only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,
square, star) cannot be played on this unit.
Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not
use such discs.
On power sources
For AC operation, use the supplied AC power cord;
do not use any other cord.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
When not using the batteries, remove them to
avoid damage that can be caused by battery
leakage or corrosion.
On placement
Do not leave the unit in a location near heat
sources, in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or mechanical shock, or in a car
subject to the direct rays of the sun.
Do not place the unit on an inclined or unstable
surface.
Do not place anything within 10 mm of the rear of
the cabinet. The ventilation openings must be
unobstructed for the unit to operate properly and
prolong the life of its components.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers,
keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding
or spring-wound watches away from the unit to
prevent possible damage from the magnet.
On operation
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 section. Should this occur, the unit will not
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
On handling the unit
Do not leave the CD compartment open to avoid
dust and debris contamination.
On cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls using 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 unit, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
