Precautions

The nameplate is located on the bottom
exterior.
On safety
• The glass over the display window on the cover is
made of tempered glass.
Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is
more shock resistant and able to bear more weight
than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may
shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is
scratched.
• The system is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
• When you connect the power cord to a wall outlet,
even if the power is off, the system begins charging
for remote and timer functions. Therefore the
surface of this unit become warm, this is normal.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate air
circulation, and do not place anything on top of the
system.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight.
On heat build up
— Although the system heats up during operation,
this is not a malfunction.
— Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build up in the system.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole for the cooling fan.

On installing
When you move the system, remove the CD.
On operation
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 CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can
be used near TV sets. However, the picture on certain
TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a
case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after
15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks,
TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
To avoid damaging the sub woofer
• Be careful in setting the volume control to avoid an
excessive input power.
• Do not attempt to open the enclosuer or remold
speaker units and networks.
