Precautions
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your stereo system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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 AC power
outlet if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time. To disconnect
the AC power cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the component, unplug the stereo system
and have the component checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
• The AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
On installation
• Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the stereo system.
• Do not place the unit in an inclined
position.
• Do not place the unit in locations where it
is;
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Vibrating
– Subject to direct sunlight
On condensation in the CD player
component
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
lens inside the CD player. Should this
occur, the CD player will not operate.
Remove the CD and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over, break off the cassette tab
from side A or B as illustrated. If you later
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.

In case color irregularity is observed on
nearby TV screen
With the magnetically shielded type of
speaker system, the speakers can be
installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularity may still be observed on the TV
screen depending on the type of your TV
set.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on
after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the speakers farther away from the
TV set.
