Precautions - Sony EXR-22 Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions
e 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 supplied to the unit, check the connections first. If
everything is in order, check the fuse.
¢ If no sound comes from the speakers of a 2-speaker system, set
the fader control to the center position.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that are
not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on Cassettes
Cassette care
¢ Avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette, as any dirt or dust
will contaminate the heads.
e 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.
¢ When the tape is played back for a long time, the cassette shell
may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier.
However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.
Notes on Cassettes longer than 90 minutes
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not recommended
except for tong continuous play. The tapes used for these cassettes
are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. Frequent playing and
stopping operation may cause these tapes to be pulled into the
cassette deck mechanism.
Notes on the Front Panel
e When you detach the front panel, turn off the power to the unit.
However, if you detach the front panel while the unit is turned on,
the power will automatically be turned off. This will protect
speakers from being damaged.
e Do not expose the front panel to direct sunlight, heat sources such
as hot air-ducts, extremely cold temperatures or moisture.
