INFORMATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause inteference to radio and
television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Subpart J of Part 5 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that equipment and

For the custo ers in Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions set out in Radio InterfererKe Regulations.
• An LW/MW/SW/FM stereo receiver with wotid-wide band coverage.
• Quartz controlled PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesizer system
using a microcomputer for easy pinpoint tuning. The tuned
frequency is digitally displayed.
• Fine tuning control for precise tuning
• SSB (Single side band) can be received # .
• Provided with a recording output and a remote control jack.
Connecting the unit to the optional Sony TCM-27 cassette-corder
using these jacks, you can start recording programs at a desired
time #.
• Various ways of tuning
Direct tuning ... Tuning in the station by inputting the frequency of
the station directly #
Manual tuning .. Even if you don’t know the frequency of the
station, you can tune in the station precisely %
Scan tuning . . . . An automatic searching of a station #
Preset tuning . Up to 0 stations can be preset for button-touch
tuning 0
• Other features
Ti er standby . The function to receive a desired station at a
desired time #
Sleep ti er .... Turning the radio off automatically In 65 minutes
•
Power sources . Three different power sources: internal batteries,
house current, car battery #
For battery operation, use four size AA (R6) batteries.
For AC operation, use the AC power adaptor supplied with this
unit; do not use any other type.
For car battery operation, use the car battery cord recommended
for this unit; do not use any other type.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0®C to 40®C (32®F to
04®F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, there may
be trouble with the frequency and clock display. If it is used in
temperatures lower than this range, the displayed numbers may
change very slowly. This is not an internal malfunction. The display
will recover when the unit is used within the recommended
temperature.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, remove the
batteries, and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal
credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away
from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the
magnet.
• Reception around .8 MHz and 3.6 MHz may be difficult because
of internal spurious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive
cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.
If you have any question or problem concerning your unit that is not
covered in this manual, please consult the nearest Sony dealer.
