Precautions

On operating voltage(For the model with the voltage selector)

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

The voltage selector is located at the rear of the apparatus.

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 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 the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

When you connect the mains lead to the mains, even if the power is off, the system begins charging for remote and timer functions. Therefore the surface of this unit become warm, this is normal.

On placement

Make sure the system fan is on during use. Place the system in a location with adequate air circulation, and do not place anything on top of the system.

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

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 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 or on the pinch roller and heads inside the tape deck. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or the tape and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On transportation

Make sure you remove a disc, and turn off the system. If you move the system with the disc inserted, you may be unable to remove the disc.

Before you move the system, turn off the system and make sure all operations have finished.

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

On the speaker system

This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can be used near TV sets. However, the picture on some TV sets may become 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.

Notes on CDs

Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as this may damage the player.

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

Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
