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 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 will not be used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the power 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.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
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
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold place
to a warm place, 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 an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• When moving the system, remove any disc that
may be on the disc tray.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives
on any of its surfaces as this may damage the
system.
• Do not clean CDs with solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side
B as illustrated.
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording,
cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However,
be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow
the tape player to automatically detect the type of
tape.
