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 station name display. 
RDS is available only for FM stations.* 
 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 provide the same type 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.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS 
services, the station name* appears in the 
TUNER information.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station 
name may not appear in the display.
You can set the system to turn off at a preset 
time, so you can fall asleep listening to music. 
You can preset the time in 10 minutes 
decrements.
Press SLEEP.
Each time you press this button, the minutes 
display (the remaining time) changes as follows:
To check the remaining time
Press SLEEP once.
To change the remaining time
Press SLEEP repeatedly to select the desired 
time.
To cancel the Sleep Timer 
function
Press SLEEP repeatedly until “SLEEP  OFF” 
appears in the front panel display.

On power sources
 AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at 
the qualified service shop.
On placement
 Place the system in a location with adequate 
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
 At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet 
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. 
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do 
not place the unit in a confined space where 
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
 Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything 
on the system. The system is equipped with a high 
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked, 
the unit can overheat and malfunction.
 Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug 
and do not block the ventilation holes.
 Do not place the system in a location near heat 
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, 
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
 If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm 
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture 
may condense on the lenses inside the system. Should 
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In 
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned 
on for about half an hour until the moisture 
evaporates.
 When you move the system, take out any disc. If you 
don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On adjusting volume
 Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section 
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you 
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level 
section is suddenly played.
On cleaning
 Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth 
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do 
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or 
solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning 
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs
 Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD 
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On your TV’s color
 If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have 
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after 
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, 
place the speakers farther away from the set.
For model TA-WR2
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following 
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
1Press FUNCTION repeatedly to select 
“DVD.”
2Make sure that all discs are removed from 
the system.
3Press x and "/1 simultaneously. 
“MECHA LOCK” appears in the front panel 
display after “STANDBY.”
4Remove the AC power cord (mains lead) 
from the wall outlet (mains).
Additional Information
Precautions
IMPORTANT NOTICECaution: This system is capable of holding a still 
video image or on-screen display image on your 
television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still 
video image or on-screen display image displayed 
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk 
permanent damage to your television screen. 
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to 
this.
