Precautions
On safety
• Operate the system only on 3 V DC (two size AAA
(R03) batteries).
• If the system is not to be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused
by battery leakage and corrosion.
On operation
• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
have the system checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there
may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal
computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal
computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on
again. For the personal computer set, take the
appropriate measures such as data storage before
turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the
system further away from the TV set/personal
computer set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects
in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/
personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands,
toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the
picture due to their interaction with the system.
On placement
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the
cabinet.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
