Precautions

• Before operating the unit for the first time or

after replacing the car battery, press the reset

button with a ball-point pen etc., and then

start operating the unit.

• If your car is parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, 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.

Reset button

• If no sound comes from the speakers of a

2-speaker system, set the fader control to the

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

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

any dirt or dust contaminates the heads.

• Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion of the

recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.

• When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette shell may become warm

because of the built-in power amplifier. This

is not a sign of a malfunction.

Notes on Cassette Deck Tape Heads

• Long use of cassette tapes contaminates the

tape head causing poor sound quality or

complete sound dropout. Therefore, we

recommend cleaning the tape head once a

month or so with the separately available

Sony Cassette Cleaning Set. If the sound does

not improve after using a cleaning cassette,

please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• In case of old or inferior cassette tapes, the

tape head gets contaminated much more

quickly. Depending on the tape, one or two

playbacks may cause poor sound.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tapes used for these cassettes are

very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to be pulled into the cassette

deck mechanism.
