Precautions
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of
your local power supply.
On safety
• 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.
• Unplug the system from the mains if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time. To disconnect
the mains lead, 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.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed
only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in 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
— Vibrating
— Subject to direct sunlight.
On operation
• If the stereo 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 or the MD deck. Should this occur, the
system will not operate properly. Remove the CD or
MD and leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Notes on MDs
• If you try to force the shutter open, the disc may be
damaged. If the shutter opens, close it immediately
without touching the disc inside.
• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the
specified label indentation. Do not affix the label
around the shutter or in other locations. Note that
the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.

• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove
dirt.
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the centre out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
• When using CDs that have glue or similar tacky
substance on the label side of the disc or that used a
special ink when the label was printed, there is a
chance that the CD or label may become attached to
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not
be possible to remove the CD, and may also cause
this unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the
label side of the CD is not sticky before using.
The following types of CD should not be used:
— Rental or used CDs with attached seals where
the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter
of the seal on the CD is tacky.
— CDs that have labels printed using a special ink
that feels tacky when touched.
Note on High-Speed CD-MD
Synchro-Recording
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout or
noise in the recording results, or even create
unwanted tracks on the MD. If this happens, clean
the CD, and record material to the MD using
normal-speed CD-MD Synchro Recording only.
