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 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 mains lead must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On placement

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

Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

Do not place the unit in locations where it is;

Extremely hot or cold

Dusty or dirty

Very humid

Vibrating

Subject to direct sunlight.

On operation

If the stereo 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 the MD deck. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or MD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When you move the system, take out the disc.

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

On the speaker system

Although this speaker system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases where the picture on some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/ personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.

When there seems to be no improvement, locate the speaker system further away from the TV set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.

Protecting a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD so the tab is concealed.

In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record on the MD, slide close the tab.
