Precautions
Safety
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long
as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
Installing
• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as
radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside the receiver
and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install
the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm
location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating
the unit.
Thank you for purchasing this Sony Super
Audio CD/DVD RECEIVER. Before operating
this system, please read this manual thoroughly
and retain it for future reference.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the receiver.
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do
not place the unit in a confined space where
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything
on the receiver. The receiver is equipped with a high
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top
surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and
malfunction.
• Do not place the receiver on a soft surface such as a
rug that might block the ventilation holes on the
bottom.
• Do not place the receiver in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
• If the receiver is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lenses inside the
receiver. Should this occur, the receiver may not
operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and
leave the receiver turned on for about half an hour
until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the receiver, take out any disc. If you
don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• For power saving purposes, the receiver can be
completely turned off by the POWER button on the
main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a while,
the receiver is completely off.
