				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. This tuner offers convenient   
					RDS features like station name and program   
					type* display. RDS is available only on FM   
					stations.**   
					Note   
					RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned   
					in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the   
					signal is weak.   
					* The types of programs include NEWS, AFFAIRS   
					(current news), INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE   
					(education programs), DRAMA, CULTURE,   
					SCIENCE, VARIED (interviews, games and   
					comedy), POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,   
					CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,   
					CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,   
					TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY (country   
					music), NATION M (nation’s popular music),   
					OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT (investigative   
					features), TEST (test signal for emergency   
					broadcast), ALARM (emergency broadcast) and   
					NONE (any programs not defined above).   
					**Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do   
					they provide the same types 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.   
					To check the RDS information   
					Each time you press DISPLAY, the display   
					changes cyclically as follows:   
					Station name* t Frequency t Program   
					type* t Clock display t Effect name   
					* If the RDS broadcast is not received, the station   
					name and program type may not appear in the   
					display.

				Additional Information   
					On heat build up   
					• Although the system heats up during operation, this   
					is not a malfunction.   
					Precautions   
					• 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.   
					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.   
					To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation   
					hole for the cooling fan.   
					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 if it is not to   
					be used for an extended period of time.   
					On operation   
					• If the 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.   
					To disconnect the power cord, 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.   
					• When you move the system, take out any discs.   
					If you have any questions or problems concerning   
					your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.   
					On placement   
					On the speaker system   
					• Make sure the system fan is on during use.   
					Place the system in a location with adequate air   
					circulation, and do not place anything on top of the   
					system.   
					This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and   
					the picture on TV sets may become magnetically   
					distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV   
					set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.   
					If there seems to be no improvement, locate the   
					speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,   
					be sure not to place objects in which magnets are   
					attached or used near the speaker system, such as   
					audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause   
					magnetic distortion to the picture due to their   
					interaction with the system.   
					• 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   
					— 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.

				Precautions (continued)   
					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.   
					Notes on CDs   
					• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.   
					Wipe the CD from the center out.   
					• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as   
					this may damage the player.   
					Side A   
					Tab of side A   
					• Do not use solvents.   
					• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat   
					sources.   
					Tab of side B   
					• Discs 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.   
					Break off the   
					cassette tab of   
					side A   
					Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback   
					Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be   
					played back because of scratches, dirt, recording   
					condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the   
					discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of   
					recording, cannot be played back.   
					If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover   
					the broken tab with adhesive tape.   
					Cleaning the cabinet   
					Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild   
					detergent solution.   
					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.   
					Cleaning the tape heads   
					Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.   
					Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an   
					important recording or after playing an old tape.   
					Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning   
					cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the   
					cleaning cassette.   
					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   
					frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape   
					deck.   
					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 separately sold demagnetizing cassette.   
					For details, refer to the instructions of the   
					demagnetizing cassette.
