Additional Information

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 the 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.
