On safety
· If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit
and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
· The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the mains outlet,
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.
· Caution The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
· Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
· AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified
service shop.
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.
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.
Precautions
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This recorder 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 placement
· 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.) 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.
· Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position
only.
· Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
· Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
· Place the recorder in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the recorder.
· Do not block the ventilation slots by putting
anything on the recorder. If the ventilation slots on
the bottom surface are blocked, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
· Do not place the recorder on a soft surface such as
a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the
bottom.
· Do not place the recorder in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
· If the recorder 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
recorder. Should this occur, the recorder may not
operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and
leave the recorder turned on for about half an hour
until the moisture evaporates.
· When you move the player, take out any discs. If
you don't, the discs may be damaged.
· If you have any questions or problems concerning
your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
