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.

• 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.

• For efficient heat dissipation, ensure

there is sufficient space to the rear of the

subwoofer. Also, avoid placing objects

on the unit.

• Do not insert your hand or any objects

into the hole of the subwoofer and

satellite speaker.

On power source

If main plug of the system is disconnected

from the AC outlet while the system is on

standby mode, the "/1 indicator will

continue to lights up for about 2 minutes,

depends on time taken for the internal

high efficiency audio grade switching

mode power supply to be fully

discharged.

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 audio device 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, benzene, or thinner to

clean the cabinet.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your speaker system, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.
