Problems and remedies (continued)
Tuner
There is a severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes).
• Adjust the antenna.
• The signal strength is too weak. Connect an
external antenna.
• 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 AM antenna wire is detached from the stand.
• Keep the antennas as far away from the speaker
cords as possible.
A stereo FM program cannot be received in
stereo.
• Press FM MODE on the remote until “STEREO”
appears in the display.
Resetting the system
With the system turned on, press TAPE x,

Additional Information
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 use solvents.
• Do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Disc with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting
to do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
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.
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.
• 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.
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.
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.
On placement
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
Break off the
cassette tab
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
On heat buildup
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
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.
When using a tape longer than 90
minutes
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole for the cooling fan.
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.
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.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
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.
• 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.
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.
