Choosing Power Sources

Precautions

On safety/power sources

· Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

player, unplug the player, and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it any

further.

· Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is

not to be used for an extended period of time.

· For battery operation, use four size D (R20)

batteries.

· When the batteries are not to be used, remove

them to avoid damage that can be caused by

battery leakage or corrosion.

· The nameplate indicating operating voltage,

power consumption, etc. is located at the bottom.

On placement/operation

· Do not leave the player in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust or mechanical shock.

· Do not place anything within 10 mm of the rear

side of the unit. The ventilation holes must be

unobstructed for the player to operate properly

and to prolong the life of its components.

· Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers,

keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding

or spring-wound watches away from the player to

prevent possible damage from the magnet.

· Do not lift the handle when the telescopic

antenna is extended.

· If the player has not been used for a long time, set

it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few

minutes before inserting a cassette.

Notes on cassettes

· Break off the cassette

tab from side A or B

to prevent accidental

recording. If you

want to reuse the

tape for recording,

cover the broken tab

with adhesive tape.

of play time is not recommended except for long,

continuous recording or playback.

If you have questions or problems concerning your

player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
