Sony HT-CT150 Operating Instructions Manual page 2

The 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the ventilation
opening of the apparatus with newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc.
Do not place the naked flame sources such as lighted
candles on the apparatus.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do
not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the apparatus.
As the main plug is used to disconnect the unit from the
mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible AC
outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit,
disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet
immediately.
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as
a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not expose batteries or apparatus with battery-
installed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the
like.
On safety
• Shoukt any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall clown
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
• BeI_re operating the system, 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 subwoofer.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system
at a large volume, the system temperature of the back
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfimctions.
• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is especially
likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
• Take care to avoid any possible
injury on the comers of the
Sl.lbwoofer.
