Choosing Power Sources
To use the player on AC power source (mains)
Connect the supplied mains lead to the AC IN jack.
To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not expose the player to rain
or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not
open the cabinet. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
Do not install the appliance in a
confined space, such as a
bookcase or built-in cabinet.
To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, on the
appliance.
The FUNCTION selector is
located at the top panel.
When you turn on the player, the
OPR/BATT indicator lights up.
Precautions
On safety/power sources
• Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the player, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• For AC operation, check that the
player’s operating voltage is
identical with your local power
supply (see “Specifications”) and
use the supplied mains lead; do
not use any other type. The
voltage selector is located on the
bottom of the player (CFS-W338S
only).
• The player is not disconnected
from the AC power source (mains)
as long as it is connected to the
mains, even if the player itself has
been turned off.
• For battery operation, use six R20
(size D) batteries.
• When the batteries are not to be
used, remove them to avoid
damage that can be caused by
battery leakage or corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating
operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the
bottom.
On placement/operation
• Do not leave the player in a
location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything whithin 10
mm of the side of the cabinet.  The
ventilation holes must be
unobstructed for the player to
operate properly and to prolong
the life of its components.
• Since a strong magnet is used for
the speakers, keep personal credit
cards using magnetic coding or
spring-wound watches away from
the player to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
• If the player has not been used for
a long time, set it in the playback
mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a cassette.
If you have any questions or
problems concerning your player,
please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
