PrecautionsOn 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 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.

•The AC power cord (mains lead) 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

—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 any discs.

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

Notes on MDs

•If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately without touching the disc inside.

•Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the specified label indentation. Do not affix the label around the shutter or in other locations. Note that the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.
