Additional Information

Precautions

On safety
• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an
electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating
voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.
• 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.
• If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On operation
• Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will
not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed,
if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette
has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.
Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.
On placement
• Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.
• Do not place the tape deck:
— on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the
ventilation holes on the bottom.
— in a location near heat sources.
— in a place subject to direct sunlight.
— in an inclined position.
— in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.
On cleaning the tape deck
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on Cassette Tapes

Tab for side B
To record on a tape having a broken tab
Cover the record-protect tab hole for side A or B with
adhesive tape.
When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not
to cover the detector slots that the deck uses to determine
the tape type.
Type II
Detector slots Detector slots
On tapes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90
minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback.
They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
On handling cassettes
• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty,
avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.
• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such
as speakers and amplifiers; it may cause tape distortion or
erase the recordings.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperature or moisture.
