When you operate the player on the batteries,  
you cannot turn on the player with remote.  
Tip  
3 Inserting batteries into the remote  
When you operate the player on batteries, replace  
the back-up batteries when the time display dims  
or when you cannot operate the timer. Replace all  
the batteries with new ones. With normal use, the  
back-up batteries should last for about six months.  
To save the memory data, replace the batteries  
with the AC power cord connected.

indicator dims or when the player stops  
operating. Replace all the batteries with new  
ones.  
25  
Additional Information  
On placement  
Do not leave the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical  
shock.  
Do not place the player on an inclined or  
unstable place.  
Do not place anything within 10 mm of  
the side of the cabinet. The ventilation  
holes must be unobstructed for the player  
to operate properly and prolong the life of  
its components.  
Precautions  
On safety  
As the laser beam used in the CD player  
section is harmful to the eyes, do not  
attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer  
servicing to qualified personnel only.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into  
the player, unplug the player, and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
If the player is left in a car parked in the  
sun, be sure to choose a location in the car  
where the player will not be subjected to  
the direct rays of the sun.  
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g.,  
heart, square, star) cannot be played on  
this player. Attempting to do so may  
damage the player. Do not use such discs.  
Since a strong magnet is used for the  
speakers, keep personal credit cards using  
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches  
away from the player to prevent possible  
damage from the magnet.  
On power sources  
For AC operation, use the supplied AC  
power cord; do not use any other type.  
The player is not disconnected from the  
AC power source (mains) as long as it is  
connected to the wall outlet, even if the  
player itself has been turned off.  
Unplug the player from the wall outlet  
when it is not be used for an extended  
period of time.  
On operation  
If the player is brought directly from a  
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a  
very damp room, moisture may condense  
on the lens inside the CD player section.  
Should this occur, the player will not  
operate properly. In this case, remove the  
CD and wait about an hour for the  
moisture to evaporate.  
For battery operation, use six size C (R14)  
batteries.  
When the batteries are not to be used,  
remove them to avoid damage that can be  
caused by battery leakage or corrosion.  
The nameplate indicating operating  
voltage, power consumption, etc. is  
located at the bottom.  
If the player has not been used for a long  
time, set it in the playback mode to warm  
it up for a few minutes before inserting a  
cassette.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.

recording device or application software.  
You cannot open/close the lid of the CD  
compartment.  
• Place the player on a level surface and open/  
close the lid.

• Check to see if the AC power had been cut  
off.  
• Make sure the c (clock) indication is  
displayed.  
Radio  
The audio is weak or has poor quality.  
• Replace all the batteries with new ones if  
they are weak.  
• Move the player away from the TV.  
• If you are using the remote while listening to  
an AM radio, noise may be heard. This is  
unavoidable.  
Remote  
The remote does not function.  
• Replace all the batteries in the remote with  
new ones if they are weak.  
• Make sure that you are pointing the remote at  
the remote sensor on the player.  
The picture of your TV becomes unstable.  
• If you are listening to an FM program near  
the TV with an indoor antenna, move the  
player away from the TV.  
• Remove any obstacles in the path of the  
remote and the player.  
• Make sure the remote sensor is not exposed  
to strong light such as direct sunlight or  
fluorescent lamp light.  
Tape Player  
The tape does not move when you press  
an operation button.  
• Close the tape compartment securely.  
• Move closer to the player when using the  
remote.  
The REC z button does not function.  
The tape does not play.  
• Make sure the safety tab on the cassette is in  
place.  
After trying the above remedies, if you still have  
problems, unplug the AC power cord and remove  
all the batteries. After all the indications in the  
display disappear, plug the power cord and insert  
the batteries again. If the problem persists, please  
consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
The tape does not erase completely.  
• Clean the erasing head (see page 29).  
• Replace all the batteries with new ones if  
they are weak.  
• The source which was recorded on TYPE II  
(high position) or TYPE IV (metal) tape  
using this unit is being played. Record on  
TYPE I (normal) tape and play.

Demagnetizing the tape heads  
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual  
magnetism will have built up on the tape  
heads to begin to cause loss of high  
frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you  
should demagnetize the heads and all metal  
parts in the tape path with a commercially  
available tape head demagnetizer.  
Maintenance  
Cleaning the lens  
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a  
skipping of sound during CD operation.  
Clean with a commercially available blower.  
Cleaning the tape heads and  
tape path  
Cleaning the cabinet  
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.  
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the  
capstan with a cleaning swab slightly  
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol  
after every 10 hours of operation for  
optimum playback and recording quality. To  
make the best possible recording, however,  
we recommend that you clean all surfaces  
over which tape travels before each  
recording.
