Additional Information Precautions The nameplate is located on the rear exterior. CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. 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. On safety • 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. • Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it will not be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On placement • 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 - Subject to vibrations - Subject to direct sunlight • 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 unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. • To prevent heat build-up in the system, place the system in a location with adequate ventilation and refrain from placing anything on the top of the cabinet. 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. To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for the cooling fan. 26GB On operation If the system is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, 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. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. On the speaker system Although this speaker system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases where the picture on some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. If there seems to be no improvement, locate the speaker system further away from the TV set. Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the speaker system, such as audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system. Notes on CDs • Before playing a CD, clean the CD surface with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out. • Do not play a CD with tape, stickers, or adhesives on any of its surfaces as this may damage the system. • Do not use solvents. • Do not expose the CDs 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. Note on CD-R/CD-RW play 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. Notes on speakers Although the rear side of the speakers heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the temperature of the rear side of the speakers rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the rear side of the speakers. Cleaning the cabinet Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.
