2 (GB)
Attaching the ferrite cores
Set the ferrite cores on the both ends of the AC
power cord. Close the lid tightly until the clamps
click.
•Operate the unit on 100 to 120 V AC or 220 to 240
V AC.
•The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc. is located on the rear.
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
•To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
•When the unit is installed on the floor, be sure to use
the retractable feet.
On installation
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
•When you install multiple equipment with the unit,
the following, such as Remote Commander’s
malfunction, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur
depending on the position of the unit and other
equipment.
On repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container in which to transport the
unit. When shipping the unit to another location,
repack it as illustrated on the carton.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
On PDP (Plasma Display Panel)
•There may be some tiny black points and/or bright
points on the PDP. These points are normal.
•Do not display a same still image on the screen for
long, consecutive time. Otherwise, the afterimage
may appear on a part of a panel. Use the screen saver
eventually to equalize the screen display.
On cleaning
To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically
clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive
cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As a
safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it.
