ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Precautions
On Bluetooth communication
Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters. Maximum communication range may vary depending on obstacles (person, metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic environment. Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident. where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train, airplane, or a gas station near automatic doors or a fire alarm This unit supports security capabilities that comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology. We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of information during Bluetooth communication. Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed. A device featuring the Bluetooth function is required to conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the features or specifications of the device. Depending on the device to be connected, it may require some time to start communication.

Steel cabinet Optimal performance Limited performance
The following conditions may affect the sensitivity of Bluetooth communication. There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between this unit and Bluetooth device. A device using the 2.4 GHz frequency, such as a wireless LAN device, cordless telephone, or microwave oven, is in use near this unit. This unit is installed on a shelf made of steel. Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid connection if this unit is used near a wireless LAN device. In such a case, perform the following. Use this unit at least 10 m away from the wireless LAN device. If this unit is used within 10 m of a wireless LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device. Install this unit and Bluetooth device as near to each other as possible.
Notes when using with a mobile phone
You cannot use this unit to talk over the telephone, even if the Bluetooth connection between this unit and a mobile phone is made. For details on operation of your mobile phone when receiving a telephone call while transmitting the sound using the Bluetooth connection, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the mobile phone.

On safety

The nameplate indicating Sony trademark, model number and electrical rating is located on the bottom exterior of this unit. 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 All countries/regions V AC, 50/60 Hz

On cleaning

Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the cabinet.
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.

Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is connected to the AC outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned 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.

What is Bluetooth technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. Bluetooth wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 meters. Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.* You do not need to use a cable for connection since Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. Bluetooth technology is an international standard supported by thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
