No t e s o n 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.

Precautions

On o p e ra t in g vo lt a g e

Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage of your system is identical with

the voltage of your local power supply.

• 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.

On sa fe t y

Cle a n in g t h e ca b in e t

• 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.

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild

detergent solution.

To sa ve a t a p e p e rm a n e n t ly

• 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.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded

over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as

illustrated.

• 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 the

qualified service shop.

Detector slots

Tab of side B

On p la ce m e n t

• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo

system.

Side A

• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

• Do not place the unit in locations where it is;

— Extremely hot or cold

Break off the

— Very humid

— Vibrating

— Subject to direct sunlight

On o p e ra t io n

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording,

cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However,

be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow

the tape player to automatically detect the type of

tape.

• 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.
