Fuse replacement
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
that matches the amperage described on the
fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power
connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse
blows again after replacement, there may be an
internal malfunction. In such a case, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic
spray intended for analog discs.

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
exceeding the one supplied with the unit as
this could damage the unit.
