Additional Information
Precautions
On the speaker system
For SS-EX880
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded.
Locate the speaker system further away from the TV
set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in
which magnets are attached or used near the TV set,
such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may
cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
For SS-MD717
Although this speaker system is magnetically
shielded, there may be cases where the picture on
some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/
personal computer set once, and after 15 to
30 minutes turn it on again.
When there seems to be no improvement,
locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which
magnets are attached or used near the TV set, such
as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may
cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Precautions when moving the
system
• Make sure you remove all discs, and turn off the
system. If you move the system with the discs
inserted, you may be unable to remove the discs.
• Before you move the system, turn off the system
and make sure all operations have finished. Then
do the following:
– Insert the transport cartridge to the lowermost
slot of the MD deck with the arrow side up in
the direction of the arrow. Insert the cartridge
firmly, then close the door of the MD deck. Do
not move the MD deck without inserting the
transport cartridge, as this may cause deck
trouble.
– Insert the transit key firmly into the hole on the
bottom of the CD player, and turn it 90° to lock
it. Do not move the CD player without locking
the transit key, as this may cause CD player
trouble.
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 wall outlet (mains) if
it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component, unplug the stereo system and have
the component checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo
system.
• 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
– Vibrating
– Subject to direct sunlight.
On operation
• If the stereo 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your stereo system, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
