Additional Information
Precautions
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
On the speaker system
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 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 TV set, 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
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close
the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove
dirt.
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do no use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
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 system is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is connected to
the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been
turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not
to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord 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.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
On placement
• 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.
• The system has a radiator at the rear panel to
prevent heat build up. To increase the efficiency
of the radiator, place the system in a location with
sufficient air space in the rear and do not put
anything on top.
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
and leave the system turned on for about an hour
until the moisture evaporates.
On transportation
• When you move the system, remove all the CDs
and MDs, and turn off the system.
• After turning off the system and making sure the
system stops completely, insert the transport MD
cartridge into the MD 3 slot with the arrow-
printed side up. If you transport the system
without the cartridge inserted, it may damage the
MD deck.
