Additional information  
On operation  
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 CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not  
operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the  
system turned on for about an hour until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Precautions  
On operating voltage  
Before operating the system, check that the operating  
voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of  
your local power supply.  
When you move the system, take out any discs.  
On safety  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony  
dealer.  
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.  
Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it  
is not to be used for an extended period of time. To  
disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Notes on CDs  
Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out.  
Do not use solvents.  
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources.  
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to  
do so may damage the system. Do not use such  
discs.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
component, unplug the stereo system and have the  
component checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
The AC power cord must be changed only at a  
qualified service shop.  
On placement  
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback  
Place the unit in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build-up the unit.
