Precautions

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the
receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating
it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is
identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is
indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
• The receiver is not disconnected from the AC power source as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of
safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a
malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably.
To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
• Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the unit.
• Do not place the unit 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.
• Use caution when placing the unit 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 receiver.
• The sound fields memorized for each input and the preset stations
are retained for about a day even if you disconnect the AC power
cord.
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 question or problem concerning your receiver, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
