Inserting a Blank Space During Recording (Record Muting)

You can insert a blank space of 4 seconds between each track. The blank spaces between tracks let you locate the track easily with the Multi-AMS function (see page 8). Also, use this function to eliminate only unwanted portions on the tape.

Precautions

On safety

•Do not disassemble the cabinet — this may result in an electrical shock. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the tape deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

•Before operating the tape deck, check that the operating voltage of the tape deck is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the tape deck.

•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.

•If you are not going to use the tape deck for a long time, be sure to disconnect the tape deck from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On operation

•Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will not operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed, if there is no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette has been incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.

•Be sure to stop the tape before turning off the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may be damaged.

On placement

•Place the tape deck in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the tape deck.

•Do not place the tape deck:

—on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

—in a location near heat sources.

—in a place subject to direct sunlight.

—in an inclined position.

—in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On cleaning the tape deck

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

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