Precautions
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or
if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on
the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is
known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the
unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.
The fan and battery are consumable parts that will need
periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about 5 years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a general
guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these
parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact
your Sony representative.
The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about
5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month).
If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.
Do not push the mesh portion of the front panel with your
fingers or sharp objects.
Operating environment
• Avoid high-temperature rooms and near sources of heat.
• Do not place in locations with strong electric or magnetic
field.
• Dry location with good ventilation.
• Avoid locations exposed to sunlight or strong lighting.
Avoid violent impacts
Dropping the unit, or otherwise imparting a violent shock to it,
is likely to cause it to malfunction.
Do not cover with cloth
While the unit is in operation, do not cover it with a cloth or
other material. This can cause the temperature to rise, leading
to a malfunction.
After use
Set the POWER switch to the OFF position.
Care
If the body or panels of the unit become dirty, wipe them with
a dry cloth. For severe dirt, use a soft cloth steeped in a small
amount of neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use volatile
solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may damage
the finish.
To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communications devices
The use of portable telephones and other communications
devices near this unit can result in malfunctions and
interference with audio and video signals.
It is recommended that the portable communications devices
near this unit be powered off.
