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 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

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

—Subject to vibrations

—Subject to direct sunlight

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 VIDEO CD/CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

•When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be on the disc tray.

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

Notes on CDs/VIDEO CDs

•Before playing a CD/VIDEO CD, clean the disc surface with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

•Do not play a disc with tape, stickers, or adhesives on any of its surfaces as this may damage the system.

•Do not clean discs with solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B as illustrated.

Break off the cassette tab of side A

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the tape deck’s playing mechanism and become damaged.
