Precautions  
Notes on Cassettes  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your unit that are not covered in  
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony  
dealer.  
Slack  
To m a in t a in h ig h q u a lit y so u n d  
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.  
Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause  
problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.  
Remove or replace loose labels.  
Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar  
from the tape heads.  
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.
