using it at once and contact the Sony service center.
s Do not place the receiver where the power cord and cables are
subject to wear or abuse.

s When mounted to the back of TV, do not use the receiver as a han dle
to pick up the TV set.
s Make sure that the cord and connected cables are placed so that
tripping or stumbling may be avoided.
SERVICING
Damage requiring service
If the surface of the receiver cracks, do not touch the receiver until you
unplug the AC power cord.
Otherwise electric shock may result.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself since opening the cabinet
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure to have the
service technician certify in writing that he/she has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in a fire, an
electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the receiver, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the receiver is in safe operating condition,
and to so certify. Should the receiver not be repairable, ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the receiver.
