Precautions (continued)
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. Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned
on for about 2 hours until the moisture evaporates.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can
be used near TV sets. However, the picture on certain
TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a
case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after
15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks,
TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.
Notes on CDs
• Do not use a CD with tape, stickers, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use
solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for
vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
Troubleshooting
If you have any problem using this system, use the
following checklist.
First, check that the AC power cord is connected

Should any problem persist, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
