Precautions

On safety

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

Caution – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

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

On cleaning

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

On your TV’s color

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

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

On placement

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) that may block the ventilation slots.

Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

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

Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the recorder. If the ventilation slots on the bottom surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.

Do not place the recorder on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

Do not place the recorder in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the recorder. Should this occur, the recorder may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the recorder turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When you move the player, take out any discs. If you don’t, the discs may be damaged.

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