Sony MDS-JB980 User Manual

Connect the mains lead of the deck to mains.

If you use a timer, connect the mains lead to the socket 
of the timer.

Insert two R6 (size-AA) batteries into the 
battery compartment with the + and – properly 
oriented to the markings. When using the 
remote, point it at the remote sensor 

 on the 

deck.

When the remote no longer operates the deck, replace 
both batteries with new ones.

Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or 
humid place.

Do not drop any foreign object into the remote 
casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

Do not use a new battery with an old one.

Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or 
lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of 
time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage 
from battery leakage and corrosion.
