User manual SONY TC-M929

[. . . ] Do not connect this plug to any other system or mains supply. This system is equipped with the Dolby* B-type and C-type noise reduction system. * Dolby noise reduction manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Here are some of the features you can use with this tape deck when connected with the CMT-SD1/SD3 compact Hi-Fi component system (see page 4). [. . . ] If you want to record starting from the bottom side, press ª (for the bottom side) so the indicator on the ª button lights up. * This tape deck is able to switch between Dolby Btype and C-type noise reduction systems. With manual recording, you can record just the songs you like from a CD, or start recording from the middle of the tape. You can also record a radio programme or MD. When you press 1/u on the tape deck while the CMT-SD1/SD3 is power on, only the tape deck turns on/off. The TAPE indicator lights up in red when a cassette is inserted and goes off when no cassette is inserted. When you want to reduce the hiss noise in lowlevel high-frequency signals, set DOLBY NR to "B" or "C" before step 5. Switching DOLBY NR while recording will cause the newly recorded sound to differ in quality from the previously recorded sound. If the tape reaches the end of the top side during both sides recording, the fadeout feature prevents the track from ending abruptly at the end of the tape (Fade Synchro). The track is recorded again from the beginning of the bottom side. The fadeout feature also works when you record on one side only. To timer record, you must first preset the radio station and set the clock on the CMT-SD1/SD3 (refer to the CMT-SD1/SD3 component system Operating Instructions). Press § again to close the cassette tray. With the side you want to record on facing up Press +/­ to set the hour, then press ENTER. Set the time to stop recording following the procedure in step 4. The power turns on automatically at the start time, the recorging starts, then the power turns off at the stop time. Press +/­ repeatedly until "TUNER to TAPE" appears, then press ENTER. The start time appears, followed by the stop time, preset number and "TAPE", then the original display appears. Turn off the power, connect the components correctly, and turn on the power again. The front panel of this tape deck is made of tempered glass, which has been known to break in extreme circumstances. The start time appears, followed by the stop time, the preset number, and "TAPE", then the original display appears. 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. [. . . ] Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzene, since they may damage the finish. If you have any questions or problems concerning your tape deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
