Precautions

On safety

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

On power sources

Before operating the preamplifier, 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 preamplifier.

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 preamplifier for a long time, be sure to disconnect the preamplifier from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

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

On placement

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

Do not place the preamplifier 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.

On operation

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

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 question or problem concerning your preamplifier, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
