Tips

When the AC power adaptor or the car battery cord is connected to the DC IN 6V jack of the tape- corder, the internal batteries are automatically disconnected. Power is automatically supplied from the external power source. The tape-corder works with the external power source, not the internal batteries.

When the AC power plug or the car battery cord is used for an extended period of time, the internal temperature of the tape-corder may rise. This is not a malfunction.

Using the AC power adaptor

Connect the supplied AC power adaptor to the DC IN 6V jack.

Notes on the AC power adaptor

Use only the supplied AC power adaptor or the optional AC-E60HG/AC-E60AM AC power adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

Polarity of the plug

Make sure that the cassette compartment lid is closed before disconnecting the AC power adaptor or removing the batteries. Otherwise, the cassette compartment lid may not close if the power source is disconnected or removed while the cassette compartment lid is open. In this case, connect the power adaptor or insert the batteries again.

Using the car battery

To operate the tape-corder with the car battery, connect the car battery cord Sony DCC-E260XL or DCC-E160L, DCC-E260HG (not supplied) to the DC IN 6V jack of the tape-corder. For more details, refer to its Operating Instructions manual.
