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 system and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
• 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 ventilation slots by putting
anything on the system. The system 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 system on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
• 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 discs.
If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• For power saving purposes, the system can be
completely turned off by the POWER switch
on the main unit. Though the LED remains lit
for a while, the system is completely off.
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 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 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
persists, place the speakers farther away from the
set.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system 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.
