Tips

 The Play Timer setting remains as long as the setting is not canceled 

manually.

 The Rec Timer is canceled automatically after the Rec Timer has 

been activated.

 The volume is reduced to minimum during the Rec Timer.

Make sure the power cord and speaker cords are 

correctly and firmly connected.

Find your problem in the checklist below, and take 

the indicated corrective action.
If the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

Immediately unplug the power cord, and check the 

following item.

 If your system has a voltage selector, is the voltage 

selector set to the correct voltage?

 Are the + and  speaker cords short-circuited?

 Are you using only the supplied speakers?

 Is anything blocking the ventilation holes on the rear 

of the system?

After the STANDBY indicator  stops flashing, 

reconnect the power cord, and turn on the system. If 

the issue persists, contact your nearest Sony dealer.

 The specified station may have temporarily stopped 

broadcast.

 Place the speakers as symmetrically as possible.

 Connect only the supplied speakers.

 Move the system away from sources of noise.

 Connect the system to a different wall socket.

 Install a noise filter (available separately) to the power 

cord.

 Remove any obstacles between the remote and the 

remote sensor  on the unit, and position the unit 

away from fluorescent lights.

 Point the remote at the system’s sensor.

 Move the remote closer to the system.

 Wipe the disc clean, and replace it.

 Move the system to a location away from vibration (for 

example, on top of a stable stand).

 Move the speakers away from the system, or place them 

on separate stands. At high volume, speaker vibration 

may cause the sound to skip.

 Return to Normal Play by pressing PLAY MODE  

repeatedly until both “PGM” and “SHUF” disappear.

 The following discs take a longer time to start playback.

 a disc recorded with a complicated tree structure.

 Connect the antenna properly.

 Find a location and an orientation that provide good 

reception, and then set up the antenna again.

 Connect a commercially available external antenna.

 Keep the antenna away from the speaker cords and the 

power cord to avoid picking up noise.

 Consult your nearest Sony dealer if the supplied AM 

antenna has come off the plastic stand.

 Turn off nearby electrical equipment.

 Check all antenna connections, then perform the DAB 

Automatic Scan procedure (see “Before using the

format or MP3 format conforming to ISO9660 Level 

1/Level 2, Joliet or multisession

 CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multisession that have not 

ended by “closing the session”

 CD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/CD-

recorded with an incompatible recording device

 CD-R/CD-RW which is finalized incorrectly

 Discs containing files other than MPEG 1 Audio Layer-

3 (MP3) files

 Discs of non-standard shape (for example, heart, 

square, star)

 Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or sticker attached 

to them

 Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue 

extends beyond the seal

 Discs that have labels printed using ink that feels tacky 

when touched

 An 8 cm disc with an adaptor

 Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from 

the center out to the edge.

 Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine 

thinner, or commercially available cleaners or anti-

static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources 

such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in 

direct sunlight.

 The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source 

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall socket, 

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

 Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead) 

from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going to be used 

for an extended period of time. When unplugging the 

unit, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

 Should any solid object or liquid get into the system, 

unplug the system, and have it checked by qualified 

personnel before operating it again.

 The AC power cord can be changed only by a qualified 

service facility.

 Do not place the system in an inclined position or in 

locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or 

humid or lacking adequate ventilation, or subject to 

vibration, direct sunlight or a bright light.

 Be careful when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces 

that have been specially treated (for example, with wax, 

oil, polish) as staining or discoloration of the surface 

may result.

 If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm 

location or is placed in a very damp room, moisture 

may condense on the lens inside the CD player, and 

cause the system to malfunction. In this situation, 

remove the disc, and leave the system turned on for 

about a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

 Heat buildup on the unit during operation is normal 

and is not cause for alarm.

 Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used 

continuously at a high volume because the cabinet may 

have become hot. 

 Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded, and 

the picture on nearby TV sets may become magnetically 

distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 

minutes, and turn it back on. 

If there is no improvement, move the speakers far away 

from the TV.

Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly moistened 

with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type 

of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as 

thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

Break off the cassette’s overwrite protection tab from side 

A or B as illustrated.

Break off the 

cassette tab

To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab 

with adhesive tape.

The use of the tape with more than 90 minutes of play 

time is not recommended except for long, continuous 

recording or playback.

Use dry- or wet-type cleaning cassette (available 

separately) after every 10 hours of use, before you start an 

important recording, or after playing an old tape. Failure 

to clean the tape heads can cause degraded sound quality 

or an inability of the unit to record or play tapes. For 

details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Use a demagnetizing cassette (available separately) after 

every 20 to 30 hours of use. Failure to demagnetize 

the tape heads can cause an increase in noise, a loss of 

high frequency sound, and an inability to completely 

erase tapes. For details, refer to the instructions of the 

demagnetizing cassette.
