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 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 receiver, 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
further away from the set.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This receiver is capable of holding a
still video image or on-screen display image on
your television screen indefinitely. If you leave
the still video image or on-screen display image
displayed on your TV for an extended period of
time you risk permanent damage to your
television screen. Projection televisions are
especially susceptible to this.
Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with
this product will increase eye hazard.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the
receiver.
• 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 ventilation slots by putting
anything on the receiver. The receiver is
equipped with a high power amplifier. If the
ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked,
the unit can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the receiver on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
• Do not place the receiver in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
• If the receiver 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 receiver. Should this occur, the
receiver may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the receiver turned on
for about half an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• When you move the receiver, take out any discs.
If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• For power saving purposes, the receiver can be
completely turned off by the POWER button on
the main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a
while, the receiver is completely off.
