Thank you for purchasing the Sony CFD-570 CD Radio Cassette-Corder. The CFD series CD radio cassette-corder is packed with fun features. Here are just a few:

• A Mega Bass sound system that boosts low frequency range audio to provide deep, powerful bass through the bass reflex speakers
• A preset feature that lets you store and recall up to 20 of your favorite radio stations
• A timer that lets you set the CD player or radio to turn on or off whenever you want
• A dual tape deck that allows you to record from the radio, CD player or from the other tape deck
• A display window with back light enables you to see the operation
• A remote commander that gives you control of the music from your seat

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord; do not use any other type.
• For battery operation, use ten size D (R20) batteries.
• Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• When the operational batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and to prolong the life of its components.
• If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player section.
  Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
• If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a CD or cassette.

Note on using a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time

The use of a cassette with more than 90 minutes of play time is not recommended except for long, continuous recording or playback.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a lever mechanism with arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

To avoid malfunction, keep the commander away from direct sunlight or strong illumination.

For easy transport, the dual speakers are detachable. Before you begin listening to music, attach the speaker boxes and connect the speaker wires as shown below. Make sure you turn off the power before making any connections.

1 Align the grooves and slide the speaker box down until it snaps into place.

2 Connect the black wires to (-) minus terminals and the red wires to (+) plus terminals. Connect the right speaker wires to the R terminals, and the left speaker wires to the L terminals.

To detach the speakers

Unlock the speaker Ⓑ and slide the speaker box all the way up and away from the player.

The CD cassette-corder has three separate power sources. Use the AC power source whenever you record because recording consumes the most power. Use ten size D (R20) batteries when the CD cassette-corder becomes a portable. At all times keep three size AA (R6) batteries installed to keep the clock powered and programmed settings in memory.

Installing batteries for the clock/timer/memory

Remove the CD from the player to prevent it from falling out. In the smaller compartment insert three size AA(R6) batteries (not supplied) for the clock/timer/memory.

Operating the player on AC power

Insert one end of the supplied AC power cord to the AC IN socket located at the rear of the player ① and the other end to the wall outlet ②.

Operating the player on batteries

To play your CD cassette-corder on batteries, the AC power cord must be disconnected from the player. Unplug the player and insert ten size D (R20) batteries (not supplied) in the larger compartment.

When to replace the batteries

• Replace the size D (R20) batteries when: the OPR/BATT indicator dims or when the player stops operating.
• Replace the size AA (R6) batteries when: the indications in the display window dim, the clock stops operating or the remote commander does not function.

When the batteries are weak, replace all the batteries with new ones. Connect the player to the AC power source when replacing the size AA (R6) batteries so that the memory data for the CD player and radio will not be erased.

To use the timer, you need to set the clock. Insert three size AA (R6) batteries in the small battery compartment, and connect the CD cassette-corder to a wall outlet or insert ten size D (R 20) batteries (see Choosing Power Sources on page 12).

1 Turn the power off (☐ OFF (TIMER/SLEEP)).

2 Depress and hold CLOCK until "CLOCK" appears in the display window.

3 Press the number buttons to set the hour and then the minute. If the hour and/or minute has one digit, press 0 before the number.

The flashing position shows where the next number will be entered.

If you make a mistake

Press I◄◄ or ►►I until the digit you want to change flashes and then re-enter the correct number.

4 Select "AM" or "PM" by pressing +10/AM/PM.

5 Press CLOCK again. The clock starts from 00 seconds.

To check the time while playing a CD Press CLOCK.

Adjusting the Sound Emphasis

When playing CDs, tapes, or radio programs, use the ROTARY EQUALIZER controls to equalize the reproduced sound.

4 Adjust the volume and the sound emphasis (see Adjusting the Sound Emphasis on page 14).

To turn off the radio

Set the POWER switch to □ OFF.

To reduce FM noise

Set the FM SENS selector at the rear of the player to LOCAL. Normally it is set to DX.

To record mixed sounds

Insert a tape (TYPE I) in deck B and press ● REC. The recording level is adjusted automatically.

Note on the microphone

If acoustic feedback (howling) occurs, turn down the volume or move the microphone away from the speakers. We do not recommend you use a microphone that has an echo function.

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound during CD operation. Clean with a commercially available blower.

Cleaning the tape heads and tape path

Contaminated heads cause poor recording or sound drop-out in playback. We recommend cleaning after every 10 hours of operation. To make the best possible recording, however, you should clean all surfaces over which tape travels before each recording.

Wipe the heads, the pinch rollers and the capstans with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol.

After cleaning the heads, rollers and the tape path, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

After 20 to 30 hours of use, enough residual magnetism will have built up on the tape heads to begin to cause loss of high frequency sound and hiss. At this time, you should demagnetize the heads and all metal parts in the tape path with a commercially available tape head demagnetizer.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

Notes on Compact Discs

- Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
  • After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error.
