Precautions (continued)

On operation

•If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

•If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a cassette.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

•Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

•Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

•Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.

•After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error.

Notes on cassettes

•Break off the cassette tab from side A or B to prevent accidental recording. If you want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Tab for side A

Tab for side B

•To record on a tape with its tab broken off, cover the respective tab hole for side A or B with adhesive tape.
