IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance,  
and keep this manual for future reference.  
HD Radio Broadcasting was approved by the Federal  
Communications Commission in October 2002 as the  
system for digital AM and FM broadcasting in the U.S.  
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance and in the operating  
instructions, and adhere to them.

INSTALLATION  
The shape and the length of the antenna is designed to  
receive AM signals. Do not dismantle or roll up the  
antenna.  
FM/AM Digital Radio  
Wa t e r a n d Mo ist u re  
HD Radio technology features include:  
– Static-free, clear radio reception.  
Do not use powerline operated appliances near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,  
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.  
– FM Multicasting – the ability to broadcast multiple  
program streams over a single FM frequency.  
– A variety of “data services,” including text-based  
information – artist name, song title, etc. scrolled  
across your receiver display.  
– Digital broadcasts in the same frequencies as analog  
broadcasts; listeners do not need to learn a new station  
number and today’s stations remain at their current  
place on the dial.

INFORMATION  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to  
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment  
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy  
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the  
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio  
communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If  
this equipment does cause harmful 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:

Gro u n d in g o r Po la riza t io n  
This appliance is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow  
the instructions below:  
-Fo r t h e a p p lia n ce w it h a p o la rize d AC p o w e r co rd p lu g :  
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact  
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized  
plug by forcing it in.  
-Fo r t h e a p p lia n ce w it h a t h re e -w ire g ro u n d in g t yp e AC p lu g :  
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat  
the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

Precautions  
Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.  
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by the cord.  
supplied AM antenna cord has no polarity.  
• Play the unit on the power source specified in  
“Specifications”.  
Po w e r-Co rd Pro t e ct io n  
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits  
from the appliance.  
Tip  
• To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), pull it  
out by the plug, not the cord.  
Adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for best AM  
broadcast sound.  
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV  
technician for help.  
• 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.  
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is  
located on the bottom exterior.  
• 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 possible  
damage from the magnet.  
• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source  
such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration,  
or shock.  
Lig h t n in g  
To connect the FM antenna  
For added protection for this appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and  
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable  
system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and powerline surges.  
You are cautioned that any changes or modifications  
not expressly approved in this manual could void  
your authority to operate this equipment.  
This unit comes supplied with an FM wire antenna and  
FM dipole antenna. Connect an antenna that provides  
good reception to the FM antenna terminal.  
Ob je ct a n d Liq u id En t ry  
Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous  
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any  
kind on the appliance.

No t e t o t h e CATV In st a lle r  
Ou t d o o r An t e n n a Gro u n d in g  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system  
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that  
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in  
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be  
connected to the grounding system of the building, as  
close to the point of cable entry as practical.  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and  
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect  
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an  
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
FM dipole antenna  
(supplied)  
• Never touch the wire of the external FM antenna  
during a thunderstorm. Furthermore, immediately  
disconnect the AC power code from the radio.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Adjusting the FM dipole antenna  
Be sure to fully extend the FM dipole antenna. Attach  
the antenna in the shape of a T to a high position on a  
wall away from this unit.  
Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions:  
-When the power cord or plug is damage or frayed.  
-If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the appliance.  
-If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.  
-The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.  
-This indicates a need for service.  
Tip  
-If the appliance does not operate normally when following the operating instructions, adjust only  
those controls that are specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and will often require extensive work  
by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.  
-If the appliance has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
If you have poor FM reception, use a 75 coaxial cable  
(not supplied) to connect the unit to an outdoor FM  
antenna as shown below.
