On safety
•Should any solid object or liq uid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
•Do not climb on the receiver or the s ubwoofer, as you
may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage
may result.
On power sources
•Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage is identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear of the receiver.
•If you are not going to use the sys tem for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
•One blade of the plug i s wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet
(mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
•AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system
at a large volume, the system temperature of the back
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
•Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the system.
•Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
•Do not place anything at the rear of the receiver that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
•Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is especially
likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
•Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
•Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners
of the receiver or the subwoofer.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be sure to turn off
and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity on
a nearby TV screen
The system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be
installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities
may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30
minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the system further away from the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
