Before operating the unit, please read the following precautions
carefully.
Check the operating voltage of the unit before operation.
Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object should
fall into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have it checked by
qualified personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not use it for a
long time. Disconnect the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the
cord itself.
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.
As the laser beam used in this unit is harmful to the eyes, do not
attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service
shop.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please
contact your nearest Sony dealer.
For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet “IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS”.
Notes on handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch
the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
* Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as
hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there
may be a considerable rise in the temperature.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
Caution on adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low
level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be
damaged when a peak level portion is played.
