Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric
shock.
When not in use
Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when
left unused for a long period of time.
To disconnect the cord, pull
it out by grasping the plug.
Never pull the plug out by
the cord.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not
likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where
the cord exits from the appliance.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Sony, as they
may cause hazards.
Lightning
For added protection for this appliance during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
appliance due to lightning and powerline surges.
Cleaning
Unplug the appliance from the wall
outlet before cleaning or polishing it.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened
with water for cleaning the exterior of
the appliance. Clean the appliance only
as recommended by Sony.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the
appliance through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the appliance.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the
precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST
INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna Grounding According to the National
Electrical Code
SERVICE
