Precautions
On safety
• Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage
of the system is identical with that of your local power supply.
Where purchased Operating voltage
U.S.A./Canada 120 V AC, 60 Hz
Other countries 100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Use only the supplied AC power adaptor .
• After operating the system with the AC power adaptor,
disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if the
system is not to be used for an extended period of time. The
POWER switch does not turn the AC power adaptor off.
On placement
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, moisture, rain or
mechanical shock.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.
On operation
• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, have the
system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not leave
recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards, or floppy disks
with magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended
period of time.
If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases
that the picture on some TV sets/personal computer sets may
become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power
of the TV set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30
minutes turn it on again. For the personal computer set, take the
appropriate measures such as data storage before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system
further away from the TV set/personal computer set. Furthermore,
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used
near the TV set/personal computer set, such as audio racks, TV
stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the
picture due to their interaction with the system.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your speaker
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
