Precautions
On safety
Completely disconnect the power
cord (mains lead) from the wall
socket (mains) if it is not going to
be used for an extended period of
time. When unplugging the unit,
always grip the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid
get into the unit, unplug the unit,
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it
again.
The AC power cord can be
changed only by a qualified
service facility.
On placement
Do not place the unit in an
inclined position or in locations
that are extremely hot, cold,
dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject
to vibration, direct sunlight or a
bright light.
Be careful when placing the
unit or speakers on surfaces that
have been specially treated (for
example, with wax, oil, polish) as
staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
If the unit 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, and
cause the unit to malfunction. In
this situation, remove the disc,
and leave the unit turned on for
about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during
operation is normal and is not
cause for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has
been used continuously at a high
volume because the cabinet may
have become hot.
Do not block the ventilation
holes on the bottom of this unit.
Doing so will prevent the heat
produced by the unit’s amplifier
to build up, which may cause the
unit to malfunction. Make sure
these holes are free from any
obstruction.
When moving the unit
Do not move the unit while a CD
is inserted. Doing so may damage
the CD.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not
magnetically shielded, and the
picture on nearby TV sets may
become magnetically distorted. In
this situation, turn off the TV, wait
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back
on. If there is no improvement, move
the speakers far away from the TV.
On volume adjustment
CDs reproduce sound with
considerably less noise than vinyl
records. For this reason, if you raise
the volume while listening to a
segment containing only noise (as
you might do in the case of a vinyl
record), a sudden output of high-
volume sound may cause damage to
the speakers.
Make sure to lower the volume
before the start of playback.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate
level out of consideration of your
neighbors, especially at night.
About the Hard Disk Drive
Because of its high storage density,
the hard disk can read and write data
a very high speeds. It is, however,
easily damaged by mechanical
vibration, shock, or dust. Although
the hard disk is equipped with
safety mechanisms to prevent the
lost of data due to these factors, the
following precautions should be
taken during the handling of the
unit.
Do not subject the unit to strong
shocks or vibrations.
Do not place the unit in a location
subject to mechanical vibration or
at an unstable location.
Do not move the unit while the
power cord is connected to a wall
outlet.
Do not disconnect the power
cord while the unit is recording or
playing a track.
Do not use the unit in a place
subject to extreme changes in
temperature (a temperature
gradient greater than 18°F (10°C)/
hour).
Do not attempt to replace or
upgrade the hard disk drive by
yourself, as this may cause the unit
to malfunction.
Sony cannot provide compensation
for any loss of data caused by a
damaged hard disk drive.
