Precautions

On placement

At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the system in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

Do not place heavy objects on the system.On operation

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 lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

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 system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On your TV’s colorIMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: If you leave the same image (a still video image, an on-screen display image, etc.) displayed on your TV for an extended period of time, you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

On moving the system

Before moving the system, make sure that there is no disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

On handling discsTo keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.Do not attach paper or tape to the disc.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car.

On cleaning discsBefore playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.Wipe the disc from the center outward to the edge.

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

This system can only play back a standard circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

On heat buildupAlthough the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.

Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the system.

If you continuously use this system at a high volume, the cabinet temperature rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation openings.
