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.
• 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, grasp the plug itself; never
pull the cord.
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.
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.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet “IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS”.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
To record on a tape with a missing record-protect tab
Cover the respective tab hole 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.

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 stretch 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, which may cause tape distortion or
erase the recordings.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperature, or moisture.
