4 Unplug the AC power cord (mains
lead).
Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a
cleaning cloth from the center outward
to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine, thinner, or commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor
leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
Completely disconnect the AC power
cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet
(mains) if it is not going to be used for an
extended period of time. When
unplugging the unit, always grip the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
Should any solid object or liquid get into
the system, unplug the system, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it again.
AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at the qualified service
shop.
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or
humid or lacking adequate ventilation,
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight or
a bright light.
Be careful when placing the system on
surfaces that have been specially
treated (for example, wax, oil, polish) as
staining or discoloration of the surface
may result.
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 unit,
and cause the system to malfunction. In
this situation, remove the disc, and
leave the system turned on for about an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during
operation is normal and is not a cause
for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been
used continuously at a high volume
because the cabinet may have become
hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
The built-in speaker system is not
magnetically shielded, and the picture on
nearby TV sets may become magnetically
distorted. In this situation, turn off the TV,
wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on.
If there is no improvement, move the
system far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a mild detergent
solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
On BLUETOOTH communication
BLUETOOTH devices should be used
within approximately 10 meters
(unobstructed distance) of each other.
The effective communication range may
become shorter under the following
conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall or
other obstruction is between the
devices with a BLUETOOTH
connection.
Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed.
Around microwave ovens that are in
use.
Locations where other
electromagnetic waves are generated.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: If you leave a still video
image or on-screen display image
displayed on your TV for an extended
period of time via this system, you risk
permanent damage to your TV screen.
Projection TVs are especially
susceptible to this.

Additional Information
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g) equipment use the
same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When
using your BLUETOOTH device near a
device with wireless LAN capability,
electromagnetic interference may
occur. This could result in lower data
transfer rates, noise, or inability to
connect. If this happens, try the
following remedies:
Use this system at least 10 meters
away from the wireless LAN
equipment.
Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
equipment when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters.
Use this system and BLUETOOTH
device as closer to each other as
possible.
The radio waves broadcast by this
system may interfere with the operation
of some medical devices. Since this
interference may result in malfunction,
always turn off the power on this system
and BLUETOOTH device in the following
locations:
In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at
gas stations, and any place where
flammable gases may be present.
Near automatic doors or fire alarms.
This system supports security functions
that comply with the BLUETOOTH
specification to ensure security
connection during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology.
However, this security may be
insufficient depending on the setting
contents and other factors, so always be
careful when performing
communication using BLUETOOTH
technology.
Sony cannot be held liable in any way for
damages or other loss resulting from
information leaks during
communication using BLUETOOTH
technology.
BLUETOOTH communication is not
necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the same
profile as this system.
BLUETOOTH devices connected with this
system must comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by
the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must be
certified to comply. However, even
when a device complies with the
BLUETOOTH specification, there may be
cases where the characteristics or
specifications of the BLUETOOTH device
make it impossible to connect, or may
result in different control methods,
display or operation.
Noise may occur or the audio may cut off
depending on the BLUETOOTH device
connected with this system, the
communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
