FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - WM-FX487 SONY

Comment insérer les piles ?

Ouvrez le compartiment à piles au dos de l'appareil et insérez deux piles AA (LR6) en respectant la polarité (+ et -). Remplacez les deux piles dans les 30 secondes pour conserver les présélections radio.

Comment présélectionner des stations radio ?

Syntonisez d'abord la station souhaitée, puis maintenez enfoncé l'un des boutons 1 à 5 pendant plus de 2 secondes. Un bip retentit et la station est mémorisée. Vous pouvez présélectionner jusqu'à 20 stations (5 par bande).

Que faire si le son est distordu ou faible ?

Vérifiez d'abord que les piles sont suffisamment chargées. Si le son est distordu avec le mode GROOVE, passez en mode MEGA BASS ou désactivez-le. Si l'icône AVLS est affichée, appuyez sur SET pour désactiver la limitation de volume.

Comment utiliser la fonction HOLD ?

Faites glisser l'interrupteur HOLD dans le sens de la flèche pour verrouiller toutes les commandes. Cela évite les déclenchements involontaires pendant le transport. Pour déverrouiller, repoussez l'interrupteur dans l'autre sens.

Comment nettoyer la tête de lecture ?

Utilisez une cassette de nettoyage CHK-1 (non fournie) toutes les 10 heures d'utilisation. Insérez-la dans le lecteur et lancez la lecture pendant quelques secondes. N'utilisez pas d'autres méthodes.

Puis-je utiliser des écouteurs autres que ceux fournis ?

Oui, vous pouvez utiliser tout casque ou écouteur avec une fiche Ⓞ et une impédance comprise entre 8 et 300 ohms. Assurez-vous que la fiche est bien enfoncée.

Comment économiser les piles ?

Éteignez l'appareil après usage. Utilisez de préférence des piles alcalines LR6 pour une autonomie maximale (jusqu'à 38 h en radio). Évitez les températures extrêmes qui réduisent la durée de vie.

Pourquoi l'affichage clignote-t-il ?

Si l'indicateur de pile clignote, remplacez les piles. En cas d'affichage erroné, les piles sont probablement faibles. Si le problème persiste après changement, contactez le service client Sony.

Comment basculer entre les bandes FM1, FM2, FM3 et AM ?

Appuyez plusieurs fois sur le bouton RADIO ON/BAND pour parcourir les bandes. Chaque bande peut mémoriser jusqu'à 5 présélections. Utilisez TUNING +/- pour syntoniser manuellement ou maintenez enfoncé pour la recherche automatique.

Le son est trop fort malgré le réglage du volume. Comment faire ?

Vérifiez si la fonction AVLS est activée (icône affichée). Si oui, désactivez-la via le menu SET. Sinon, réduisez le volume en tournant la molette sur le Walkman ou la télécommande (FX487).
