Precautions
On safety
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.
Do not climb on the Bar Speaker and subwoofer, as you may fall down
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is
identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated
on the nameplate at the rear of the Bar Speaker.
If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety
and will fit into the wall outlet (mains) only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service
shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this system at high volume, the system
temperature at the rear and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the system.
Do not place the system near heat sources or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
Do not place anything at the rear of the Bar Speaker and subwoofer that
might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck,
noise may result and picture quality may suffer. In such a case, place the
system away from the TV, VCR, or tape deck.
Use caution when placing the system on a surface that has been
specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.), as staining or discoloration
of the surface may result.
Take care to avoid any possible injury from the corners of the Bar
Speaker and subwoofer.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be sure to turn off and unplug the
system.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
Color irregularities may be observed on certain types of TV sets.
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 system further away from the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive
pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
