Additional Information  
Precautions  
AM antenna  
Connect a 6- to 15- meter insulated wire to the  
AM antenna terminal. Leave the supplied AM  
loop antenna connected.  
On safety  
Jack type A  
• 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 mains if it is not to be  
used for an extended period of time.  
Insulated wire (not  
supplied)  
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 (mains lead) must be changed only  
at the qualified service shop.  
• When you connect the power cord to the AC power  
source, even if the power is off, the system begins  
charging for remote and timer functions. Therefore  
the surface of this unit become warm, this is  
normal.  
Jack type B  
Insulated wire (not  
supplied)  
On placement  
• 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.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build up.  
• 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.  
Important  
If you connect an external antenna, connect a  
ground wire to the U terminal. To prevent a gas  
explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas  
pipe.

Precautions (continued)  
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 or the MD deck. Should this occur, the  
system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or  
MD and leave the system turned on for about an  
hour until the moisture evaporates.  
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.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car  
parked in direct sunlight.  
• When you move the system, take out any discs.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild  
detergent solution.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
Before placing a cassette in the  
tape deck  
On the speaker 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 TV set, such as audio  
racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause  
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their  
interaction with the system.  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape  
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and  
become damaged.  
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.  
Notes on MDs  
• If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be  
damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately  
without touching the disc inside.  
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.  
• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the  
specified label indentation. Do not affix the label  
around the shutter or in other locations. Note that  
the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.

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 deck to automatically detect the type of tape.  
System limitations of  
MDs  
TYPE II (CrO2)  
TYPE I (normal)  
The recording system in your MD deck has the  
limitations described below.  
Note, however, that these limitations are due to  
the inherent nature of the MD recording system  
itself, not to mechanical causes.  
“Disc Full!!” appears before the  
MD has reached the maximum  
recording time  
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,  
“Disc Full!!” appears regardless of the total recorded  
time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the  
MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks  
or use another recordable MD.  
Detector slots  
Cleaning the tape heads  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.  
When the tape heads become dirty;  
— the sound is distorted  
— there is a decrease in sound level  
— the sound drops out  
— the tape does not erase completely  
— the tape does not record.  
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.  
“Disc Full!!” appears before the  
maximum number of tracks (255)  
is reached  
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes  
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track  
count and causing “Disc Full!!” to appear.  
Demagnetising the tape heads  
The remaining recording time  
does not increase even after  
erasing numerous short tracks  
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are not counted, so  
erasing them may not increase the recording time.  
Demagnetise the tape heads and the metal parts that  
has contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of  
use with a separately sold demagnetising cassette. For  
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetising  
cassette.  
Some tracks cannot be  
combined with others  
Track combination may become impossible when  
tracks are shorter than 8 seconds. Track combination  
of edited tracks may also become impossible.  
The total recorded time and the  
remaining time on the MD do not  
add up to the maximum  
recording time  
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds  
each, no matter how short the material. The recorded  
contents may be shorter than the maximum recording  
capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by  
scratches.

Troubleshooting  
The sound may drop-out while  
searching the edited tracks  
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound  
dropout during searching because high-speed  
playback requires time to search for the position on  
the disc when the tracks are not in order.  
If you have any problem using this system, use the  
following checklist.  
First, check that the power cord is connected  
firmly and that the speakers are connected  
correctly and firmly.  
Should any problem persist, consult your nearest  
Sony dealer.  
Track numbers cannot be  
marked  
When “LEVEL-SYNC” (page 37) lights up in the  
display window during analog recording, the track  
numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the  
track:

Guide to the Serial Copy  
Management System  
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and  
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by  
processing music as a digital signal.  
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this  
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that  
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally  
recorded source through digital-to-digital  
connections.  
• Connect the supplied speakers.  
Thereisseverehumornoise.  
• Move the system away from the source of  
noise.  
You can make only a first generation copy*  
through a digital-to-digital connection.  
That is:  
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available  
digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD),  
but you cannot make a second copy from the first-  
generation copy.  
• Connect the system to a different wall outlet.  
• Install a noise filter (commercially available)  
to the power line.  
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a  
digitally recorded analog sound program (for  
example, an analog record or a music cassette tape)  
or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but  
you cannot make a second copy.
