Precautions
To sa ve a t a p e p e rm a n e n t ly
On o p e ra t in g vo lt a g e
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage of your system is identical with
the voltage of your local power supply.
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.
On sa fe t y
• 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.
When you are using a TYPE II (CrO2) or TYPE IV
(metal) cassette, be careful not to cover the detector
slots which allow the tape player to automatically
detect the type of tape.
• 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 mains lead must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
Detector slots
On p la ce m e n t
• 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
continued
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Vibrating
— Subject to direct sunlight
On o p e ra t io n
• 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.
No t e s o n CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the centre 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.
