Precautions
On safety
¢ As the laser beam used in the CD player section is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
¢ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug
the player, and have it checked by qualified personne!
before operating it any further.
On power sources
¢ For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not
use any other type.
¢ For battery operation, use eight size D (R20) batteries.
¢ Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
¢ When the operational batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by
battery leakage or corrosion.
e The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located at the rear.
On placement
© Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
On operation
e If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD player section.
Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
° 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 CD or cassette.
Note on using a cassette with more than 90 minutes of
play time
The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play
time is not recommended except for long, continuous
recording or playback.
if you have any questions or problems conceming your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Maintenance
Cleaning the iens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound
during CD operation. Clean with a commercially available
blower.
Cleaning the tape heads and tape path
Contaminated heads cause poor recording or sound drop-
out in playback. We recommend cleaning after every 10
hours of operation. To make the best possible recording,
however, you should clean all surfaces over which tape
travels before each recording.
Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a
cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or
alcohol.
Playback head Capstan
Pinch roller
Erase head Record/ Capstan
playback
head
Pinch roller
After cleaning the heads, rollers and the tape path, insert a
tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism
will have built up on the heads to begin to cause loss of
high frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you should
demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path
with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer.
Cleaning the cabinet
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 benzene.

Notes on Compact Discs
¢ Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the CD from the center out.
¢ Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyi LPs.
¢ Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
¢ After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may
cause tracking error.
