Thank you for choosing the Sony Dream
Machine. The Dream Machine will give you
many hours of reliable service and listening
pleasure.
Before operating the Dream Machine, please read
these instructions thoroughly and retain them for
future reference.

• Full power back-up function to keep the clock,

the alarm (radio and buzzer) and the radio
operating during a power interruption, using a
6F22 battery (not supplied).

To keep good time, your Dream Machine needs
one 6F22 battery (not supplied), in addition to
house current. The battery keeps the clock
operating in the event of a power interruption.
Before setting the time on your Dream Machine,
open the lid at the bottom of the unit, install the
battery with correct polarity and then close the
lid.
• After a power interruption, the displayed time

may not be always correct (it may gain or lose
about 10 minutes per hour).

• To check battery power, unplug the AC power

cord from the wall outlet and plug it in again
after a few minutes. If the displayed time is
incorrect, replace the battery with a new one.

Plug in the unit.

minutes.

sounds depending on which you set.

• Operate the unit on the power sources specified

in “Specifications”.

• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the

plug, not by the cord.

with a mild detergent solution.
