Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage of your unit 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 unit 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 unit and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•The AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

•Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.

•Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

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

—Extremely hot or cold

—Dusty or dirty

—Very humid

—Vibrating

—Subject to direct sunlight

On operation

•If the unit 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 unit will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

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

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, 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 benzene, 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.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
