Operating Instructions

ICF-CD513

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the

appliance, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance and described in

the operating instructions supplied with the appliance by Sony.

INSTALLATION

Water and Moisture

Do not install the appliance near water: for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

Heat

Do not install the appliance near sources of heat such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other appliances that produce heat.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for necessary ventilation.

To ensure reliable and safe operation of the appliance, and to protect it from overheating, these

slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Do not place the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface which may block the slots

and openings.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless

proper ventilation is provided.

Carts and Stands

Do not install the appliance on an unstable table, shelf, cart or stand. Use only a cart or stand

recommended by Sony.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting

If your appliance can be mounted to a wall or ceiling, mount it only as recommended by Sony.

USE

Power Source

Connect the appliance to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions

or as marked on the appliance.

Grounding or Polarization

Do not defeat the grounding or polarization feature of the AC power cord. If your AC receptacle

will not accept the power cord plug, contact your electrician to install a proper AC receptacle.

AC Receptacle

Check to make sure that the AC receptacle holds the power cord plug firmly and securely. If the

power cord plug is loose, contact your electrician to replace the defective and unsafe AC

receptacle.

Power-Cord Protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by having objects placed

on it, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from

the appliance.

When not in use

Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of

time.

To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by the cord.

Foreign Objects

Be careful that foreign objects and liquids do not enter the enclosure through openings.

Cleaning

Clean the appliance only as recommended by Sony.

ANTENNAS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE

TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT

WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges

and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with

respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to

an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Antenna Grounding According to the National

Electrical Code

SERVICE

Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and consult qualified service personnel when:

-the power cord or the plug has been damaged.

-a solid object or liquid has fallen into the cabinet.

-the appliance has been exposed to rain or moisture.

-the appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

-the appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

Do not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. For

all other servicing refer to qualified service personnel only.

Installing the Unit

Under a Cabinet

(See Fig. A)

The unit can be installed without the spacer.

1 Mark the position of the 4 holes by using

the supplied template. Use a drill to

make the holes (size 6.5 mm dia., 9/32

inch). (See Fig. A-a)

2 When the cabinet door overhangs the

shelf and obstructs the unit, you can

adjust the unit/shelf height.

First set the L mark to the dot which

becomes the lowest position, then you

can adjust the height in 4 steps (H··L)

by turning the spacer counterclockwise.

(See Fig. A-b)

mounting screws. (See Fig. A-c)

Caution

· Since the unit is very heavy, be careful when

installing the unit.

when using the unit, since the cord acts as an

FM wire antenna. If the AC power cord has

some slack, wind it up to the cord hook until

the cord has no slack.

· The unit has a built-in ferrite bar antenna for

AM radio reception. Check the condition of

AM reception before fixing in position.

· Install the unit as far as possible from a source

of noise. (for example, refrigerator, microwave

oven, fluorescent lamp, etc.)
