Precautions

If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On safety

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

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 mains if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into a component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

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

On installation

Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build- up in the stereo system.

On condensation in the CD player and the MD deck component

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 lens inside the CD player or the MD deck. Should this occur, the CD player or the MD deck will not operate. Remove the CD or the MD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

Notes on handling MDs

Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or fingerprints. However, malfunctioning may result if the cartridge itself is dirty or warped.

Do not open the shutter on the MD cartridge

Trying to force the shutter open will damage the shutter.

Shutter Cartridge

In case colour irregularity is observed on a nearby TV screen (For Mj-L1 only)

With this magnetically shielded type of speaker system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, colour irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

If colour irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

If colour irregularity is observed again...

Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

Maintenance

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

To clean the CD

When a CD is dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

Notes on CD

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause a tracking error.

Notes on MD

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge surface by wiping it with a dry cloth.
