Precautions
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage of your system is identical
with the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• 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.
• Unplug the system from the mains if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the mains lead, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the mains lead itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
• When you connect the mains lead to the mains,
even if the power is off, the system begins charging
for remote and timer functions. Therefore the
surface of this unit become warm, this is normal.
• To prevent fire, do not Cover the ventilation of the
apparatus with news papers, table-cloths, curtains,
etc. And don’t place lighted candles on the
apparatus.
On placement
• Make sure the system fan is on during use.
Place the system in a location with adequate air
circulation, and do not place anything on top of the
system.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build up.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight.
On installing
When you move the system, remove the CD or MD.
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD
player or the MD deck. Should this occur, the
system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or
MD and leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the speaker system, such as
audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Notes on MDs
• If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be
damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately
without touching the disc inside.
• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the
specified label indentation. Do not affix the label
around the shutter or in other locations. Note that
the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.
