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 system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system 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 a qualified service shop.

On placement

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

•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

–Vibrating

–Subject to direct sunlight.

On heat buildup

–Although the system heats up during operation, this is not malfunction.

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

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 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.
