•If the picture on the PC monitor is distorted by the vibration from the speaker system, turn down the volume first. If there seems to be no improvement, try placing the speaker system on top of a desk etc.

•Depending on the mounting surfaces, there may be cases in which the mounting brackets becomes difficult to remove once attached. Also the double-sided tapes used on the mounting brackets may leave some marks on the surface of the PC monitor when they are removed.

Precautions

• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor for operating the system. Do not use any other AC power adaptors.

• After operating the system with the AC power adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if the system is not to be used for an extended period of time. The POWER switch on the left speaker does not turn the AC power adaptor off.

• Do not open the speaker cabinets. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into either speaker, disconnect the AC power adaptor and have the speaker checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• When the speaker cabinet becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never use alcohol, benzine or thinner as they may mar the finish.

• Although this system is magnetically shielded, as a precaution, do not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards or floppy disks using magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended period of time.

If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. For the personal computer set, take the appropriate measures such as data storage before turning it off. When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system further away from the TV set/personal computer set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your system that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
