For Your Information

Precautions
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your stereo system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the
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 mains if it is
not to be used for an extended period of
time. To disconnect the mains lead, pull
it out by the plug. Never pull the cord
itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
a component, unplug the stereo system
and have the component checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• The mains lead must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-
up in the stereo system.
On condensation in the CD player
component
If the system is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the CD player. Should this
occur, the CD player will not operate.
Remove the CD and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over, break off the cassette tab
from side A or B as illustrated. If you later
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.

When you are using a TYPE II (CrO
TYPE IV (METAL) cassette, be careful not
to cover the detector slots which allow the
tape player to automatically detect the type
of tape.

In case colour irregularity is observed
on nearby TV screen
With this magnetically shielded type of
speaker system, the speakers can be installed
near a TV set. However, colour irregularity
may still be observed on the TV screen
depending on the type of your TV set.
If colour irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after
15 to 30 minutes.
If colour irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speakers farther away from the TV
set.
