Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette

Player.

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 centre 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 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.

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.

RDS

Overview of the RDS

function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows FM stations to send

additional digital information along with the

regular radio programme signal. Your car

stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are

just a few: retuning the same programme

automatically, listening to traffic

announcements, and locating a station by

programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of

the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength

is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station

name

The name of the current station lights up in the

display.

Select an FM station (page 7).

When you tune in an FM station that

transmits RDS data, the station name

appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is

being received.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes

as follows:

Station Name* (Frequency) y Clock

* When you tune in an FM station that transmits

RDS data, the station name appears.

Note

“NO NAME” appears if the received station does

not transmit RDS data.

Retuning the same

programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function

automatically selects and retunes the station

with the strongest signal in a network. By

using this function, you can continuously

listen to the same programme during a long-

distance drive without having to retune the

station manually.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (AF), the item changes as

follows:

AF-ON y AF-OFF

Notes

• When “NO AF” and the station name flash

alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an

alternative station in the network.

• If the station name starts flashing after selecting

a station with the AF function on, this indicates

that no alternative frequency is available. Press

either side of (SEEK/MANU) while the station

name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit

starts searching for another frequency with the

same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI

SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit

cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears,

and the unit returns to the previously selected

frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG-ON” (regional on) function lets you

stay tuned to a regional programme without

being switched to another regional station.

announcement starts, the volume will be

automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Press the volume button to adjust the

desired volume level.

2 Press (TA) for two seconds.

“TA” appears and the setting is stored.

Receiving emergency

announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while

you are listening to the radio, the programme

will automatically switch to it. If you are

listening to a source other than the radio, the

emergency announcements will be heard if

you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then

automatically switch to these announcements

no matter which source you are listening to at

the time.

Listening to traffic

announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic

Programme (TP) data let you automatically

tune in an FM station that is broadcasting

traffic announcements even if you are listening

to other programme sources.

Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON”

appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations. “TP” appears in the

display when the unit finds a station

broadcasting traffic announcements.

When the traffic announcement starts,

“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the

traffic announcement is over.

Tip

If the traffic announcement starts while you are

listening to another programme source, the unit

automatically switches to the announcement and

goes back to the original source when the

announcement is over.

Notes

•

“NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received

station does not broadcast traffic announcements.

Then, the unit starts searching for a station that

broadcasts it.

• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,

the current station makes use of broadcast traffic

announcements by other stations in the same

network.

To cancel the current traffic

announcement

Press (TA).

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off

the function by pressing (TA) until

“TA-OFF” appears.

12

Presetting the RDS

stations with the AF and

TA data

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores

each station’s data as well as its frequency, so

you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA

function every time you tune in the preset

station. You can select a different setting (AF,

TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or

the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all

preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 7).

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON”

and/or “TA-ON.”

Note that selecting “AF-OFF” or “TA-OFF”

stores not only RDS stations, but also non-

RDS stations.

3 Press (SENS) (BTM) until “BTM” flashes.

Presetting different settings for

each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station.

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON”

and/or “TA-ON.”

3 Press the desired number button until

“MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 to preset other stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA

setting after you tune in the preset station, you

can do so by turning the AF or TA function on or

off.

Danke, daß Sie sich für dieses

Autokassettenradio von Sony entschieden

Sicherheitsmaßnahmen

•Wenn Sie Ihr Auto direkt in der Sonne

geparkt haben und die Temperatur im

Wageninneren sehr hoch ist, lassen Sie das

Gerät zunächst etwas abkühlen, bevor Sie es

benutzen.

•Wenn die Stromversorgung des Geräts

unterbrochen ist, überprüfen Sie zunächst die

Anschlüsse. Sind diese in Ordnung,

überprüfen Sie die Sicherung.

•Wenn bei einem Zwei-Lautsprecher-System

über diese Lautsprecher kein Ton

ausgegeben wird, stellen Sie den Fader-

Regler in die mittlere Position.

•Wenn die Kassette längere Zeit

wiedergegeben wird, kann sie sich aufgrund

des integrierten Endverstärkers erwärmen.

Dabei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine

Fehlfunktion.

Wenn Sie Fragen haben oder an Ihrem Gerät

Probleme auftauchen, die in dieser

Bedienungsanleitung nicht behandelt werden,

wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren Sony-Händler.

So vermeiden Sie eine

Verringerung der Klangqualität

Ist neben der Autostereoanlage ein

Getränkehalter angebracht, so achten Sie

darauf, keine Säfte oder andere zuckerhaltige

Getränke auf die Anlage zu verschütten.

Zuckerrückstände in der Anlage oder auf den

Kassettenbändern können die

Wiedergabeköpfe verschmutzen, zu einer

verringerten Klangqualität führen oder die

Wiedergabe ganz unmöglich machen.

Zuckerrückstände lassen sich auch mit

Reinigungskassetten nicht von den Tonköpfen

entfernen.

Willkommen! Umgang mit Kassetten

Pflege von Kassetten

•Berühren Sie nicht das Band in einer

Kassette. Andernfalls lagern sich Schmutz-

oder Staubpartikel auf den Tonköpfen ab.

•Halten Sie Kassetten von Geräten mit

eingebauten Magneten, zum Beispiel

Lautsprechern und Verstärkern, fern.

Andernfalls kann die Aufnahme auf dem

Band gelöscht oder beschädigt werden.

•Setzen Sie Kassetten weder direktem

Sonnenlicht noch großer Kälte oder

Feuchtigkeit aus.

•Wenn das Band nicht gespannt ist, kann es

sich im Gerät verfangen. Straffen Sie deshalb

vor dem Einlegen einer Kassette das Band,

indem Sie die Spule mit einem Stift oder

einem ähnlichen Gegenstand drehen.

•Beschädigte Kassetten und lose Aufkleber

können beim Einlegen oder Auswerfen von

Kassetten Probleme verursachen. Entfernen

Sie lose Aufkleber, oder tauschen Sie sie aus.

• Während der Wiedergabe der Kassette kann

es vorkommen, daß der Ton verzerrt ist. Der

Tonkopf des Kassettenrecorders sollte nach

jeweils 50 Gebrauchsstunden gereinigt

werden.
