Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If no sound comes from the speakers of a

two-speaker system, set the fader control to

the centre position.

•When a tape is played back for a long period,

the cassette may become warm because of

the built-in power amplifier. However, this is

not a sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary

residues on this unit or cassette tapes may

contaminate the playback heads, reduce the

sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar

from the tape heads.

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette

Player.

In addition to the cassette playback and radio

operations, you can expand your system by

connecting an optional CD/MD unit*1.

When you operate this unit or a connected

optional CD unit with the CD TEXT function,

the CD TEXT information will appear in the

display when you play a CD TEXT disc*2.

*1You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer,

a CD player, or an MD player.

*2A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes

information such as the disc name, artist name,

and track names.

This information is recorded on the disc.

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

•Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

•Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the

recorded tape could occur.

•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.

•Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the

tape, use a pencil or a similar object to turn

the reel and take up any slack.

•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

•The sound may become distorted while

playing the cassette. The cassette player head

should be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

Slack

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tape used for these cassettes is very

thin and tends to stretch easily. Frequent

playing and stopping of these tapes may cause

them to become entangled in the cassette deck

mechanism.
