USER MANUAL XR-L240 SONY
FM/MW/LW Cassette Car Stereo
Operating Instructions GB
For installation and connections, see the supplied installation/connections manual.
Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette Player.
Precautions
- 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.
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.
Notes on Cassettes
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.
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.
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.

Overview of the RDS function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are just a few: retuning the same programme automatically, listening to traffic announcements, and locating a station by programme type.
Notes
- Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available.
- RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.
