Thank you for purchasing Sony DVD Home
Theatre System. Before operating this system,
please read this manual thoroughly and retain it
for future reference.
On power sources
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do
not place the unit in a confined space where
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the cooling fan or ventilation slots by
putting anything on the system. Also, do not place the
system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block
the ventilation holes on the bottom. The system is
equipped with a high power amplifier. If the cooling
fan or ventilation slots are blocked, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
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 lenses inside the system. Should
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned
on for about half an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you
don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• For power saving purposes, set the system to standby
mode by pressing the
"

button (the STANDBY
indicator lights up). To turn off the system
completely, remove the AC power cord (mains lead)
from the wall outlet (mains).
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 suddenly 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.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On your TV’s color
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it
on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should
persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the
unit.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
