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.
•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 outlet only one way.If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet,contact your dealer.
•AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service
shop.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, the speaker cable should be
connected to the apparatus and the speakers in accordance with the
following instructions.
1) Disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS.
2) Strip 10 to 15 mm (13/32 to 19/32 in) of the wire insulation of the
speaker cable.
3) Connect the speaker cable to the apparatus and the speakers
carefully so as not to touch the core of speaker cable by hand. Also
disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS before disconnecting
the speaker cable from the apparatus and the speakers.
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.
* The top of the cabinet may become too hot to touch.
On placement
•Do not install the appliance in a confined space,such as a bookcase.
•Sufficient space around the receiver is needed to release heat. When
placing the receiver in a rack, leave more than 44.45 mm (1.75 in) space
above the receiver, and more than 44.45 mm (1.75 in) space along the
sides of the receiver. The rack behind the receiver should be open.If you
place the receiver with its back against the wall, leave more than 88.9
mm (3.5 in) space between the receiver and the wall.
•Make sure to use a“WS-RE2” dedicated rack mount kit for this receiver
when mounting the receiver on a rack mount.
•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.
On operation
Before connecting other device,be sure to turn off and unplug the
receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet,panel, and controls with soft dry cloth. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad,scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
On updating
This receiver allows you to update the software automatically when
connected to the Internet via a wired or wireless network.
You can add new features and use the receiver with more convenience
and safety by updating the receiver.
If you do not want to update automatically,set [Auto Update] to [Off].
However, the receiver may update the software automatically for reasons
such as safety, even if this function is disabled. You can also update the
software using the settings menu when this function is disabled. For
details, refer to Help Guide.
You may not use the receiver while the software is being updated.

STR-AZ7000ES/STR-AZ5000ES/STR-AZ3000ES
5-037-019-11(1)
On Internet connection
When connecting the receiver to the Internet,use the router (ADSL
modem or optical line termination device with the router function
supplied with the Internet provider,or Wi-Fi access point). If you connect
to the Internet without using the router, a security problem may occur. If
you are not sure that the wall outlet for the network line has the router
function, ask your manager of the apartment house or Internet provider.
On BLUETOOTH communication
Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of functions for various BLUETOOTH
product features. See “BLUETOOTH section” in “Specifications”
(page38) for the BLUETOOTH version and profiles supported by this
receiver.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within approximately 30meters
(98.4feet) (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective
communication range may become shorter under the following
conditions.
•When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the
devices with a BLUETOOTH connection
•Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
•Around microwave ovens that are in use
•Locations where other electromagnetic waves are generated
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) device use the
same frequency band (2.4GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device
near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference
may occur. This could result in lower data transfer rates,noise, or inability
to connect.If this happens, try the following remedies:
•Use this receiver at least 10meters (33feet) away from the wireless LAN
device.
•Turn off the power to the wireless LAN device when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10meters (33feet).
•Install this receiver and BLUETOOTH device as closer to each other as
possible.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this receiver may interfere with the
operation of some medical devices.Since this interference may result in
malfunction, always turn off the power on this receiver and BLUETOOTH
device in the following locations:
•In hospitals, on trains,in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where
flammable gasses may be present
•Near automatic doors or fire alarms
•This receiver supports security functions that comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification to ensure secure connection during
communication using BLUETOOTH technology. However, this security
may be insufficient depending on the setting contents and other
factors,so always be careful when performing communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
•Sony shall not be held liable in any way for damages or other loss
resulting from information leaks during communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
•BLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the same profile as this receiver.
•BLUETOOTH devices connected with this receiver must comply with
the BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG,Inc., and
must be certified to comply.However, even when a device complies
with the BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases where the
characteristics or specifications of the BLUETOOTH device make it
impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods,
display or operation.
•Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the BLUETOOTH
device connected with this receiver, the communications environment,
or surrounding conditions.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your receiver, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
