Sony XR-5890R User Manual

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car, allow the unit to
cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in
order, check the fuse.

•If no sound comes from the speakers of a

two-speaker system, set the fader control to
the centre position.

•When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette may become warm
because of the built-in power amplifier.
However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems
concerning your unit that are not covered in
this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.

If you have drink holders near your audio
equipment, be careful not to splash juice or
other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary
residues on this unit or cassette tapes may
contaminate the playback heads, reduce the
sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction
altogether.
Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar
from the tape heads.

You can enjoy a clear and powerful bass
sound. The D-bass function boosts the low
frequency signal with a sharper curve than
conventional bass boost.
You can hear the bass line more clearly even
while the vocal volume remains the same. You
can emphasize and adjust the bass sound
easily with the D-BASS control.

Turn the D-BASS control to adjust the
bass level (1, 2, or 3).
“D-BASS” appears in the display.

To cancel, turn the control to OFF.
