Precautions

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight, allow

the unit to cool off before operating it.

• If no power is being supplied to the unit, check

the connections first. If everything is in order,

check the fuse.

• If no sound comes from the speakers of a two-

speaker system, set the fader control to the

centre position.

• When a tape is played back for a long period,

the cassette may become warm because of the

built-in power amplifier. However, this is not a

sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in this

manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

To maintain high quality sound

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks

onto the unit or tapes.

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

• Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the

recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.

• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the

tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the

reel and take up any slack.

• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

• The sound may become distorted while playing

the cassette. The cassette player head should be

cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes

is not recommended except for long

continuous play

The tape used for these cassettes is very thin and

tends to stretch easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to become entangled in the

cassette deck mechanism.
