Precautions
On placement
Do not place the system in a confined
space where ventilation is poor as
this may cause overheating.
Do not install the system near heat
sources such as radiators or air ducts,
or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock.
Do not install the system in an
inclined position. It is designed to be
operated in a horizontal position only.
Do not place heavy objects on the
system.
On operation
If the system is brought directly from
a cold location to a warm one, or is
placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside
the unit. Should this occur, the
system may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and leave
the system turned on for about half
an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
If anything falls into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked
by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
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 system, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens
cleaners (including wet or spray
types). These may cause the
apparatus to malfunction.
Before playing, clean the disc with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the
center outward to the edge.
Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
On your TV’s color
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: If you leave the same
image (a still video image, an
on-screen display image, etc.)
displayed on your TV for an
extended period of time, you risk
permanent damage to your
television screen. Projection
televisions are especially susceptible
to this.
On moving the system
Before moving the system, make sure
that there is no disc loaded, and
remove the power cord from the wall
outlet.
On handling discs
To keep the disc clean, handle the
disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.
Do not attach paper or tape to the
disc.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
or heat sources such as hot air ducts,
or leave them in a car parked in direct
sunlight, as the temperature may rise
considerably inside the car.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction.
At high volume, over long periods of
time, the cabinet becomes hot. This is
not a malfunction. However, touching
the cabinet should be avoided.

adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup in the system.
To prevent a malfunction, do not
cover the ventilation openings.
