Precautions
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 connec te d to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itse lf has been turned off.
• Unpl ug the system from the wall outlet (mains ) if it
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the power cord (mains le ad), pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the c or d itse lf .
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qua lified
personnel before operating it any furthe r .
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be chan ged 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 treat ed (wi th wa x,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discolo ration of the
surface may result.
On heat buildup
• Although the system heats up during operation, this
is not a malfunction.
• P lace the system in a l o ca tion with adeq uate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• If you continuously use this system at a high volume,
the cabinet temperature of th e to p, si de and bot tom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
• To pre vent a malfunction, do not cover the
ventilation hole.
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 lens inside the CD
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate
properly. Remove the disc and lea ve the syste m
turned on for about an hour until the mois tur e
evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any disc.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
system, please consult your ne are st S ony de a le r .
Notes on discs
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially avai lab le cleaners or anti-static s pray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring.
This may cause a malfunction to th e system.
• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky
substance on the label side of the disc or tha t use d a
special ink when the label w as printed, there is a
chance that the disc or la bel ma y become att ached to
parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be
possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this
unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label
side of the disc is not sticky before using.
The following types of disc should not be used:
– Rental or u sed di scs with atta ched seals where t he
glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the
seal on the disc is tacky.
– Discs that have labels printed us ing a special ink
that feels tacky when touched.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do
so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by
the user. However, note that playback of some discs
may not be possible depending on the recording
device used for recording or the disc cond ition.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been finalized
(processing to allow play by a normal CD pla ye r )
cannot be played.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-session
mode are not supported.
