Additional Information
On heat build up
• Although the system heats up during operation, this
is not a malfunction.
Precautions
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build up in the system.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not
touch the cabinet.
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.
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation
hole for the cooling fan.
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 if it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
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 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.
To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
system, unplug the system and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On placement
On the speaker system
• Make sure the system fan is on during use.
Place the system in a location with adequate air
circulation, and do not place anything on top of the
system.
• Do not place the system in an inclined position.
• Do not place the system in locations where it is:
— Extremely hot or cold
— Dusty or dirty
— Very humid
— Subject to vibrations
— Subject to direct sunlight
This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and
the picture on TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are
attached or used near the speaker system, such as
audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their
interaction with the system.
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.

Notes on CDs
To save a tape permanently
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the CD from the center out.
• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as
this may damage the player.
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as
illustrated.
• Do not use solvents.
Side A
• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat
sources.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to
do so may damage the system. Do not use such
discs.
Tab of side A
Tab of side B
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback
Break off the
cassette tab of
side A
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be
played back because of scratches, dirt, recording
condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the
discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of
recording, cannot be played back.
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild
detergent solution.
Before placing a cassette in the tape
deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape
may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and
become damaged.
Cleaning the tape heads
Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.
Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an
important recording or after playing an old tape.
Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning
cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the
cleaning cassette.
When using a tape longer than 90
minutes
The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape
operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding
frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape
deck.
Demagnetizing the tape heads
Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that
have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours
of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.
For details, refer to the instructions of the
demagnetizing cassette.
