Troubleshooting

Should you encounter a problem with

your system, find your problem in the

troubleshooting checklist below and take

the corrective action.

This product is designed to play back

discs that conform to the Compact Disc

On placement

• Do not place the system in an inclined

position or in locations that are extremely hot,

cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking

adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,

direct sunlight or a bright light.

• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers

on surfaces that have been specially treated

(for example, wax, oil, polish) as staining or

discoloration of the surface may result.

• 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 lens

inside the unit, and cause the system to

malfunction. In this situation, remove the

disc, and leave the system turned on for about

an hour until the moisture evaporates.

Precautions

When carrying the unit

Perform the following procedure to

protect the disc mechanism.

Use the buttons on the unit to perform this

operation.

1 Press "/1 to turn on the system.

2 Press CD.

3 Remove the disc.

Press Z OPEN/CLOSE to open and

close the disc tray.

Wait until “NO DISC” appears in the

display panel.

On heat buildup

• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is

normal and is not a cause for alarm.

• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used

continuously at a high volume because the

cabinet may have become hot.

4 Hold down CD and FLANGER for

3 seconds.

“MECHA LOCK” appears in the

display panel.

• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

5 Unplug the power cord.

On the speaker system

Notes on discs

This speaker system is not magnetically

shielded, and the picture on nearby TV sets may

become magnetically distorted. In this situation,

turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn

it back on. If there is no improvement, move the

speakers far away from the TV.

• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning

cloth from the center outward to the edge.

• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as

benzine, thinner, or commercially available

cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl

LPs.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a

car parked in direct sunlight.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean this system 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 thinner, benzine,

or alcohol.

On safety

• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains

lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not

going to be used for an extended period of

time. When unplugging the unit, always grip

the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid get into the

system, unplug the system, and have it

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it again.

• (For customers in United States only)

One blade of the plug is wider than other for

the purpose of safety and will fit to the wall

outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert

the plug fully into the outlet, contact your

dealer.

On Bluetooth Communication

• Bluetooth devices should be used within

approximately 10 meters (33 feet)

(unobstructed distance) of each other. The

effective communication range may become

shorter under the following conditions.

– When a person, metal object, wall or other

obstruction is between the devices with a

Bluetooth connection

– Locations where a wireless LAN is installed

– Around microwave ovens that are in use

– Locations where other electromagnetic

waves occur

• AC power cord must be changed only at the

qualified service shop.

• Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN

(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency

band (2.4 GHz). When using your Bluetooth

device near a device with wireless LAN

capability, electromagnetic interference may

occur. This could result in lower data transfer

rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this

happens, try the following remedies:

– Try connecting this system and Bluetooth

device when you are at least 10 meters

(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN

equipment.

– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN

equipment when using your Bluetooth

device within 10 meters (33 feet).

• The radio waves broadcast by this system may

interfere with the operation of some medical

devices. Since this interference may result in

malfunction, always turn off the power on this

system and Bluetooth device in the following

locations:

– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas

stations, and any place where flammable

gases may be present

– Near automatic doors or fire alarms

• This system supports security functions that

comply with the Bluetooth specification as a

means of ensuring security during

communication using Bluetooth technology.

However, this security may be insufficient

depending on the setting contents and other

factors, so always be careful when performing

communication using Bluetooth technology.

• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for

damages or other loss resulting from

information leaks during communication

using Bluetooth technology.
