Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug
the deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the deck, check that the operating
voltage of the deck is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the deck.
• The voltage selector is located at the rear of the apparatus.
• 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.
• If you are not going to use the deck for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the deck from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On condensation in the deck
If the deck 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 deck. Should this occur,
the deck may not operate properly. In this case, remove the
CD or MD and leave the deck turned on for about an hour
until the moisture evaporates.
On handling CDs
• To keep the CD clean, handle the CD by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.
• 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 as there can be a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
• Sticky adhesives or inks from the CD label, if present, may
become attached to internal parts, causing jamming of the
CD or malfunction of the unit. Always check the CD label
carefully for sticky substances before inserting the CD. Do
not use the following types of CDs:
— Rental or used CDs with adhesive extending out from
the edge of the sticker. Check along the edge of the
sticker for stickiness.
— CDs with labels printed with special inks that are
sticky to the touch.
Additional Information
On the MiniDisc cartridge
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.
• Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to
extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust.
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
deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
