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.
