Sony HT-CT550W Operating Instructions - Page 4

Precautions On safety • 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. • Do not climb on the receiver or the subwoofer, as you may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage may result. On power sources • Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver. • If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. • One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet (mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. • AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On heat buildup Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system. On placement • Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the system. • Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. • Do not place anything at the rear of the receiver that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions. • Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna.) • Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result. • Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners of the receiver or the subwoofer. On operation Before connecting other equipment, be sure to turn off and unplug the system. If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen The system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. If color irregularity is observed... Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity is observed again... Place the system further away from the TV set. On cleaning Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine. If you have any question or problem concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
