape with a missing record-protect  
tab  
Cover the respective tab hole with adhesive tape.  
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 (TC-WE835S U.S.A. and  
Canadian models only).  
If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time,  
be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet.  
To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;  
never pull the cord.  
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful  
not to cover the detector slots that the deck uses to  
determine the tape type.  
On operation  
Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will  
not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed,  
if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette  
has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.  
Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.  
Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.  
Type II  
Type IV  
Detector slots  
Detector slots  
On placement  
Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation  
to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.  
Do not place the tape deck:  
On tapes longer than 90 minutes  
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90  
minutes except for a long continuous recording or  
playback. They are very thin and tend to stretch easily.  
— on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the  
ventilation holes on the bottom.  
— in a location near heat sources.  
— in a place subject to direct sunlight.  
— in an inclined position.  
On handling cassettes  
• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting  
dirty, avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.  
• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets,  
such as speakers and amplifiers, which may cause  
tape distortion or erase the recordings.  
— in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.  
On cleaning the tape deck  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.  
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely  
cold temperature, or moisture.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Cleaning  
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a

the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer  
for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the  
demagnetizer.

Cleaning the heads and tape path  
Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after  
every 10 hours of operation to guard against:  
• low-quality sound  
• a decrease in sound level  
• excessive wow or flutter  
• sound dropout  
• incomplete erasure  
• impairment of recording function  
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you  
clean the heads and tape path before every recording.  
1
Press § to open the cassette holder. Grasp the  
front cover on both sides and gently lift to remove  
it.  
2
With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the  
pinch rollers and the capstans with a cotton swab  
slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially  
available cleaning fluid for tape decks.

Insert  
A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo carrier and the  
38-kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair the Dolby NR  
system. Though tuners are usually equipped with this filter,  
if you got poor results when recording FM broadcasts with  
the Dolby NR, your tuner may not have a filter or the filter  
may not be working. In this case, set the DOLBY NR selector  
on the tape deck to ON FILTER.
