14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

On safety

The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc., is located on the bottom exterior.

Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply.

Where purchasedOperating voltage
All countries/regions100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.

After operating the system with the AC power adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if the system is not to be used for an extended period of time. Just switching the /1 button to standby does not turn the AC power adaptor off.

On placementDo not set the speaker in an inclined position.

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

On operationDo not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

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

Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or floppy disks with magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended period of time.

On cleaningDo not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.

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

If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. For the personal computer set, take the appropriate measures such as data storage before turning it off. When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system further away from the TV set/personal computer set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.
