Do not expose batteries or apparatus with battery-

installed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the

like.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as

a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover the ventilation

opening of the apparatus with newspapers, tablecloths,

curtains, etc.

Do not place the naked flame sources such as lighted

candles on the apparatus.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do

not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on

the apparatus.

As the main plug is used to disconnect the unit from the

mains, connect the unit to an easily accessible AC

outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the unit,

disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet

immediately.

In door use only.

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,

unplug the system and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down

and injure yourself, or system damage may result.

On power sources

• Before operating the system, check that the operating

voltage is identical to your local power supply. The

operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the

rear of the subwoofer.

• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,

be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet

(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains

lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at

the qualified service shop.

• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long

as it is connected to the AC outlet, even if the unit

itself has been turned off.

On heat buildup

Although the system heats up during operation, this is

not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system

at a large volume, the system temperature of the back

and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning

yourself, do not touch the system.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the

life of the system.

• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a

place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or

mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer

that might block the ventilation holes and cause

malfunctions.

• Do not cover the grill of the subwoofer.

• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,

VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in

combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is

placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,

and picture quality may suffer. This is especially

likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we

recommend using an outdoor antenna.)

• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that

have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)

as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

WARNING

Precautions

GB

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off

and unplug the system.

If you encounter color irregularity on

a nearby TV screen

The system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be

installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities

may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30

minutes.

If color irregularity is observed

again...

Place the system further away from the TV set.

On cleaning

Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any

type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such

as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any question or problem concerning your

system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
