NOTE:
These speakers have been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation.
These speakers generate, use and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If these speakers
do cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
speakers off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

– Increase the separation between the speakers and

receiver.

Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the rear speaker,

unplug the rear speaker and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not climb on the rear speaker, as you may fall down and

injure yourself, or the rear speaker damage may result.

On the AC adaptor

Use only the supplied AC adaptor. To avoid damaging the
unit, do not use any other AC adaptor.

On power sources

• Before operating the rear speaker, check that the operating

voltage is identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the
bottom of the rear speaker.

• If you are not going to use the rear speaker for a long time,

be sure to disconnect the rear speaker from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the

purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet (mains) in
only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, contact your dealer.

• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a

qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

• Although the rear speaker heats up during operation, this

is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this rear
speaker at high volume, the rear speaker temperature at
the rear and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the rear speaker.

On placement

• Do not place the rear speaker near heat sources or in a

place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.

• Do not place metal objects other than a TV around the rear

speaker. Wireless functions may be unstable.

• If the rear speaker is being used in combination with a TV,

VCR, or tape deck, noise may result and picture quality may
suffer. In such a case, place the rear speaker away from the
TV, VCR, or tape deck.

• Use caution when placing the rear speaker on a surface

that has been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.),
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

• The speakers of this rear speaker are not of magnetically

shielded type. Do not place magnetic cards on the rear
speaker or near it.

If you encounter color irregularity on a
nearby TV screen

Color irregularities may be observed on certain types of TV
sets.

On cleaning

Clean the rear speaker with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as
alcohol or benzine.

Others

• At high temperature, the charging may stop or the volume

may reduce to protect the battery.

• Even if you do not intend to use the rear speaker for a long

time, charge the battery to its full capacity once every 6
months to maintain its performance.

• When the amount of time that the built-in battery can be

used seems significantly shorter, it could mean that the
rechargeable built-in battery has expired.

If you have any question or problem concerning your rear
speaker, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
