Precautions

0n 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.

To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation
of the receiver with newspapers, table cloths,
curtains, etc. And dont place lighted candles
on the receiver.

To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not place
vases on the receiver.

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 at the rear of the
receiver.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
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, 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 must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.

0 n p lacem ent

- 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.

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 accordingly. To avoid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

0n operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to
turn off and unplug the receiver.

0n 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 question or problem
concerning your receiver, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
