Getting Started

Setting the Clock

Your deck has a built-in clock to keep track of the current date and time. Once you set the date and time by the menu settings, this information will be recorded on the tape along with the audio signal during recording, allowing you to check the recording date time of the tape during playback at a later time.

Notes

•When you first set the clock after unpacking the deck,

“ ’-- -- -- -- “ will appear when you press the SET button in step 3. This is normal. Set the clock according to the procedures above.

•Your deck uses a back-up battery to keep the clock running when the power is turned off. The life of the battery under normal use is approximately seven years. When the battery starts to run down, the clock will stop operating normally. When this occurs, have the battery replaced (for a fee) at your dealer or nearest Sony Service Center .
