Precautions
On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the
operating voltage of your system is identical with
the voltage of your local power supply.
On safety
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned
off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if
it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
To disconnect the cord (mains lead}, pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
component, unplug the stereo system and have
the component checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
• When you connect the mains lead to mains, even
though the power is off, the system begins
charging for remote aM timer functions.
Therefore the surface of this unit become warm,
this is normal.
On placement
• Make sure the system fan is on during use.
Place the system in a location with adequate air
circulation, and do not place any on the system.
• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo
system.
• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

-- Extremely hot or cold
-- Dusty or dirty

On installing
When you move the system, remove the MD.
On operation
• If the stereo system is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens inside
the CD player. Should this occur, the system will
not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave
the system turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your stereo system, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Notes on CDs
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Notes on MDs
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close
the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.
• Do not apply MD disc labels over the shutter or in
other unspecified locations. Always apply the
label in the space allocated on the disc. Because
the size and shape of the label may differ
depending on the manufacturer, be sure to use the
