Precautions
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your stereo system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On operating voitage
Before operating the stereo system, check
that the operating voltage of your stereo
system is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
U.S.A. and Canada = 120 V AC, 60 Hz
Australia 240 V AC, 50 Hz
On safety
¢ This 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.
¢ 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.
¢ AC power cord must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-
up in the stereo system.
On condensation in the CD player
component
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 CD player will not operate.
Remove the CD and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally
recorded over, break off the cassette tab
from side A or B as illustrated. If you later
want to reuse the tape for recording, cover
the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Side A
Tab of side B Tab of side A
When you are using a type II (CrO2) tape,
be careful not to cover the detector slots
which allow the tape player to
automatically detect the type of tape.
