Additional information  
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.  
Precautions  
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.  
• When you move the system, take out any discs.  
On safety  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony  
dealer.  
• The system is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Notes on CDs  
• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents.  
• 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.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
component, unplug the stereo system and have the  
component checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• The AC power cord must be changed only at a  
qualified service shop.  
• The nameplate is located on the bottom exteror.  
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback  
On placement  
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.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up 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  
– Vibrating  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild  
detergent solution.  
– Subject to direct sunlight.  
To save a tape permanently  
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded  
over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as  
illustrated.  
• 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.  
On heat buildup  
• Although the system heats up during operation, this  
is not malfunction.  
• Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.  
Break off the  
cassette tab of  
side A  
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.  
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover  
the broken tab with adhesive tape.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole.
