Additional Information
Precautions
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage of your system is identical with
the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• The system is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is connected to
the wall outlet, even if the system 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 (mains lead), pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it 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 system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is;
- Extremely hot or cold
- Dusty or dirty
- Very humid
- Vibrating
- Subject to direct sunlight.
• To ensure that heat produced by the system is
effectively dissipated, provide sufficient space to
the rear and do not place anything on top of the
system.
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 any CDs
or MDs and leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
On transportation
• Make sure you remove all discs, and turn off the
system. If you move the system with the discs
inserted, you may be unable to remove the discs.
• Before you move the system, turn off the system
and make sure all operations have finished. Then
insert the transport cartridge to the MD 4 slot of
the MD deck with the arrow side up and the
arrow pointing toward the deck. Firmly insert and
bend the paper attached to the cartridge, then
close the door of the MD deck. Do not move the
MD deck without inserting the transport cartridge,
as this may cause deck trouble.
— Be sure to bend the paper.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your 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 sp»eaker
system, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc.
These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture
due to their interaction with the system.
