Precautions
Safety
• For SLV-778HF/777HF operate the unit only on 120
V AC, 60 Hz. For SLV-778HF PX, operate the unit on
110 to 240 V AC, 50/60Hz.
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• This 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.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the power outlet
only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, contact your Sony dealer.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat buildup.
