Safety  
Accessories  
Operate the unit only on AC 60 Hz 110-120 V.  
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The  
set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and  
serious damage to the set. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven  
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.  
The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall  
outlet only one way.  
If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet,  
unplug the unit immediately and have it checked by  
qualified service personnel before operating it further.  
Ventilation  
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are  
provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings  
must never be blocked or covered.  
Installing  
To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation  
openings.  
Do not install the unit in a hot or humid place, or in a place  
subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.  
Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other  
materials.  
Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a  
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.  
Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or  
built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.  
Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or  
where it is exposed to direct sunlight.  
Owner’s Record  
The model and serial numbers are provided on the front of this  
instruction manual and at the bottom of the unit. Refer to them  
whenever you call upon your Sony dealer regarding this product.  
Important Safety Notice  
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and  
keep this manual for future reference.  
Power-Cord Protection  
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and  
do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or  
abuse.  
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and  
instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating  
instructions or service manual.  
Lightning  
For added protection for this receiver during a lightning storm, or  
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,  
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable. This will  
prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line  
surges.  
WARNING  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions  
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.  
Use  
Service  
Power Sources  
Damage Requiring Service  
This set should be operated only from the type of power source  
indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type  
of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your local  
power company.  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
If liquid has been spilled into the set.  
If the set has been exposed to rain or water.  
If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.  
Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience  
receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or  
electric shock.  
If the set does not operate normally when following the  
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are  
specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment  
of other controls may result in damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to  
normal operation.  
Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is  
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it  
from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an  
internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.  
Object and Liquid Entry  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance this  
indicates a need for service.  
Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet  
slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts  
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any  
kind on the set.  
Servicing  
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet  
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all  
servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Cleaning  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it.  
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
Safety Check  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service  
technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the  
manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating  
condition, and to so certify.  
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior  
of the set.  
Installation  
Water and Moisture  
Do not use power-line operated sets near water for example,  
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet  
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
