Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
(European model only)  
What is the Radio Data System?  
Radio Data System (RDS)* is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal.  
Note  
RDS may not work properly if the station you have  
tuned in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly  
or if the signal is weak.  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do  
they all provide the same type of services. If you  
are not familiar with the RDS system, check with  
your local radio stations for details on RDS services  
in your area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station from the FM band.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the station name appears in the  
display.  
To check the RDS information  
Each time you press DISPLAY on the remote,  
the display changes as follows:  
Station name* t Frequency t Clock display  
t Station name* t ......  
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the  
station name may not appear in the display.

disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out  
by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
system, unplug the system and have it checked by  
qualified personnel before operating it any further.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do  
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or  
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.  
To save a tape permanently  
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded  
over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B  
as illustrated.  
Break off the  
cassette tab  
On placement  
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:  
— Extremely hot or cold  
— Dusty or dirty  
— Very humid  
— Subject to vibrations  
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover  
the broken tab with adhesive tape.  
— Subject to direct sunlight  
Before placing a cassette in the tape  
deck  
On heat buildup  
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape  
may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing  
mechanism and become damaged.  
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is  
not a malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
When using a tape longer than 90  
minutes  
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape  
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc.  
too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the  
tape deck’s playing mechanism.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for the cooling fan.  
Cleaning the tape heads  
On operation  
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.  
Make sure to clean the tape heads before making an  
important recording or after playing an old tape. Use  
a commercially available dry-type or wet-type  
cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions  
of the cleaning cassette.  
• If the system is brought directly from a cold place  
to a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room,  
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not  
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the  
system turned on for about an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Demagnetizing the tape heads  
• When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be  
on the disc tray.  
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that  
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours  
of use with a commercially available demagnetizing  
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the  
demagnetizing cassette.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Troubleshooting  
Sound comes from only one channel, or the left  
and right volumes are unbalanced.  
Should you encounter a problem with your  
system, do the following:  
• Check the speaker connections and placement.  
1 Make sure the power cord and speaker cords  
are correctly and firmly connected.  
2 Find your problem in the troubleshooting  
checklist below and take the indicated  
corrective action.
