On tape

On the headphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also
be potentially dangerous to play your recorder at high volume while walking,
especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears,
reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Use the AVLS function to avoid excessive pressure to your ears.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside
sounds and to be considerate of the people around you.
On moisture condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may
condense inside the unit. In this condition, the tape may adhere to the head
drum and be damaged, or the unit may not operate correctly. Always remove
the cassette tape when the unit is not being used.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
To prevent accidental erasure
After recording, push the red tab on the side of the tape you want to protect
using a pointed object. If you try to record with the tab pushed down,
"PROTECT" appears in the display and the recorder does not enter the
recording mode.
To record over the previous recording, push the white tab on the opposite side
of the cassette with a pointed object (page 31).
