Note

• For maximum performance we recommend that you use a Sony alkaline battery.

Rechargeable Battery

1 Insert the supplied rechargeable battery (NC-6WM) into the charger with correct polarity.
2 Plug in the charger to the house current (mains). Japanese model: Full charging takes about 2 hours. "Sony World Model": Full charging takes about 1 hour. If the plug does not fit to your mains, attach the supplied AC plug adaptor.
3 Insert the fully charged battery into the rechargeable battery compartment.

You can charge the battery about 300 times.

Note

Certain countries may regulate disposal of battery used to power this product. Please consult your local authority.

When to replace/charge the battery

Replace or charge the battery when "□" flashes in the display.

The battery remainder mark has 3 steps to show the remaining battery power.

Display		Condition
Remote control	Main unit
		There is enough battery power.
↓	↓	The battery power is decreasing.
		The battery is exhausted. Replace it with a new battery.

Notes

• When you insert a charged battery, the battery remainder mark may show "..." ("") on the main unit) even if it is not fully charged.
• The battery remainder mark may temporarily show a lower level during fast forwarding or rewinding or use in extremely low temperatures.

Note

• The battery life may shorten depending on the operation of the unit.

House Current

Remove the rechargeable battery if inserted. Attach the battery case and connect the AC power adaptor AC-E15L for Japan (not supplied) or AC-E15HG (not supplied) to the DC IN 1.5 V jack of the battery case and to the wall outlet.

Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

Specifications for AC-E15HG vary for each area. Check your local voltage and the polarity of the plug before purchasing.

Polarity of the plug

Connecting the earphones

1 Connect the stereo mini plug firmly to the remote control.
2 Connect the remote control to REMOTE.
3 Wear the "L" marked side to the left ear and the "R" marked side to the right ear. If the earphones do not fit to your ears or the sound is unbalanced, adjust the earphones to fit to your ears firmly.

Likewise, if there is a low-level segment within a track, AMS may recognize it as a blank space.

A-B Repeat

A-B Repeat plays back repeatedly any portion of the tape you specified. Specify by tagging the beginning (point A) and the end (point B) of the portion during playback.

On the remote control

1 Press the jog lever twice quickly during playback to tag point A.

"REP" appears in the display of the remote control.

2 Press the jog lever once more to tag point B.

"REP" will flash and the tape will be rewound to point A. Then the specified portion is played repeatedly.

On the main unit

1 Press REPEAT for 2 seconds or more during playback to tag point A. "A-" will flash in the display of the main unit.

Notes

• You cannot specify a repeat portion to include both sides of the tape.
• You cannot specify a repeat portion of shorter than 2 seconds.
• After repeated operation, the actual portion that is played back may shift off somewhat from the exact portion specified with the tags due to tape slack.
• A-B Repeat will repeat 50 times before returning to normal playback if not canceled manually.
• Do not use the A-B Repeat function with tapes longer than 90 minutes. If you do, the tape may be damaged.

Recording

You can record radio programs from the built-in radio, or record with the supplied microphone. In either case, use a new or fully charged battery.

Note

• If the record-protect tab is broken, you cannot record on that side.

1 Insert a normal (TYPE I) tape. To record on both sides Insert the cassette with the side to be first recorded on as the FWD (forward) side*.

• Make sure that "FWD" is displayed. If not, press and hold ■-RADIO OFF until "REV" changes to "FWD".

To record on one side only Insert the cassette with the side to be recorded on as the REV (reverse) side**.

** Make sure that "REV" is displayed. If not, press and hold ■-RADIO OFF until "FWD" changes to "REV".

Note

• When the cassette holder is opened, the direction of the tape will be automatically set to "FWD".

2 Select a recording source: To record with the microphone

Connect the supplied microphone to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack.

To record from the radio

Tune in to the station you want to record (see "Listening to the Radio").

3 Slide REC.

"REC" appears in the display and recording starts after about 2 seconds.

If you have started recording from the FWD side, recording will switch to reverse side automatically at the end of the FWD side.

To stop recording

Press RADIO OFF on the main unit or press the jog lever on the remote control.

To reduce noise while recording AM programs

Set the ISS (Interference Suppress Switch) to the position that reduces noise the most.

To monitor the recording sound

You can monitor the recording sound through headphones/earphones. Adjust monitoring level using VOL.

Note

• You may hear some noise in the monitor sound in the RV, MB, or GRV mode, but this does not affect recording.

Notes on recording

• The recording level is fixed.

• Sound emphasis (RV, MB, or GRV), AVLS and Dolby B NR settings do not affect recording.

• Actual recording will start about 2 seconds after you slide REC. Slide REC about 2 seconds before the moment you want to start recording, or you will miss the beginning of your recording.

• When recording on both sides, recording will not be made for about 10 seconds while the tape is switching sides.
• Do not use a CrO_2 (TYPE II) or metal (TYPE IV) tape. If you do, the sound may be distorted when you play back the tape, or the previous recording may not be erased completely.
• Do not connect or disconnect the earphones to/from REMOTE while recording from the radio. The recording condition may change abruptly, or noise may be recorded.
• To avoid noise interference, do not place it near a lamp cord or a fluorescent lamp when recording with the microphone.
• If a howling effect occurs, turn down the volume.
• All other operation cannot be made while recording. For other operation, stop recording first.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over

Break off the tabs from side A and/or B. To reuse the tape for recording, cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.
