Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• 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.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the
plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be
changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation
to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the system in a location 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.
• Place the system on a horizontal surface.
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 lenses inside the system. Should
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on
for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
portion is played.
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.
• Clean the disc tray if it becomes dusty.
On your TV’s color
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color
irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,
place the speakers further away from the set.
On transporting the system
• Follow the instructions below before transporting the
system to prevent any damage to the DVD player if
dropped accidentally:
1 Remove all discs from the disc trays.
If you leave any discs inside the disc trays, you may
not be able to remove them later.
2 Press A of DISC 1 and place the dummy disc on the
disc tray. Do not press A of DISC 1 again to close
the disc tray.
3 Press ?/1.
The disc tray closes automatically, and the system
turns off.
4 After the front panel display turns off, unplug the AC
power cord.
5 Remove both of the front speakers from the main
units.
• Check that the power of all the components is off and
all operations are completed before transporting the
system.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
