Problems and remedies (continued)  
Tuner  
There is a severe hum or noise (TUNEDor  
STEREOflashes).  
Adjust the antenna.  
The signal strength is too weak. Connect an  
external antenna.  
Make sure that the antenna is connected  
properly.  
Do not bend or roll up the antenna.  
The two wires comprising the FM antenna have  
been pulled further apart since the system was  
first purchased. Repair or replace with a new  
one.  
The AM antenna wire is detached from the stand.  
Keep the antennas as far away from the speaker  
cords as possible.  
A stereo FM program cannot be received in  
stereo.  
Press FM MODE on the remote until STEREO”  
appears in the display.  
Resetting the system  
With the system turned on, press TAPE x,

Additional Information  
Notes on CDs  
Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a  
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.  
Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives  
on any of its surfaces as this may damage the  
system.  
Do not use solvents.  
Do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight or heat  
sources.  
Disc with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting  
to do so may damage the system. Do not use such  
discs.  
Precautions  
On operating voltage  
Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
On safety  
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.  
Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
will not be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out  
by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
system, unplug the system and have it checked by  
qualified personnel before operating it any further.  
AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do  
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or  
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.  
To save a tape permanently  
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded  
over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B  
as illustrated.  
On placement  
Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
Do not place the system in locations where it is:  
Extremely hot or cold  
Break off the  
cassette tab  
Dusty or dirty  
Very humid  
Subject to vibrations  
Subject to direct sunlight  
On heat buildup  
Although the unit heats up during operation, this is  
not a malfunction.  
Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover  
the broken tab with adhesive tape.  
Before placing a cassette in the tape  
deck  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape  
may get entangled in the tape decks playing  
mechanism and become damaged.  
When using a tape longer than 90  
minutes  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for the cooling fan.  
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape  
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc.  
too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the  
tape decks playing mechanism.  
On operation  
If the system is brought directly from a cold place  
to a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not  
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the  
system turned on for about an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Cleaning the tape heads  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.  
Make sure to clean the tape heads before making an  
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use  
a commercially available dry-type or wet-type  
cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions  
of the cleaning cassette.  
When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be  
on the disc tray.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads  
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that  
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours  
of use with a commercially available demagnetizing  
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the  
demagnetizing cassette.
