Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(European model only)
What is the Radio Data System?
Radio Data System (RDS)* is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you have
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly
or if the signal is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they all provide the same type of services. If you
are not familiar with the RDS system, check with
your local radio stations for details on RDS services
in your area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name appears in the
display.

your system in order to enhance it. Make sure
that the color of the plugs matches that of the
connectors.
To the audio output jacks on
your MD deck/VCR
To the digital input connector
on your MD deck*
* If the jack is covered with a cap, remove it before
use.
To
Do This

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.
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
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback
• 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.
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording
condition or the driver’s characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording, cannot be played back.
Music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies
• 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.
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright
protection technologies are marketed by some record
companies. Please be aware that among those discs,
there are some that do not conform to the CD
standard and may not be playable by this product.
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
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
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.
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
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 heat buildup
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction.
Break off the
cassette tab
• 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.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole for the cooling fan.
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.
• 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.

Before placing a cassette in the tape
deck
Troubleshooting
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape
may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing
mechanism and become damaged.
Should you encounter a problem with your
system, do the following:
1 Make sure the power cord and speaker cords
are correctly and firmly connected.
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.
too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the
tape deck’s playing mechanism.
2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting
checklist below and take the indicated
corrective action.
If the problem persists after doing all of the
above, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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.
General
There is no sound from the speakers.
• Adjust the volume.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
• The headphones are connected.
• Check the speaker connections.
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.
There is severe hum or noise.
• A TV or VCR is placed too close to the unit.
Move the unit away from the TV or VCR.
“--:--” appears in the display.
• A power interruption has occurred. Set the clock
(see page 7) and timer settings (see pages 15 and
18) again.
The timer does not function.
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page 7).
• You cannot operate the Daily Timer and the
timer recording at the same time.
“c DAILY” and “c REC” do not appear when
you press TIMER SELECT on the remote.
• Make sure each timer is correctly set (see pages
15 and 18).
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page 7).
The color on the TV screen is irregular.
• Move the speakers farther away from the TV set.
The remote does not work.
• There is an obstacle between the remote and the
unit.
• You are not pointing the remote in the direction
of the system’s sensor.
• The batteries in the remote have run down.
Replace the batteries.
• Make sure that the batteries are inserted
correctly.

Tuner
There is a severe hum or noise (“TUNED” or
“STEREO” flashes).
Speakers
• Adjust the antenna.
Sound comes from only one channel, or the left
and right volumes are unbalanced.
• The signal strength is too weak. Connect an
external antenna.
• Check the speaker connections and placement.
