Sony TC-WE305 Mode D'emploi

WARNING
To prevent fire or shock
hazard, do not expose
the unit to rain or
moisture.
Precautions
On safety
• Do not disassemble the cabinet — this
may result in an electrical shock.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the tape deck
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• Before operating the tape deck, check
that the operating voltage of the tape
deck is identical with your local
power supply. The operating voltage
is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear of the tape deck.
• The unit is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it
is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off (not
applicable to European models).
• If you are not going to use the tape
deck for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the tape deck from the wall
outlet. To disconnect the AC power
cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.

On operation
• Because of a safety mechanism, the
function buttons will not operate if
the cassette holder is not completely
closed, if there is no cassette in the
cassette holder, or if a cassette has
been incorrectly inserted into the
cassette holder.
• Be sure to stop the tape before
turning off the tape deck. Otherwise,
the tape may be damaged.
On placement
• Place the tape deck in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the tape deck.
• Do not place the tape deck:
— on a soft surface such as a rug that
might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
— in a location near heat sources.
— in a place subject to direct
sunlight.
— in an inclined position.
— in a place subject to excessive dust
or mechanical shock.
On cleaning the tape deck
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
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your tape deck, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On tapes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of tapes
longer than 90 minutes except for a long
continuous recording or playback. They
are very thin and tend to stretch easily.
On handling cassettes
• To prevent the heads and tape path
from getting dirty, avoid touching the
tape surface of a cassette.
• Place cassettes away from equipment
with magnets, such as speakers and
amplifiers, which may cause tape
distortion or erase the recordings.
• Do not expose cassettes to direct
sunlight, extremely cold temperature,
or moisture.
