Operating and storage locations
Avoid operating or storing the product in the following
locations.
• Extremely hot or cold places
• In direct sunlight for long periods, or close to heating
equipment
• Damp or dusty places
• Where it is exposed to rain
• Locations subject to strong vibration
Care
• Clean the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. If it is very dirty,
use a cloth dampened with a small quantity of neutral
detergent, then wipe dry.
• Avoid the use of volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene,
and thinners. They may damage the surface finish, or
impair the operation of the shutter adaptor.
Ventilation
Do not wrap the unit in a cloth, etc., during operation. This
may cause the internal temperature to rise excessively and
the unit to malfunction.
Miscellaneous
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit or
allow combustible or metallic objects inside the body. If
used with foreign objects inside, the unit is liable to fail or
cause a fire or an electric shock.
• If the product is transported or shipped, repack it as
originally packed at the factory, or in materials equal in
quality.
• Avoid driving the speaker system continuously with an
input exceeding the maximum input power of this speaker
system.
• Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to avoid
damaging the speaker system.
• If the +/– connection is incorrect, the bass tones seem to be
missing and the position of the instruments becomes
obscure.
In the event of any problems with the operation of the unit,
contact your Sony service representative.
