Changer Control

Audio Master

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing the Sony Changer

Control Audio Master. This unit lets you enjoy

a variety of features as well as an optional

rotary commander.

In addition to the CD playback, tape playback

and radio operations, you can expand your

system by connecting an optional MD/CD

unit*.

*You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer, a

CD player and an MD 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

two-speaker systems, set the fader control to

the centre position.

•If your car is equipped with a power aerial, it

will extend automatically while the unit is

operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Moisture Condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will

not operate properly. In such a case, remove

the disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

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 unit and CD/

cassette. Sugary residues on the unit or CD/

cassette may contaminate the lenses or

playback heads inside the unit, reduce the

sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar

from the tape heads.

Notes on CDs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound

dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum

sound, handle the disc as follows.

Handle the disc by its edge. To keep the disc

clean, do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave

them in a car parked in direct sunlight where

there can be a considerable rise in temperature

inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional

cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre

out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or antistatic

spray intended for analog discs.

Notes on discs

If you use the discs explained below, the sticky

residue can cause the CD to stop spinning and

may cause malfunction or ruin your discs.

Do not use second-hand or rental CDs that

have a sticky residue on the surface (for

example, from peeled-off stickers or from ink,

or glue leaking from under the stickers).

There are paste residue.

Ink is sticky.

Do not use rental CDs with old labels that are

beginning to peel off.

Stickers that are

beginning to peel away,

leaving a sticky residue.

Notes on CD-R discs

•You can play CD-Rs (recordable CDs) on this

unit. However depending on the conditions

of the recording equipment or the CD-R disc

itself, some CD-Rs cannot be played on this

unit.

•You cannot play a CD-R that is not finalized

(Finalization is necessary for a recorded CD-

R disc to be played on the audio CD player).

•You cannot play CD-RWs (rewritable CDs)

on this player.

When you play 8 cm CDs

Use the optional Sony compact disc single

adaptor (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from

damage.

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 tapes used for these cassettes are

very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to be pulled into the cassette

deck mechanism.
