Tip

When the traffic announcement starts while you are

listening to another programme source, the unit

automatically switches to the announcement and goes back

to the original source when the announcement is over.

Notes

• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station

doesn’t broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit

starts searching for a station that does broadcast traffic

announcements.

• When the “EON” indication appears with “TP” on the

display, the current station makes use of broadcast traffic

announcements of other stations in the same network.

To cancel the current traffic

announcement

Press (AF/TA) momentarily.

Additional

Information

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.

•When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette may become warm

because of the built-in power amplifier.

However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

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.

15

EN

CD/MD Unit/Additional Information

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.

•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.

•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tapes used for these cassettes are

very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to be pulled into the cassette

deck mechanism.

Slack

Maintenance

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one

matching the amperage rating stated on the

original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the

power connection and replace the fuse. If the

fuse blows again after replacement, there may

be an internal malfunction. In such a case,

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.
