Additional Information

Precautions

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 will not be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

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

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

On placement

Do not place the system in an inclined position.

Do not place the system in locations where it is:

Extremely hot or cold

Dusty or dirty

Very humid

Subject to vibrations

Subject to direct sunlight

On heat buildup

Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.

To prevent heat build-up in the system, place the system in a location with adequate ventilation and refrain from placing anything on the top of the cabinet.

If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for the cooling fan.

On operation

If the system is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, 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 system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or MD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be in the system.

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

On the speaker system

Although this speaker system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases where the picture on some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.

If there seems to be no improvement, locate the speaker system further away from the TV set. Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the speaker system, such as audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.
