tape quickly. You can even locate a specific point
anywhere on a tape.
Note
Check the direction indication of the tape. When you locate
a track on the reverse side (when “ ª” lights up), press the
button(s) in the parentheses.

What happens during Multi-AMS operation
When Multi-AMS is operating, “PLAY” appears. And each
time the deck detects a blank space, the indicated number
decreases by one. After locating the beginning of the
specified track, the counter indication appears again and the
deck starts playing the track.

Notes
•The Multi-AMS function may not work correctly if:
— the blank space between tracks is less than 4 seconds
long.
— the signal strength of the left and right channels are
very different.
—there is a passage of low frequencies or very low
volume within a track.
•Since the counter is not a digital clock, it will differ from
the actual elapsed playback or recording time.
•Even if DIRECTION is set to a, the deck stops when the

Adjusting Bias and Recording
Level Calibration
Automatically
Since there are many different types of cassettes on the
market, your tape deck automatically sets the
appropriate equalization characteristics and bias
current for each tape type (ATS: Automatic Tape
Selection). However, you can get better recording
results by doing the automatic bias current and the
recording level calibration.
5 Start the actual recording (see page 6).
To cancel the automatic calibration function
Press p.
If “AUTO CAL” flashes continuously
The automatic calibration procedure has been interrupted
by:
— The end of the tape. Turn the cassette over or rewind the
tape to a new position that allows recording of the test
tone.
— Damaged tape or dirty heads. Change the cassette or
clean and demagnetize the heads (see page 11).
Updating the calibration setting
As long as the tape deck stays on, calibration data are
saved and called up each time you insert a cassette of
the same type (I, II or IV). “AUTO CAL” appears in
the display when you insert a cassette to indicate that
calibration data for that tape type exists. However, we
recommend that you repeat the automatic calibraion
procedure each time you insert a new cassette since
cassettes of the same type also vary in their
characteristics. Before recalibrating, be sure to clear the
existing calibration data by pressing AUTO CAL until
“AUTO CAL” disappears from the display. Then start
from Step 2 of the automatic calibration procedure.

Inserting a Blank Space During
Recording (Record Muting)
You can insert a blank space of 4 seconds between each
track. The blank spaces between tracks let you locate
the track easily with the Multi-AMS function (see page

portions on the tape.

Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an
electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating
voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet.
To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On operation
• Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will
not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed,
if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette
has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck.
Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.
On placement
• Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.
• Do not place the tape deck:
— on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the
ventilation holes on the bottom.
— in a location near heat sources.
— in a place subject to direct sunlight.
— in an inclined position.
— in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.
On cleaning the tape deck
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 benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on Cassette Tapes
To protect the recording
Break off the record-protect tab for side A or B.
Side A
Tab for side B
Tab for side A
To record on a tape having a broken tab
Cover the record-protect tab hole for side A or B with
adhesive tape.
When you are using a type II or type IV tape, be careful not
to cover the slots that the deck uses to determine the tape
type.
Type II
Type IV
Detector slots
Detector slots
On tapes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90
minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback.
They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.
On handling cassettes
• To prevent the heads and tape path from getting dirty,
avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette.
• Place cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such
as speakers and amplifiers; it may cause tape distortion or
erase the recordings.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperature or moisture.

Cleaning the heads and tape path
Clean the heads and tape path of the tape deck after
every 10 hours of operation to guard against:
• a decrease in sound level
• excessive wow or flutter
• sound dropout
• incomplete erasure
To ensure better recording, we recommend that you
clean the heads and tape path before every recording.
1 Press § EJECT to open the cassette holder.
2 With the tape deck turned off, wipe the heads, the
pinch roller, and the capstan with a cotton swab
slightly moistened with alcohol or a commercially
available cleaning fluid for tape decks.
Do not insert a cassette until the cleaned areas are
completely dry.
Demagnetizing the heads
After 20 to 30 hours of use, or when you notice a
hissing sound or loss of high frequencies, demagnetize
the heads with a commercially available demagnetizer
for tape decks. Please refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizer.

ATS
Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets
the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current
according to the tape type inserted in the deck.
Automatic calibration
The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording
level for the inserted tape.
This adjustment works together with the deck’s ATS
(Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best
possible recording results on any tape.
Dolby HX PRO system
Distortion and noise reduction system. The Dolby HX PRO
system reduces distortion and noise in high-frequency
response while recording. A tape recorded with this system
brings the same high-quality sound even when you play the
tape on the other tape decks.
Dolby NR (noise reduction) system
Noise reduction system for eliminating hissing noise. The
Dolby NR system boosts the low-level signals in high
frequency during recording and restores them during
playback.
B and C Dolby systems are available on this tape deck. Of
the two, C provides higher noise reduction than B.
