Additional Information  
Discs with non- standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this unit. Do not use such  
discs.  
Precautions  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild  
detergent solution.  
On operating voltage  
Before operating the unit, check that the operating  
voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
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.  
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.  
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 unit from the wall outlet (mains) if it is  
not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
component, unplug the unit and have the  
component checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
Detector slots  
The AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.

On heat buildup  
Although the unit heats up during the operation,  
this is not the malfunction.  
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.  
Place the unit in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.  
If you continuously use this unit at a large volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
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.  
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape  
deck.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for cooling fan.  
On operation  
If the unit 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 unit will not operate properly.  
Remove the CD and leave the unit turned on for  
about an hour until the moisture evaporates.  
Cleaning the tape heads  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.  
Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an  
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use  
separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette.  
For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning  
cassette.  
When you move the unit, take out any discs.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads  
Notes on CDs  
Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out.  
Do not use solvents.  
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that  
have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use  
with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For  
details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing  
cassette.  
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources.
