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 mains
outlet, 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 buildup.
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 Compact
AV 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.
Thank you for purchasing Sony Compact AV
System. Before operating this system, please
read this manual thoroughly and retain it for
future reference.
On power sources
AC power cord 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 ventilation slots by putting anything
on the system. The system is equipped with a high
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top
surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and
malfunction.
Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug
that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
Do not place the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
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 discs. If you
dont, the disc may be damaged.
For power saving purposes, the system can be
completely turned off by the "/1 button on the
system. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the
system is completely off.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
section is suddenly played.
