Precautions

On safety

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

On power sources

•Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.

•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.

•If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

•The AC power cord should be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. Further, it is not a malfunction that the upper left corner of the unit heats up while the power is on. If you continuously use this unit at a high volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, sides and bottom will rise considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

On placement

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

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

•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

•Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

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.

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