Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage of your unit 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 unit 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 unit and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On placement

•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 heat buildup

•Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.

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

If you continuously use this unit at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for the cooling fan.

On operation

•If the unit 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.

Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

•When you move the unit, take out any discs.

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

Notes on CDs

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

•Do not use solvents.

•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources.

•Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the drive's characteristics. Besides, the discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of recording, cannot be played back.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
