Overview/Features

The ICF-SW800 is an FM/SW PLL synthesized receiver which features easy tuning using the frequency-presset cards. Refer to the pages indicated in ● for details.

Various ways of tuning using the preset cards

• Easy tuning . You can receive a desired station by only inserting a card in the unit and lightly touching the number printed on the card.
• Direct tuning .... Tuning in the station by directly inputting the frequency of the station.
• Manual tuning .... Even if you don't know the frequency of the station, you can tune in the station precisely.
• Preset tuning .... Stations can be preset using the cards.
• Timer standby . . . . . . Function for receiving a desired station at a desired time.

Other features

• Quartz controlled PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer system using a microcomputer for easy pinpoint tuning. The tuned frequency is digitally displayed.
• Provided with a recording output jack.

This unit is supplied with four cards: three for radio reception (frequency-pressat cards and memory cards), and one for clock/timer setting (Clock Card). For details on the cards and the receivable pressat stations, refer to the supplied pressat frequency list.

Precautions

• Operate the unit only on 4.5 V DC.
  For battery operation, use three RB (size AA) batteries. For AC operation, use the AC power adaptor recommended for this unit; do not use any other type. For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended for this unit; do not use any other type.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Use the unit within a temperature range of 9°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, there may be trouble with the frequency and clock display. If it is used in temperatures lower than this range, the displayed numbers may change very slowly. This is not an internal malfunction. The display will recover when the unit is used within the recommended temperature.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the magnet.
• Reception around 4,900 kHz, 9,355 kHz, 9,575 kHz, 9,950 kHz, 10,250 kHz and 15,150 kHz may be difficult because of internal sourious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.
• If the unit shows incorrect display or does not work property, reinsert the batteries after a five-minute wait.

If you have any question or problem concerning your unit that is not covered in this manual, please consult the nearest Sony dealer.

Direct tuning — When you know the frequency of the desired station

To turn off the radio, set the POWER switch to OFF.

When the frequency near the input frequency is displayed The frequencies which this radio receives are allocated in the following intervals*, depending on the broadcaster band. If you input a frequency that does not match these intervals, the frequency just below the one that you input will be tuned in and will be displayed. e.g. If you input SW 3999, the display will show SW 3995.

FM	0.05 MHz or 0.1 MHz
SW	5 kHz

Manual tuning — When you do not know the frequency of the desired station

Even when the card is inserted, you can tune in a station in the same way.

Once the timer is set

• You do not have to leave the "Clock Card" inserted to have the
  timer activated
  • If the POWER switch is kept at STBY, the radio will be turned on at
  the present time every day.
  • Which station will be heard at the preset time?
  — When a card is inserted, the station previously tuned in with the
  card is received first.
  — When no card is inserted, the station that was being received just before is received.

Technical Information

All introduction by Ro Io?aves

Radio waves from around the world fill the skies above you. Knowing the types and features of these waves will help you enjoy radio reception even more. The supplied Short Wave Guide is an easy-to-understand guidebook.

When you listen to short wave radio, sometimes the volume of the reception goes up and down. This does not mean there is anything wrong with your radio; it is just a phenomenon called "fading". Fading occurs because the fluctuation in the ionosphere changes the strength of the short-wave signals and reflects the same signal via different paths, creating interference.

For example, if a wave that has been reflected once by the ionosphere and a wave that has been reflected twice by the ionosphere arrives at your radio antenna at the same time, the phases of the two waves are different. Depending on how large this phase difference is, the two waves sometimes add together for a strong signal and sometimes cancel each other out for a weak signal; so the sound on your radio gets louder or quieter.

When you try to tune in a desired station, you receive one station after another, but it is difficult to decide which one you want to listen to and which one you are receiving. The things to watch for are: - Reception frequency — You can look up this frequency in a station frequency chart.

- Announcements during the broadcast — Most stations announce the station name and the call sign every 15 or 30 minutes.

- Interval signal — Most stations broadcast a specific piece of music or an animal sound before and after their broadcasts. If you learn these as you hear them, they will help you figure out which station you have tuned in.

If you want to know about broadcast times and the contents of programs in detail, send to the stations you are interested in for a pamphlet listing their programs.
