Precautions (continued)
On heat buildup
• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction.
• To prevent heat build-up in the system, place the
system in a location with adequate ventilation and
refrain from placing anything on the top of the
cabinet.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole.
On operation
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement,
locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets
are attached or used near the speaker system, such as
audio racks, TV stands and toys. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives
on any of its surfaces as this may damage the
system.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Note on CD-R/CD-RW play
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording
condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording, cannot be played back.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do
not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or
solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
