Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
(European model only)  
What is the Radio Data System?  
Radio Data System (RDS)* is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal.  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you have  
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly  
or if the signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do  
they all provide the same type of services. If you  
are not familiar with the RDS system, check with  
your local radio stations for details on RDS services  
in your area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the  
display.

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.  
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  
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback  
• 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.  
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be  
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording  
condition or the driver’s characteristics. Besides, the  
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of  
recording, cannot be played back.  
Music discs encoded with copyright  
protection technologies  
• 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.  
This product is designed to playback discs that  
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright  
protection technologies are marketed by some record  
companies. Please be aware that among those discs,  
there are some that do not conform to the CD  
standard and may not be playable by this product.  
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  
— Dusty or dirty  
— Very humid  
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.  
— Subject to vibrations  
— Subject to direct sunlight  
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on  
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,  
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the  
surface may result.  
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 heat buildup  
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is  
not a malfunction.  
Break off the  
cassette tab  
• 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.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for the cooling fan.  
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.  
• 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.

Before placing a cassette in the tape  
deck  
Troubleshooting  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape  
may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing  
mechanism and become damaged.  
Should you encounter a problem with your  
system, do the following:  
1 Make sure the power cord and speaker cords  
are correctly and firmly connected.  
When using a tape longer than 90  
minutes  
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 deck’s playing mechanism.  
2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting  
checklist below and take the indicated  
corrective action.  
If the problem persists after doing all of the  
above, consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
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.  
General  
There is no sound from the speakers.  
• Adjust the volume.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads  
• The headphones are connected.  
• Check the speaker connections.  
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.  
There is severe hum or noise.  
• A TV or VCR is placed too close to the unit.  
Move the unit away from the TV or VCR.  
“--:--” appears in the display.  
• A power interruption has occurred. Set the clock  
(see page 7) and timer settings (see pages 15 and  
18) again.  
The timer does not function.  
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page 7).  
• You cannot operate the Daily Timer and the  
timer recording at the same time.  
c DAILY” and “c REC” do not appear when  
you press TIMER SELECT on the remote.  
• Make sure each timer is correctly set (see pages  
15 and 18).  
• Make sure the clock is correctly set (see page 7).  
The color on the TV screen is irregular.  
• Move the speakers farther away from the TV set.  
The remote does not work.  
• There is an obstacle between the remote and the  
unit.  
• You are not pointing the remote in the direction  
of the system’s sensor.  
• The batteries in the remote have run down.
