Precautions

On safety

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

Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage may result.

On power sources

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.

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

Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.

Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

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 system. 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.

When you move the system, take out any discs. If you do not, the disc may be damaged.

For power saving purposes, the system can be completely turned off by the ! button on the subwoofer. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the system is completely off.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.

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

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On your TV’s color

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the set.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the Control unit and the Tuner.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image 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 carrying the system

When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism. Remove an inserted disc by pressing Z. After removing the disc, press Z again to close the disc shutter. Wait at least 10 seconds after the disc shutter closes, and then turn off the system. If more than 10 seconds have passed with no disc in the system and the disc shutter closed, turn off the system.
