Power-Cord Protection
— Route the power
cord so that it is not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the
cord exits from the appliance.
Lightning
— For added protection for this
appliance during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the appliance
due to lightning and powerline surges.

recommended by Sony, as they may cause
hazards.
Cleaning

wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

cleaning the exterior of the appliance. Clean
the appliance only as recommended by

Object and Liquid Entry
— Never push
objects of any kind into the appliance
through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the
appliance.
