Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the amplifier
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
On power sources
• Before operating the amplifier, check
that the operating voltage is identical
with your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the amplifier.
• This unit is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it
is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the
amplifier for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the amplifier from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the amplifier in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the
amplifier.
• Do not place the amplifier 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.
On operation
• Before connecting other components,
be sure to turn off and unplug the
amplifier.
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 amplifier, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
