Additional Information 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. On safety 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 will not be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. 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. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On placement Do not place the system in an inclined position. Do not place the system in locations where it is: Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Subject to vibrations Subject to direct sunlight On heat buildup Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet. To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for the cooling fan. On operation If the system is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the VIDEO CD/CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. When moving the unit, remove any disc that may be on the disc tray. Notes on CDs/VIDEO CDs Before playing a disc, clean the disc surface with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. Do not play a disc with tape, stickers, or adhesives on any of its surfaces as this may damage the system. Do not use solvents. Do not expose the discs 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. Cleaning the cabinet Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol. To save a tape permanently To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tabs from side A or side B as illustrated. Break off the cassette tab If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. Before placing a cassette in the tape deck Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the tape deck s playing mechanism and become damaged. When using a tape longer than 90 minutes The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding etc. too frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck s playing mechanism. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. 24 GB
