Precautions

On safety
Set the proper band and frequency (page 11). Connect the antenna properly (page 8). Find a place and an orientation that provide good reception, then set up the antenna again. If you cannot obtain good reception, we recommend that you connect a commercially available external antenna. The supplied FM lead antenna receives signals along its entire length, so make sure you extend it fully. Locate the antennas as far away from the speaker cords as possible. Try turning off the surrounding electrical equipment.

A stereo FM program cannot be received in stereo.
The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc., is located on the rear exterior. Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply.

Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system, unplug the systems power cord and have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. The AC power cord should be changed only at a qualified service shop. For efficient heat dissipation, ensure there is sufficient space to the rear of the subwoofer. Also, avoid placing objects on the unit. Do not insert your hand or any objects into the hole of the subwoofer and satellite speaker.
Press MENU, DISPLAY and 1 at the same time. RESET appears in the display. 5 Press 1 to turn on the system. The system is reset to the factory settings. You need to readjust all the settings you made, such as the preset stations and timer.
Unplug the power cord. Plug the power cord back in. Press 1 to turn on the system.

On operation

On cleaning
Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum input power of the system. Before connecting, turn off the speaker system, the PC and audio device to avoid damaging the speaker system. The volume level should not be turned up to the point of distortion. Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards or floppy disks using magnetic coding in front of the system for an extended period of time.

If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically distorted
Do not use alcohol, benzene, or thinner to clean the cabinet. If you have any questions or problems concerning your speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal computers may become magnetically distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. In the case of a personal computer, take appropriate measures, such as data storage, before turning it off. When there seems to be no improvement, locate the system farther away from the TV set/personal computer. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal computer, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their interaction with the system.

On placement

Do not set the speakers 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.
