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.
