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 mechanical shock.

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

•Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna (aerial).)

•Use caution when placing the receiver 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.

About S-AIR function

•As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio waves, sound may skip when radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not malfunction.

•As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with sound transmission.

•As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth, interference or poor transmission may result. In this case, take the following steps:

–Do not install the system near other wireless systems.

–Do not use the system and the other wireless systems at the same time.

•The transmission distance differs depending on the usage environment. Find a location where transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit and sub unit there.
