Gro u n d in g o r Po la riza t io n  
This appliance is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than  
the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow  
the instructions below:  
-Fo r t h e a p p lia n ce w it h a p o la rize d AC p o w e r co rd p lu g :  
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact  
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized  
plug by forcing it in.

This symbol is intended to alert the user  
to the presence of important operating  
and maintenance (servicing) instructions  
in the literature accompanying the  
appliance.  
Ove rlo a d in g  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since  
this can result in fire or electric shock.

Po w e r-Co rd Pro t e ct io n  
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits  
from the appliance.  
WARNING  
Lig h t n in g  
You are cautioned that any changes or  
modifications not expressly approved in this  
manual could void your authority to operate  
this equipment.  
For added protection for this appliance 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 antenna or cable  
system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and powerline surges.  
Ob je ct a n d Liq u id En t ry  
Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings 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 appliance.  
Cle a n in g  
Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners  
or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the appliance.  
Clean the appliance only as recommended by Sony.  
At t a ch m e n t s  
Do not use attachments not recommended by Sony, as they may cause hazards.  
ANTENNAS  
Ou t d o o r An t e n n a Gro u n d in g  
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.  
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN  
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM  
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.  
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and  
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect  
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an  
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection  
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
