Additional information
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 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.
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.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
On safety
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
• 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.
• 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.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use solvents.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
• 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.
• The nameplate is located on the bottom exteror.
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback
On placement
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt., recording
condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording cannot be played back.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up 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
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
– Subject to direct sunlight.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as
illustrated.
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
On heat buildup
• Although the system heats up during operation, this
is not malfunction.
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
Break off the
cassette tab of
side A
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole.
