Precautions
Safety
* For SLV-998HF/998HF MX, operate the unit only on
120 V AC, 60 Hz. For SLV-998HF PX/998HF CS,
operate the unit on 110 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
* 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.
* (SLV-998HF only) 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
the cord.
