Precautions
If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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 component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
•AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build- up in the stereo system.
On condensation in the CD player component
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 CD player will not operate. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated. If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
When you are using a TYPE II (CrO2) or TYPE IV (metal) cassette, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.
Detector slots
In case colour irregularity is observed on nearby TV screen
With the magnetically shielded type of speaker system, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, colour irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.
If colour irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
If colour irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.
