Precautions
• If your car was 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.
• If no sound comes from the speakers of a
two-speaker system, set the fader control to
the centre position.
•If your car is equipped with a power aerial,
note that it will extend automatically while
the tuner function is selected.
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
If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary
residues on this unit or cassette tapes may
contaminate the playback heads, reduce the
sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction
altogether.
Cassette cleaning kits do not remove sugar
from the tape heads.
Notes on cassette deck tape head
•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.
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.
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.
