Sony DAV-LF10 Operating Instructions - Page 3

Precautions Safety • If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned off. • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord. Installing • Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. • Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots. • Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock. • Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. • Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers. • Do not place heavy objects on the unit. • If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the DVD Home Theatre System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.

Before operating this system, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference. Precautions On power sources AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On placement • Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. • At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating. • Do not block the cooling fan or ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the cooling fan or ventilation slots are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction. • 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 around the rear of the subwoofer as air pressure from the subwoofer's duct may knock it down. • Do not insert anything into the rear openings of the control unit or subwoofer. This may cause electric shock or injury. • Do not insert anything into the subwoofer's duct, as sound quality may be affected. • Do not use the speaker as a footstool. The speaker may fall down or break, causing injury. 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. • When you move the system, take out any disc. If you don't, the disc may be damaged. continued 3GB
