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.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off
(U.S.A. and Canadian models only).
• 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.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
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
loaded into the cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape
deck. Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.
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.
Additional Information
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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your tape deck, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
