operating voltage is 120V AC, 60Hz.

On safety

•

The name plate indicating operating voltage,

power consumption, etc. is located on the rear

exterior of the unit and on the back on the AC

power adapter.

•

Unplug the AC power adapter form the wall

outlet when it is not being used for an

extended period of time. To disconnect the

cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never

pull it out by the cord.

•

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

unit, disconnect the AC power cord, and have

the unit checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On cleaning the cabinet

Before cleaning the cabinet, disconnect the AC

power cord. Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with water or mild detergent

solution. Do not use alcohol, benzene, or thinner

as they may mar the finish.

Precautions

If your monitor’s picture is magnetically

distorted

Although this unit is magnetically shielded, the

picture on some monitor’s may become

magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off

the power of your monitor and computer, and

turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. Take the

appropriate measures (such as saving data)

before turning off your monitor and computer.

When there seems to be no improvement,

place the unit farther away from your computer

and monitor. Be sure not to place objects which

use magnets, such as audio racks, TV stands,

toys, etc. near your computer and monitor. These

may cause the picture to distort due to their

interaction with the unit.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your system that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Installation

•

This subwoofer is best suited for the Sony

VAIO microtower personal computer systems.

When you connect the subwoofer to your

VAIO microtower, we recommend that you

install the unit under the computer as shown

at right.

If you install the unit away from the computer,

we recommend that you install the unit on a

solid floor where resonance is unlikely to

occur.

•

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.

•

Good ventilation is essential to prevent

internal heat buildup. Place the unit in a

location with adequate air circulation. Do not

place the unit on a soft surface or too close to a

wall.

Notes

•

Always install the unit in a flat (horizontal) position

and at least 5 centimeters from the wall.

Do not install the unit upside down or vertically

(upright).

•

If you install the unit separately from the computer,

do not place any object on the unit or sit on it.

•

If the unit is installed in the center of a room, the bass

sound may become weak. This is due to the influence

of the standing wave of the room. If this happens,

move the unit away from the center of the room.
