Precautions - Sony Giga Juke NAS-50HDE Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions

On safety
 Completely disconnect the power cord (mains
lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not going
to be used for an extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.
 Should any solid object or liquid get into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it again.
 The AC power cord can be changed only by a
qualified service facility.
On placement
 Do not place the unit in an inclined position or
in locations that are extremely hot, cold, dusty,
dirty, or humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or a bright
light.
 Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated (for
example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
 If the unit 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, and cause the unit to malfunction. In
this situation, remove the disc, and leave the unit
turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
 Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not cause for alarm.
 Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the cabinet
may have become hot.
 Do not block the ventilation holes on the bottom
of this unit. Doing so will prevent the heat
produced by the unit's amplifier to build up, which
may cause the unit to malfunction. Make sure
these holes are free from any obstruction.
When moving the unit
Do not move the unit while a CD is inserted. Doing
so may damage the CD.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded,
and the picture on nearby TV sets may become
magnetically distorted. In this situation, turn off the
TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. If
there is no improvement, move the speakers far away
from the TV.
On volume adjustment
CDs reproduce sound with considerably less noise
than vinyl records. For this reason, if you raise the
volume while listening to a segment containing only
noise (as you might do in the case of a vinyl record),
a sudden output of high-volume sound may cause
damage to the speakers.
Make sure to lower the volume before the start of
playback.
Consideration for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level out of
consideration of your neighbors, especially at night.
On data back up
Audio data and system settings stored on the unit's
hard disk may be lost during repairs done to the
unit. Before taking the unit in for repairs, it is
recommended that you record the settings on a piece
of paper and that you use the Back Up function
to back up the data to a shared folder on your
computer or a USB hard disk drive (see "Backing up
and restoring audio data" on page 95).
Data on the unit's HDD is subject to damage during
normal operations. To prevent the loss of data, you
should back up the data on a regular basis. Please
note that we cannot take responsibility for any data
that may be lost or affected during normal use or
repairs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this unit with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
Note on the power cord
Before you unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet, make sure that the unit is in standby mode
(the On/Standby indicator is lit up red or orange).
If you unplug the power cord while the unit is
operating (the On/Standby indicator lit up green),
data that was recorded may be lost or the unit may
malfunction.
