Precautions
On safety
The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear exterior.
• Before operating the system, be sure that the operating
voltage of the system is identical with that of your local
power supply.
Where purchased
U.S.A./Canada
European countries
Other countries
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
CD/MD
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even
player, etc.
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. To disconnect the
cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the
cord itself.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system,
unplug the system's power cord and have the system
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• The AC power cord should be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
• For efficient heat dissipation, ensure there is sufficient
space to the rear of the left speaker. Also, avoid placing
objects on the unit.
• Do not insert your hand or any objects into the hole of
speaker.
On operation
• Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous
wattage exceeding the maximum input power of the
system.
• Before connecting, turn off the Speaker system, the PC
and the audio component to avoid damaging the speaker
system.
• The volume level should not be turned up to the point of
distortion.
• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not
leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards or
floppy disks using magnetic coding in front of the
system for an extended period of time.
If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be
cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computers
may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off
the power of the TV set/personal computer once, and after
15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. In the case of a personal
computer, take appropriate measures, such as data storage,
before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system
farther away from the TV set/personal computer.
Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets
are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer,
such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause
magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction
with the system.
On placement
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
