Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
(European model only)  
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. This tuner offers convenient  
RDS features like station name and program  
type* display. RDS is available only on FM  
stations.**  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned  
in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the  
signal is weak.  
* The types of programs include NEWS, AFFAIRS  
(current news), INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE  
(education programs), DRAMA, CULTURE,  
SCIENCE, VARIED (interviews, games and  
comedy), POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,  
CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,  
CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,  
TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY (country  
music), NATION M (nations popular music),  
OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT (investigative  
features), TEST (test signal for emergency  
broadcast), ALARM (emergency broadcast) and  
NONE (any programs not defined above).  
**Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do  
they 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.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the  
display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:  
Station name* t Frequency t Program  
type* t Clock display t Effect name  
* If the RDS broadcast is not received, the station  
name and program type may not appear in the  
display.

Additional Information  
On heat build up  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not a malfunction.  
Precautions  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build up in the system.  
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
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.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for the cooling fan.  
On safety  
• 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 if it is not to  
be used for an extended period of time.  
On operation  
• If the system 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. 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.  
To disconnect the power cord, 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.  
• When you move the system, take out any discs.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On placement  
On the speaker system  
• Make sure the system fan is on during use.  
Place the system in a location with adequate air  
circulation, and do not place anything on top of the  
system.  
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and  
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically  
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV  
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.  
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the  
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,  
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are  
attached or used near the speaker system, such as  
audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause  
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their  
interaction with the system.  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:  
— Extremely hot or cold  
— Dusty or dirty  
— Very humid  
— Subject to vibrations  
— Subject to direct sunlight.  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.

Precautions (continued)  
To save a tape permanently  
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded  
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as  
illustrated.  
Notes on CDs  
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out.  
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as  
this may damage the player.  
Side A  
Tab of side A  
• Do not use solvents.  
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources.  
Tab of side B  
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to  
do so may damage the system. Do not use such  
discs.  
Break off the  
cassette tab of  
side A  
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback  
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be  
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording  
condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the  
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of  
recording, cannot be played back.  
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover  
the broken tab with adhesive tape.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild  
detergent solution.  
Before placing a cassette in the tape  
deck  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape  
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and  
become damaged.  
Cleaning the tape heads  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.  
Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an  
important recording or after playing an old tape.  
Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning  
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the  
cleaning cassette.  
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  
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape  
deck.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads
