• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed
to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong
magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside this system and
cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit,
or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait
for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of
the system
The screen surface is finished with a special coating to
prevent strong light reflections.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or
throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
• Do not touch the display panel after operating the system
continuously for a long period as the display panel
becomes hot.
• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little
as possible.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the soft cloth.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and
cabinet material.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the
dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
On placement
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.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaner
Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc
or disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may
cause apparatus to malfunction.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following procedure to
protect the inner mechanism.
1 Press INPUT repeatedly to select “DVD.”
2 Make sure that the disc is removed from the system.
3 Press s (stop) and POWER on the system
simultaneously.
“MECHA LOCK” appears in the front panel display.
The lift unit is now set in the shipping position (down).
4 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead) from the
wall outlet (mains).
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, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside
the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
This system can only play back a standard circular disc.
Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or
star shape) may cause a malfunction.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory
attached, such as a label or ring.
