Sony CFD-S05 Operating Instructions

To set the clock, press the 'Clock' button, use the 'Tuning +/–' buttons to set the hour, press 'Enter', then use the 'Tuning +/–' buttons again to set the minutes, and press 'Enter' to confirm.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the device and a working electrical outlet. Check if the batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted if using battery power.
Extend the antenna fully and adjust its position. Place the unit near a window or away from obstructions. For FM, switch to 'FM stereo' mode if possible.
Check if the CD is inserted with the label side up. Ensure the CD is clean and free from scratches. Try playing a different CD to determine if the issue is with the disc itself.
Turn off the device and unplug it. Use a lens cleaning disc specifically designed for CD players, or gently clean the lens with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Check the volume level and ensure it is not muted. Verify that the headphones are not connected, which would disable the speakers. Ensure the function is set to the correct source (e.g., Radio, CD, Tape).
Insert a blank cassette tape, tune to the desired radio station, press the 'Record' button, and then press 'Play'. Press 'Stop' when you are done recording.
The Sony CFD-S05 does not support external speakers directly. It is designed to use its built-in speakers for audio output.
To perform a factory reset, disconnect the power supply and remove any batteries. Press and hold the 'Power' button for about 10 seconds, then reconnect the power and restart the device.
The Sony CFD-S05 requires six size C (R14) batteries for portable operation. Ensure they are inserted with the correct polarity.
