Precautions

On safety

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

On power sources

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

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

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

•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.

On placement

•Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of its components.

•Do not place the unit 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 which might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

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

On cleaning the cabinet

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

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and the packing material. This makes an ideal container when transporting the unit. When shipping the unit, repack it as it was packed at the factory.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit that is not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
