Precautions - Sony SCD-C555ES Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions

On safety
• Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.
• 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.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service
shop.
On power sources
• Before operating the player, check that the operating voltage of
the player is identical with your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of
the player.
• The player is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is
attached to the mains, even if the player itself has been turned
off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the player from the mains. To disconnect the mains
lead, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
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 that
might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical
shock.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location,
or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on
the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may
not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave
the player turned on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
• During power on, some noise may be heard while the disc is
being loaded into the Super Audio CD player. This is not a
malfunction.
On adjusting the volume
• Do not turn up the volume too much while listening to a
portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is
played.
On inserting a disc
• You may hear a transmission or a mechanical sound from the
player. This indicates that the player is automatically adjusting
its internal mechanisms according to the inserted disc.
You may also hear the mechanical sound from the player when
you insert a warped disc.
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.
On transportation
• Be sure to remove the disc on the tray.
• Be sure to close the disc tray.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
