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.

Supplied card remote commander complies

with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1)

This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept

any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

You are cautioned that any changes or

modifications not expressly approved in this

manual could void your authority to operate

this equipment.

Notes on Cassettes

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.

• Do not use the Custom file feature while

driving, or perform any other function which

could divert your attention from the road.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

To maintain high quality 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.
