Manual de Usuario

Precautions
� If your car was parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before operating it. � If no power is being supplied to the unit, check the connections first. If everything is in order, check the fuse. � If no sound comes from the speakers of a 2-speaker system, set the fader control to the center position. � If your car is equipped with a power antenna, note that it will be automatically extended while the unit is operating. If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on cassettes

Cassette care � Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads. � Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-in magnets such as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the recorded tape could occur. � Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperatures or moisture. � When the tape is played back for a long period, the cassette may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier. This is not a sign of a malfunction. � Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be caught in the machine. Before you insert the tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the reel and take up any slack.

To maintain high quality sound
If you have drink holders near your audio equipment, be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary residues on this unit or cassette tapes may contaminate the playback heads, reduce the sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction altogether. Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar from the tape heads.
Slack

US

� Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause problems when inserting or ejecting tapes. Remove or replace loose labels.

Notes on cassette deck tape heads � Long use of cassette tapes contaminates the tape head causing poor sound quality or complete sound dropout. Therefore, we recommend cleaning the tape head once a month or so with the separately available Sony Cassette Cleaning Set. If the sound does not improve after using a cleaning cassette, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. � In case of old or inferior cassette tapes, the tape head gets contaminated much more quickly. Depending on the tape, one or two playbacks may cause poor sound.
