Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette

Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of features using the following controller accessory: Supplied accessory Rotary commander RM-X4S Optional accessory Card remote commander RM-X91

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in temperature inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• If no power is being supplied to the unit, check the connections first. If everything is in order, check the fuse. • If no sound comes from the speakers of a two-speaker system, set the fader control to the centre position. • When a tape is played back for a long period, the cassette may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier. However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

In addition to the cassette playback and radio operations, you can expand your system by connecting an optional CD/MD unit*1.

When you operate this unit or a connected optional CD unit with the CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT information will appear in the display when you play a CD TEXT disc*2. *1 You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer, a CD player, or an MD player. *2 A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes information such as the disc name, artist name, and track names. This information is recorded on the disc.

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

If you have drink holders near your audio equipment, be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary residues on this unit or cassette tapes may contaminate the playback heads, reduce the sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction altogether. Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar from the tape heads.

Cassette care • Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads. • Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-in magnets such as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the recorded tape could occur. • Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperatures, or moisture. • Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be caught in the machine. Before you insert the tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the reel and take up any slack.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

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.

• 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.

Basic operations of DAB DAB Searching for the Ensemble and

Service — Automatic Tuning

Overview of DAB DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that transmits audio programmes with a quality comparable to that of CDs. This is made possible by the use of a microcomputer in the

DAB tuner which uses the radio signals sent from multiple aerials and multi-path signals (reflected radio waves) to boost the strength of the main signal. This makes DAB almost immune to radio interference even in a moving object such as a car. Each DAB station bundles radio programmes (services) into an ensemble which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All ensembles, services, and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies. DAB programme

Service Service Service Component Component Component

• The DAB system is actually in a testing phase. This means some services have not been sufficiently defined or are presently being tested. At present, such services are not supported by the optional DAB tuner unit XT-100DAB. • DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and L-Band (1,452 to 1,492 MHz), with each band divided into channels (41 in Band-III and 23 in L-Band). One ensemble is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.
