Precautions
•Play the unit on the power source specified in “Specifications”.
•To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug, not the cord.
•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.
•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.
•Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring- wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
•Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by a qualified personnel before operating it any further.
•To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
•Never touch the wire of the external FM antenna during a thunderstorm. Furthermore, immediately disconnect the AC power code from the radio.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Find a place and an orientation that provide good reception.
•Do not place the AM loop antenna near the unit or other AV equipment, as noise may result.
•If you use an external polarized AM antenna, be sure to connect the ground cord to the U terminal. The supplied AM antenna cord has no polarity.
TipAdjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for best AM broadcast sound.
To connect the FM antennaThis unit comes supplied with an FM wire antenna and FM dipole antenna. Connect an antenna that provides good reception to the FM antenna terminal.
FM wire antenna (supplied)FM dipole antenna (supplied)Adjusting the FM wire antennaBe sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna, and keep it as horizontal or vertical as possible.
Adjusting the FM dipole antennaBe sure to fully extend the FM dipole antenna. Attach the antenna in the shape of a T to a high position on a wall away from this unit.
Tip
If you have poor FM reception, use a 75 Ω coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the unit to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below.
ANTENNA
Outdoor FM antennaThis plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
This plug will only fit into a
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
When not in useUnplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by the cord.
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the appliance.
LightningFor added protection for this appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and powerline surges.
Object and Liquid EntryNever push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

ANTENNASOutdoor Antenna GroundingIf an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
