Precautions
Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
On placement
• Do not install the unit in a confined space such
as a bookshelf or similar unit.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It
is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position only.
• Keep the unit, discs and cassettes away from
equipment with strong magnets, such as
microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
On operation
• When you move the player, take out any discs. If
you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• 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 lenses
inside the player and cause damage to the video
head, tape, and the optical block. Should this
occur, the player may not operate properly.
When you first install the player, or when you
move it from a cold to a warm location, remove
the disc and tape and leave the player turned on
for about three hours before operating the
player.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a
section with very low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is played.
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.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners
(including wet or spray types). These may cause
the player to malfunction.
On cleaning the video heads
When the video heads are dirty, clean the video
heads using a Sony video head cleaning cassette. If
a Sony cleaning cassette is not available in your
area, have the heads cleaned at your nearest Sony
dealer (a standard service fee will be charged). Do
not use a commercially available liquid type
cleaning cassette, as it may damage the video
heads.
On replacement of parts
In the event that this unit is repaired, repaired parts
may be collected for reuse or recycling purposes.
