Using the Radio

Data System (RDS)

(For the European model

What is the Radio Data

System?

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows radio stations to send

additional information along with the regular

program signal. This tuner offers convenient

RDS features, such as monitoring traffic, news,

or information programs and locating a station

by program type. RDS is available only on FM

stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are

tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly

or if the signal strength is weak.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they all provide the same types of services. If you

are not familiar with the RDS system, check with

your local radio stations for details on RDS services

in your area.

Important

If you connect an outdoor antenna, connect a

ground wire to the y terminal with the screw

clamp. To prevent a gas explosion, do not

connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage of your system is identical with

the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

•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.

•Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if

it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by

the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

component, unplug the stereo system and have

the component checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

•The AC power cord must be changed only at a

qualified service shop.

On placement

•Place the stereo system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo

system.

•Do not place the system in an inclined position.

•Do not place the system in locations where it is;

— Extremely hot or cold

— Dusty or dirty

— Very humid

— Subject to vibrations

— Subject to direct sunlight

On operation

• If the stereo system is brought directly from a cold

to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp

room, moisture may condense on the lens inside

the CD player. Should this occur, the system will

not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave

the system turned on for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

•When you move the system, take out any discs.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your stereo system, please consult your nearest

Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

•Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the CD from the center out.

•Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

Additional Information Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild

detergent solution.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded

over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as

illustrated.

Detector slots

Tab of side B Tab of side A

Side A

Break off the

cassette tab of

continued

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording,

cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However,

be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow

the tape player to automatically detect the type of

tape.

Tape type: CrO2/Metal Normal

Troubleshooting

If you run into any problem using this stereo

system, use the following checklist.

First, check that the power cord is connected

firmly and the speakers are connected

correctly and firmly.

Should any problem persist, consult your

nearest Sony dealer.

General

The display starts flashing as soon as you

plug in the power cord even though you

haven’t turned on the system

(demonstration mode).

•Press DISPLAY (for LBT-W5000/W300/

XB700/XB500) or DEMO (STANDBY)

(for other models) while the system is off.

If the system is in the Power Saving

mode, press POWER SAVE/DEMO

(STANDBY) (for LBT-W5000/W300/

XB700/XB500).

The demonstration appears automatically

the first time you plug in the power cord,

or if there is a power outage lasting

longer than half a day.

The clock setting/radio presetting is

canceled.

•The power cord is disconnected or a

power failure occurs for more than half a

day.

Redo the following procedures:

– “Step 3: Setting the time” on page 7.

– “Step 4: Presetting radio stations” on

page 8.

To set the timer function again, also redo

“Waking up to music” on page 38 and

“Timer-recording radio programs” on

page 39.

There is no sound.

•Turn VOLUME clockwise.

•The headphones are connected.

•Insert only the stripped portion of the

speaker cord into the SPEAKER jack.

Inserting the vinyl portion of the speaker

cord will interfere with the speaker

connection.

•The volume level is automatically set to

the minimum during the Timer-

recording.

Before placing a cassette in the

tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape

may get entangled inside the tape deck and become

damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90

minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not frequently change

the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-

forwarding, etc. The tape may get entangled in the

tape deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.

When the tape heads become dirty

— the sound is distorted

— there is a decrease in sound level

— the sound drops out

— the tape does not erase completely

— the tape does not record

Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start

an important recording or after playing an old tape.

Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning

cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the

cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that

have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of

use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.

For details, refer to the instructions of the

demagnetizing cassette.

Precautions (continued)

Speakers

There is no sound and “POWER OFF”

appears in the display.

•Press 1/u to turn off the system and

check the speaker connections and

placement.

Sound comes from only one channel or the

left and right volumes are unbalanced.

•Check the speaker connections and

placement.

There is no sound from the surround

speakers (LBT-W300 only).

•Press SURROUND to turn on the

surround effect.

CD Player

The CD tray does not rotate.

•A CD is not placed properly.

A CD will not play.

•The CD is not lying flat in the disc tray.

•The CD is dirty.

•The CD is inserted label side down.

•Moisture condensation has built up.

Remove the CD and leave the system

turned on for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

Play does not start from the first track.

•The player is in Program or Shuffle Play

mode. Press PLAY MODE repeatedly

until “PROGRAM,” “ALL DISCS

SHUFFLE,” or “1 DISC SHUFFLE”

disappears from the display.

Tape Deck

The tape does not record.

•No tape is in the cassette holder.

•The tab has been removed from the

cassette (see page 45).

•The tape has reeled to the end.

There is no microphone sound.

•Turn VOLUME or MIC LEVEL to adjust

the microphone volume.

•Make sure the microphone is connected

to the MIX MIC jack correctly.

There is severe hum or noise.

•A TV or VCR is placed too close to the

stereo system. Move the stereo system

away from the TV or VCR.

“0:00” (for European and Brazilian models)

or “12:00AM” (for other models) flashes in

the display.

•A power interruption occurred. Reset the

clock and timer settings.

The timer does not function.

•Set the clock correctly.

DAILY and REC do not appear when you

press t/CLOCK SET.

•Set the timer correctly.

•Set the clock.

The remote does not function.

•There is an obstacle between the remote

and the system.

•The remote is not pointing in the

direction of the system’s sensor.

•The batteries have run down. Replace the

batteries.

There is acoustic feedback.

•Decrease the volume level.

•Move the microphone away from the

speakers or change the direction of the

microphone.

The color irregularity on a TV screen

persists.

•Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on

after 15 to 30 minutes. If the color

irregularity still persists, place the

speakers farther away from the TV set.
