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.
• 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 operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply.
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 (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.
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.
• 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 B
Tab of side A
Side A
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
Break off the
cassette tab of
side A
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
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.
— Subject to direct sunlight
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.
Tape type:
CrO2/METAL
NORMAL
• 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.

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.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter a problem with your
system, do the following:
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.
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.
If the problem persists after doing all of the above,
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
When the tape heads become dirty
— the sound becomes distorted
General
— the sound level decreases
There is no sound from the speakers.
• Adjust VOLUME.
• The headphones are connected.
• Check the speaker connections.
— the sound drops out
— the tape does not erase completely
— the tape does not record
Make sure to clean the tape heads before making an
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use
a commercially available dry-type or wet-type
cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions
of the cleaning cassette.
There is severe hum or noise.
• A TV or VCR is placed too close to the unit.
Move the unit away from the TV or VCR.
“0:00” (or “AM 12:00”) flashes in the
display.
• A power interruption has occurred. Set the
clock (see page 6) and timer settings (see
pages 24 and 26) again.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours
of use with a commercially available demagnetizing
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing cassette.
The timer does not function.
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page
6).
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
“c DAILY” and “c REC” do not appear
when you press TIMER SELECT on the
remote.
• Make sure each timer is correctly set (see
pages 24 and 26).
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page
6).
The color on the TV screen is irregular.
• Move the speakers farther away from the TV
set.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Tape Deck
Recording cannot be done.
• There is no tape in cassette holder B.
• The record protect tab has been removed from
the cassette (see page 28).
• The tape has come to the end.
The remote does not work.
• There is an obstacle between the remote and
the unit.
• You are not pointing the remote in the
direction of the system’s sensor.
The tape does not record or play, or there
is a decrease in sound level.

on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
Play does not start from the first track.
• Make sure that the antenna is connected
properly.
• Do not bend or roll up the antenna.
• The two wires comprising the FM antenna
have been pulled further apart since the
system was first purchased. Repair or replace
with a new one.
• The player is in Program or Shuffle Play.
Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until “PGM”
and “SHUFFLE” disappear.
• The AM antenna wire is detached from the
