Welcome !
Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette
Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of
features as well as a supplied rotary
commander or an optional wireless remote.
In addition to the cassette playback and radio
operations, you can expand your system by
connecting an optional CD/MD unit*1.
When you connect an optional CD unit with
the CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT
information will appear in the display when
you play a CD TEXT disc*2.
*1You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer,
a CD player, or an MD player.
*2A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes
information such as the disc name, artist name,
and track names.
This information is recorded on the disc.
Voice guide for safe driving
(XR-C8220R only)
This unit has a voice guide function*. When
the voice guide function is on, the unit gives
vocalized comments on functions
corresponding to the relevant button pushed.
These comments can be vocalized in either
English or Spanish.
*Some optional power amplifiers may cause a
break at the beginning of vocalized comments.
When you connect an optional MD changer, the
sound from the first MD may continue for a short
time even after the vocalized comments about
the second MD are announced.

RDS
Overview of the RDS
function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows FM stations to send
additional digital information along with the
regular radio programme signal. Your car
stereo uses this system to offer you a variety of
services. Here are just a few: retuning to the
same programme automatically, listening to
traffic announcements, and locating a station
by programme type.
Notes
• Depending on the country or region, not all of
the RDS functions are available.
• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength
is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.
Displaying the station
name
The name of the current station lights up in the
display.
Select an FM station (page 10).
When you tune in an FM station that
transmits RDS data, the station name
appears in the display.

as follows:
”AF on ”TA on ”AF TA on*
AF TA off “
*Select this to turn on both the AF and TA
functions.
Notes
• If “NO AF” and the station name flash
alternately, this indicates that the unit cannot
find an alternative station in the network.
• If the station name starts flashing after selecting
a station with the AF function on, this indicates
that no alternative frequency is available. Push
the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the
station name is flashing (within eight seconds).
The unit starts searching for another frequency
with the same PI (Programme Identification) data
(“PI seek” appears and no sound is heard). If the
unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI”
appears, and the unit returns to the previously
selected frequency.
Listening to a regional programme
The “REG on” (regional on) function lets you
stay tuned to a regional programme without
being switched to another regional station.
(Note that you must turn the AF function on.)
The unit is factory preset to “REG on,” but if
you want to turn off the function, do the
following.
1During radio reception, press (SHIFT),
then press (4) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly
until “REG” appears.
2Press (5) (n) repeatedly until “REG off”
appears.
3Press (SHIFT).

announcement starts, the volume will be
automatically adjusted to the preset level.
1Select the desired volume level.
2Press (AF/TA) for two seconds.
”TA“ appears and the setting is stored.
Receiving emergency
announcements
If an emergency announcement comes in while
you are listening to the radio, the programme
will automatically switch to it. If you are
listening to a source other than the radio, the
emergency announcements will be heard if
you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then
automatically switch to these announcements
no matter which source you are listening to at
the time.
Listening to traffic
announcements
The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic
Programme (TP) data let you automatically
tune in an FM station that is broadcasting
traffic announcements even if you are listening
to other programme sources.
Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or
“AF TA on” appears.
The unit starts searching for traffic
information stations. “TP” appears in the
display when the unit finds a station
broadcasting traffic announcements.
When the traffic announcement starts,
“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the
traffic announcement is over.
Tip
If the traffic announcement starts while you are
listening to another programme source, the unit
automatically switches to the announcement and
goes back to the original source when the
announcement is over.
Notes
•
“NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received
station does not broadcast traffic announcements.
Then, the unit starts searching for a station that
broadcasts traffic announcements.
• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,
the current station makes use of broadcast it by
other stations in the same network.
To cancel the current traffic
announcement
Press (AF/TA) or (SOURCE).
To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off
the function by pressing (AF/TA) until
“AF TA off” appears.

15
Recording the traffic
announcements
(XR-C8220R only)
—Traffic Information Replay (TIR)
You can listen to the latest traffic
announcements by recording them. The unit
automatically records and stores up to eight
traffic announcements. If the recording
exceeds four minutes, the recorded
announcements are updated, so you can
always hear the latest information.
The TIR function turns on the unit
automatically and records the traffic
announcements for up to two hours before and
after a preset time.
Presetting the time and the station
1Press and hold (TIR) until “TIR” lights up

3Set the minute by rotating the dial.
continue to next page n
Presetting the RDS
stations with the AF and
TA data
When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores
each station’s data as well as its frequency, so
you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA
function every time you tune in the preset
station. You can select a different setting (AF,
TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or
the same setting for all preset stations.
Presetting the same setting for all
preset stations
1Select an FM band (page 10).
2Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either
“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both
AF and TA functions).
Note that selecting “AF TA off” stores not
only RDS stations, but also non-RDS
stations.
3Press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY
MODE) repeatedly until “B.T.M” appears.
4Press (5) (n) until “B.T.M” flashes.
5Press (SHIFT).
Presetting different settings for
each preset station
1Select an FM band, and tune in the
desired station.
2Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either
“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both
AF and TA functions).
3Press the desired number button and
hold until “MEM” appears.
Repeat from step 1 for presetting other
stations.
Tip
If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA
setting after you tune in the preset station, you
can do so by turning the AF or TA function on or
off.

tlights up.
The unit turns on automatically and stands
by for traffic announcements for four hours
(two hours before and after the preset
time).
If the preset station does not broadcast the
traffic announcement while searching, the
unit starts searching for other traffic
programme (TP) stations.
To cancel the TIR function
Select “TIR off” in step 2 above.
Tips
• While the unit is recording the traffic
announcement, tand “TA” flash.
• If the unit still cannot find a TP station, it starts a
new search every five minutes until it finds one.
• If you pull out the ignition key while the TIR
function is on, "TIR on" and tflash a few times.
Notes
• The unit also stands by for traffic
announcements for two hours after you turn off
the engine, as long as the TIR function is on.
• If you have a power aerial, it automatically
extends every time the unit searches for a traffic
programme station.
If you have a manual aerial, make sure that the
aerial is fully extended.
• If you do not use your car for about ten days, the
TIR function will turn off automatically to avoid
battery wear, even if the TIR function is on.
