On heat build-up

•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.

In case color irregularity is observed on a nearby TV screen

With the magnetically shielded type of speakers, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observedagain...

Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your TV 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 TV screen. Projection TVs are especially susceptible to this.

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 unit.

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

•Before you move the unit, make sure that all discs are removed from the unit.

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

On cleaning disc, disc/lens cleaner

Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may cause apparatus to malfunction.

Notes on discs

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

•Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

•Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring. This may cause a malfunction to the system.

•When using discs that have glue or similar tacky substance on the label side of the disc or that used a special ink when the label was printed, there is a chance that the disc or label may become attached to parts inside this unit.When this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this system to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label side of the disc is not sticky before using.

The following types of disc should not be used:

–rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the seal on the disc is tacky.

–discs that have labels printed using a special ink that feels tacky when touched.

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

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.

To save a tape permanently
