Precautions

On safety

this product will increase eye hazard.

the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while
driving, cycling, or operating any motorised
vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in some areas. It can also be
potentially dangerous to play your headsets
at high volume while walking, especially at
pedestrian crossings. You should exercise
extreme caution or discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
On power sources
• Disconnect the DC IN 10V jack first, then
disconnect from the mains, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the unit for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the unit
from the mains and/or detach the battery
pack. To disconnect the AC power
adapter, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
On placement
Do not place the unit in a location where it
is;

(Sound noise or picture noise may occur
when another TV, tuner, VCR, or other
electrical appliance is near by. Indoor
aerials may also adversely effect picture
and sound quality. In this case, use an
outdoor aerial instead.)
On operation
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold

damp room, moisture may condense on
the lenses inside the unit. Should this

In this case, remove the disc and leave the
unit turned on for about 30 minutes until
the moisture evaporates. If the unit
doesn't operate properly after hours,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

otherwise allow any shock to the unit. It
may cause a malfunction.

played.
