Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
• 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.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if
it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the cord (AC power cord), pull it
out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component, unplug the stereo system and have
the component checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo
system.
• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.
• Do not place the unit in locations where it is;
' Extremely hot or cold
- Dusty or dirty
- Very humid
- Vibrating
' Subject to direct sunlight.
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 lens inside the CD
player or the MD deck. Should this occur, the
system will not operate properly. Remove the CD
or MD and leave the system turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the CD player, remove all of the
discs in the CD player, turn off the power, and
disconnect the power cord after all of the
indicators on the CD player turn off.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your stereo system, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
Although this speaker system is magnetically
shielded, there may be cases where the picture on
some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/
personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30
minutes turn it on again.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate
the speaker system further away from the TV set.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which
magnets are attached or used near the TV set, such
as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may
cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
Protecting a recorded MD
To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the
side-of the MD so the tab is concealed.
In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To
record on the MD, slide close the tab.
Notes on MDs
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close
the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.
