heads) which allows you to instantly check the recorded sound
while recording is in progress.
For your convenience

On safety
+ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
+ Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it will not be used for a long
time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.
e The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as
long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has
been turned off.
On operation
+ When the unit is not used, turn the power off to conserve energy
and to extend the useful life of your unit.
+ Because of a safety mechanism, the function buttons will not
operate if the cassette holder is not completely closed, if there is
no cassette in the cassette holder, or if a cassette has been
incorrectly inserted into the cassette holder.
On head cleaning
The head and tape path should be cleaned after every ten hours of
operation. Dirty heads and a dirty tape path may cause:
— loss of high-frequency response
— loss of sound volume
— sound drop-out
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please
contact your nearest Sony dealer.
