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

· The system is not disconnected from the AC

power source (mains) as long as it is connected

to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has

been turned off.

· If you are not going to use the system for a long

time, be sure to disconnect the system from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord

(mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

· AC power cord must only be changed at the

qualified service shop.

On placement

· 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 adjusting volume

· Do not turn up the volume while listening to a

portion with very low level inputs or no audio

signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged

when a peak level portion 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.

On your TV's color

· If the speakers should cause the TV screen to

have color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn

it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity

should persist, place the speakers further away

from the TV.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your system, please consult your nearest Sony
