To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. • Should any liquid or solid object fall into either speaker, unplug the system and have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. • For safety purposes, one blade of the power plug is wider than the other to allow connection to the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. Before turning on the power Turn the speaker volume down. To avoid damaging the speakers • Keep the volume level to a moderate level since excessively high sound output may damage the speakers. • Do not attempt to open or modify the speaker units or enclosures. Color interference on nearby TVs The speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to minimize electrical interference to nearby TV sets. Depending on your TV model, you may experience color interference during operation of the speaker system. If this happens, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it on again. If color interference persists, move the speakers further away from the TV set. On installation • Do not install the speakers 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 speakers at a location with adequate air circulation, and in a way that does not block the rear ventilation holes. On cleaning the speaker cabinets Clean the speaker cabinets with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water. Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powder or solvents such as alcohol or benzine. For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet entitled "IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS." If you have any question or problem concerning your system that is not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. 3
