Precautions

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.

Notes on CDs

Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static 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.

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 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 stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. The AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
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.

Detector slots

On placement
Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo system. Do not place the unit in an inclined position. Do not place the unit in locations where it is; Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Vibrating Subject to direct sunlight

Tab of side B

Tab of side A Side A Break off the cassette tab of side A

On operation

If the stereo 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. When you move the system, take out any discs. If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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.
Precautions (continued) 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.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any problem using this stereo system, use the following check list. First, check that the power cord is connected firmly and the speakers are connected correctly and firmly. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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.

General

The display starts flashing as soon as you plug in the power cord even though you havent turned on the power (demonstration mode). Press DISPLAY/DEMO when the power is turned off. The demonstration mode appears automatically the first time you plug in the power cord. If there is a power outage lasting longer than half a day, redo the following: Clock setting (see Step 2: Setting the time) Preset stations (see Step 3: Presetting radio stations) Timer settings (see Waking up to music and Timer-recording radio programs). There is no sound. Rotate VOLUME clockwise. The headphones are connected. Insert only the stripped portion of the speaker cord into the SPEAKER jack. Inserting the vinyl portion of the speaker cord will obstruct the speaker connections.

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 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.

Demagnetizing the tape heads
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.
There is severe hum or noise. A TV or VCR is placed too close to the stereo system. Move the stereo system away from the TV or VCR. The sound from the connected source is distorted. If VIDEO appears in the display when you press FUNCTION, switch the display to MD (see Note: Connecting a VCR). 0:00 (or 12:00) flashes in the display. A power interruption occurred. Set the clock and timer settings again. The timer does not function. Set the clock correctly. DAILY1, DAILY 2, and REC do not appear when you press the TIMER SELECT button. Set the timer correctly. Set the clock. The remote does not function. There is an obstacle between the remote and the system. The remote is not pointing in the direction of the systems sensor. The batteries have run down. Replace the batteries. There is acoustic feedback. Decrease the volume level. Move the microphone away form the speakers or change the direction of the microphone. The color irregularity on a TV screen persists. Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If the color irregularity still persists, place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

Speakers

Sound comes from one channel or unbalanced left and right volume. Check the speaker connection and speaker placement. Sound lacks bass. Check that the speakers + and jacks are connected correctly.

CD Player

The CD tray does not close. The CD is not placed properly. The CD will not play. The CD is not lying flat in the disc tray. The CD is dirty. The CD is inserted label side down. Moisture condensation has built up. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. Play does not start from the first track. The player is in program or shuffle mode. Press PLAY MODE repeatedly until PROGRAM or SHUFFLE disappear. OVER is displayed. You have reached the end of the CD. Press and hold 0 to return.
Troubleshooting (continued)
Severe hum or noise (TUNED or STEREO flashes in the display). Adjust the antenna. The signal strength is too weak. Connect the external antenna. A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo. Press STEREO/MONO so that STEREO appears.
