Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object
or
liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On
power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage
is
identical with your local
power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back
of
the receiver.
• 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.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the wall outlet.
To
disconnect the
AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade
of
the plug is wider than the other
for the purpose
of
safety and will fit into the
wall outletonly one way.
If
you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
On
heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction.
If
you
continuously use this receiver at a large
volume, the cabinet temperature
of
the top,
side and bottom rises considerably.
To
avoid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life
of
the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or
in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust,
or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top
of
the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. If
the receiver is being used
in
combination
with a television, 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 (aerial). Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna
(aerial).
• Use caution when placing the receiver on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration
of
the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn
off
and unplug the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type
of
abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,
such
as
alcohol
or
benzine.
If
you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
