Additional Information  
Precautions  
On power sources  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) 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.  
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.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On placement  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet  
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.  
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do  
not place the system in a confined space where  
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.  
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the system can overheat and malfunction.  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens  
cleaners  
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause  
the apparatus to malfunction.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause your 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 your TV set.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE  
Caution: This system 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.  
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is  
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.  
• Keep the system and discs away from components  
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or  
large loudspeakers.  
On moving the system  
• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.  
On operation  
• If the system 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 unit. Should  
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In  
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned  
on for about half an hour until the moisture  
evaporates.

Notes about the Discs  
On handling discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in  
a car parked in direct sunlight as the  
temperature may rise considerably inside the  
car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
This system can only play a standard circular  
disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs  
(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a  
malfunction.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.
