Precautions
On safety
The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the bottom exterior.
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
China 220 V AC, 50 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. Just switching the POWER switch on the left
speaker does not turn the AC power adaptor off.
On placement
Do not set the speaker 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 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.
On cleaning
Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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
system that are not covered in this manual, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
