There is no disc on the CD compartment.

On operation

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates. When you move the system, take out any discs. If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On safety

The system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off. Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the stereo system and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop. The nameplate is located on the bottom exteror.

Notes on CDs

Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out. Do not use solvents. Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources. Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to do so may damage the system. Do not use such discs.

Additional Information

On placement
Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up the system. Do not place the system in an inclined position. Do not place the system in locations where it is; Extremely hot or cold Dusty or dirty Very humid Vibrating Subject to direct sunlight. Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback
Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the drives characteristics. Besides, the discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of recording cannot be played back.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
To save a tape permanently
To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated.

On heat buildup

Although the system heats up during operation, this is not malfunction. Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet. To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole.

Break off the cassette tab of side A
If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Precautions (continued)

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck
Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.
