Troubleshooting - Sony TA-DK2 Operating Instructions Manual

On placement
• Place the amplifier in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup
and prolong the life of the amplifier.
• Do not place the amplifier near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the amplifier near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If
the amplifier is being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an
indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend
using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the amplifier on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the amplifier.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your amplifier, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
