Precautions
On safety
•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 system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
•The system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.
•If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
•Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
On placement
•Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
•Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
•Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
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 lenses inside the system. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On adjusting volume
•Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is played.
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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
