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 AC
power source (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
the component, unplug the stereo system
and have the component checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• AC power cord 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.
Detector slots
In case colour irregularity is
observed on nearby TV screen
With the 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.
