Precautions - Sony SMP-U10 Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid
fall into the cabinet, unplug the
player and have it checked by
qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• If you are not going to use the
player for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the player from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the
AC power cord (mains lead),
grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• Do not touch the mains lead or
the AC adaptor with wet hands.
Doing so may cause shock
hazard.
On placement
• Place the player in a location
with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player on a soft
surface such as a rug.
• Do not place the player in a
location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not install this equipment in a
confined space, such as a
bookshelf or similar unit.
On AC adaptor
• Use the supplied AC adaptor for
this player, as other adaptors
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble or reverse-
engineer.
• Do not confine the AC adaptor in
a closed place such as a
bookshelf or an AV cabinet.
• Do not connect the AC power
adaptor to a traveler's electric
transformer, which may generate
heat and cause a malfunction.
• Do not drop or apply shock.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while
listening to a section with very low
level inputs or no audio signals. If
you do, the speakers may be
damaged when a peak level section
is played.
Lightning
For added protection for this set
during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet. This will
prevent damage to the set due to
lightning and powerline surges.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet and controls 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
alcohol or benzine.
On replacement of parts
In the event that this unit is
repaired, repaired parts may be
collected for reuse or recycling
purposes.
