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 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 a component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

•The mains lead 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.
