reel and take up any slack.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in this

manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

To maintain high quality sound

Be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks

onto the unit or tapes.

Slack

Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

The sound may become distorted while playing

the cassette. The cassette player head should be

cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes

is not recommended except for long

continuous play

The tape used for these cassettes is very thin and

tends to stretch easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to become entangled in the

cassette deck mechanism.
