even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
· Unplug the unit from the wall
outlet if you do not intend to use it
for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by
the plug, never by the cord.
Installing
· Do not install the appliance in a
confined space, such as a bookcase
or built-in cabinet.
· Allow adequate air circulation to
prevent internal heat buildup.
· Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near
materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation slots.
· Do not install the unit near heat
sources such as radiators, or air
ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration, or shock.

position only.
·Keep the unit and discs away from
equipment with strong magnets,
such as microwave ovens, or large

On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a
section with very low level inputs or no audio
signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On your TV's color
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then
turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color
irregularity should persist, place the speakers
further away from the set.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a
still video image or on-screen display image on
your television screen indefinitely. If you leave
the still video image or on-screen display image
displayed on your TV for an extended period of
time you risk permanent damage to your
television screen. Projection televisions are
especially susceptible to this.
On carrying the system
When you carry the system, use the following
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
Remove the disc, and then press and hold the x
button on the system. After "MECHA LOCK" is
displayed on the front panel display, turn off the
system.
Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
· Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the
system.
· At high volume, over long periods of time, the
cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a
malfunction. However, touching the cabinet
should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a
confined space where ventilation is poor as this
may cause overheating.
· Do not block the ventilation slots by putting
anything on the system. The system is equipped
with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation
slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
· Do not place the system on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
· Do not place the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
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 lenses
inside the system. Should this occur, the system
may not operate properly. In this case, remove
the disc and leave the system turned on for
about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
·When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you don't, the disc may be damaged.
·For power saving purposes, the system can be
completely turned off by the POWER button on
the main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a
while, the system is completely off.
