Sony MHC-M20 Operating Instructions Manual page 43

Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a
• •
cleaning cloth from the center outward
to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such
• •
as benzine, thinner, or commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight
• •
or heat sources such as hot air ducts,
nor leave them in a car parked in direct
sunlight.
On safety
• • Completely disconnect the AC power
cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet
(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 system, unplug the system, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it again.
AC power cord (mains lead) must be
• •
changed only at the qualified service
shop.
On handling the system
This system is not drip-proof or
waterproof. Make sure not to splash water
on the system or clean it with water.
On placement
• • Do not place the system 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, wax, oil,
polish) as staining or discoloration of
the surface may result.
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 unit,
and cause the system to malfunction.
In this situation, remove the disc, and
leave the system 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 a 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 obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
The 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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system 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.
On BLUETOOTH communication
BLUETOOTH devices should be used
• •
within approximately 10 meters
(33 feet) (unobstructed distance)
of each other. The effective
communication range may become
shorter under the following conditions.
— When a person, metal object, wall
or other obstruction is between
the devices with a BLUETOOTH
connection
— Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed
— Around microwave ovens that are
in use
— Locations where other
electromagnetic waves are
generated
