Additional Information
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 wall outlet (mains) if it
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component, unplug the stereo system and have the
component checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
The AC power cord must be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
When you connect the cord (mains lead) to wall
outlet (mains), even though 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 stereo system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo
system.
Do not place the unit in an inclined position.
Do not place the unit 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. 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.
When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static 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.
Notes on MDs
Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close
the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.
Do not apply MD disc labels over the shutter or in
other unspecified locations. Always apply the label
in the space allocated on the disc. Because the size
and shape of the label may differ depending on the
manufacturer, be sure to use the labels supplied
with 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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
