On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup
and prolong the life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too
close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor
antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the receiver or
speakers on surfaces that have been
specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface
may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
If you encounter color
irregularity on a nearby TV
screen
The front speakers, center speaker and the sub
woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to
be installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularities may still be observed on certain
types of
TV sets.
As the surround speakers are not magnetically
shielded, we recommend that you place the
surround speakers slightly further away from
the TV set (page 12).
If color irregularity is
observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV
set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the
volume on the receiver.
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 receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
