Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
•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.
•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
•Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
•At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
•Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the receiver. The receiver is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.
•Do not place the receiver on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
•Do not place the receiver in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
•If the receiver is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the receiver. Should this occur, the receiver may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the receiver turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
•When you move the receiver, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
•For power saving purposes, the receiver can be completely turned off by the POWER button on the main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the receiver is completely off.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On your TV’s colour
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have colour irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the set.
