XR-C8220

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Cassette

Player. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of

features as well as a supplied rotary

commander or a card remote commander.

In addition to the cassette playback and radio

operations, you can expand your system by

connecting an optional CD/MD unit*

If you connect an optional CD unit with the

CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT information

will appear in the display when you play a CD

TEXT disc*

You can connect a CD changer, an MD changer,

a CD player, or a MD player.

A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes

information such as the disc name, artist name,

and track names.

This information is recorded on the disc.

Voice guide for safe driving

This unit has a voice guide function*. When

the voice guide function is on, the unit gives

vocalized comments on functions

corresponding to the relevant button pushed.

These comments can be vocalized in either

English or Spanish.

* Some optional power amplifiers may cause a

break at the beginning of vocalized comments.

When you connect an optional MD changer, the

sound from the first MD may continue for a

short time even after the vocalized comments

about the second MD are announced.
