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 power cord (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.
•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
•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
–Subject to vibrations
–Subject to direct sunlight.
•Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On heat buildup
•Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
•Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the system.
•If you continuously use this system at a high 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 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. 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.
•When you move the system, take out any disc.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on discs
•Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
•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.
•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 unit 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
