instruction manual.
Warning
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in this
manual could void your authority to operate
this equipment.

Not es on Casset t es
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.
•The sound may become distorted while
playing the cassette. The cassette player head
should be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.
Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is
not recommended except for long continuous
play. The tape used for these cassettes is very
thin and tends to stretch easily. Frequent
playing and stopping of these tapes may cause
them to become entangled in the cassette deck
mechanism.
Slack
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 center position.
•When a tape is played back for a long period,
the cassette may become warm because of
the built-in power amplifier. However, this is
not a sign of malfunction.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
To m aintain high qualit y 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 cannot remove sugar
from the tape heads.

Précautions
• Si votre voiture est parquée en plein soleil et
si la température à l’intérieur de l’habitacle a
considérablement augmenté, laissez refroidir
l’appareil avant de l’utiliser.
• Si l’appareil n’est pas alimenté, vérifiez
d’abord les connexions. Si tout est en ordre,
vérifiez le fusible.
• Si aucun son n’est diffusé par les haut-
parleurs d’un système à deux haut-parleurs,
réglez la commande de balance de volume
avant-arrière sur la position centrale.
• Si la cassette est reproduite pendant une
longue durée, il se peut qu’elle s’échauffe en
raison de la proximité de l’amplificateur de
puissance intégré. Il ne s’agit cependant pas
d’un dysfonctionnement.
Si vous avez des questions ou des problèmes
concernant le fonctionnement de cet appareil
qui ne sont pas abordés dans le présent mode
d’emploi, consultez votre revendeur Sony.
Pour préserver la qualité sonore
Si les porte-gobelets se trouvent à proximité de
votre installation audio, veillez à ce qu’aucune
éclaboussure de jus de fruit ou de boisson
rafraîchissante ne soit projetée sur votre
autoradio. Des résidus de sucre sur cet
appareil ou sur la bande magnétique d’une
cassette risquent d’encrasser les têtes de
lecture, entraînant ainsi une altération de la
qualité sonore ou empêchant carrément la
reproduction sonore.
Les cassettes de nettoyage ne permettent pas
d’éliminer les résidus de sucre sur les têtes de
lecture.
