Precautions
On safety
 To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects 
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or 
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or 
shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall 
into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before operating it 
any further.
 Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with 
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
On power sources
 Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do 
not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To 
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by 
the cord.
On placement
 Place the system in a location with adequate 
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
 At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet 
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. 
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do 
not place the system in a confined space where 
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
 Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything 
on the system. The system is equipped with a high 
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked, 
the system can overheat and malfunction.
 Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, 
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may 
block the ventilation slots.
 Do not install the system in a confined space, such as 
a bookshelf or similar unit.
 Do not install the system near heat sources such as 
radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct 
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or 
shock.
 Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is 
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
 Keep the system and discs away from components 
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or 
large loudspeakers.
 Do not place heavy objects on the system.
On operation
 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 lenses inside the unit. Should 
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In 
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned 
on for about half an hour until the moisture 
evaporates.
 When you move the system, take out any disc. If you 
do not, the disc may be damaged.
 If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and 
have it checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it any further.
On adjusting volume
 Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section 
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you 
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level 
section is suddenly played.
On 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 questions or problems concerning 
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens 
cleaners
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners 
(including wet or spray types). These may cause 
the apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
 In the events that this system is repaired, repaired 
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling 
purposes.
On your TV’s color
 If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have 
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after 
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, 
place the speakers further away from the TV set.
Additional Information
IMPORTANT NOTICECaution: This system is capable of holding a still 
video image or on-screen display image on your 
television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still 
video image or on-screen display image displayed 
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk 
permanent damage to your television screen. 
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to 
this.
 
						

							66GB
On moving the system
 Before moving the system, make sure that there is no 
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains 
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).
About S-AIR function
 As the S-AIR products transmit sound by radio 
waves, sound may skip when radio waves are 
obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and 
is not malfunction.
 As the S-AIR products transmit sound by radio 
waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic 
energy, such as a microwave oven, may prevent 
wireless transmission.
 As the S-AIR products use the radio waves that share 
the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as 
wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or 
poor transmission may occur. In this case, take the 
following steps to enhance the transmission of 
signals:
– Avoid placing the S-AIR products near other 
wireless systems.
– Avoid using the S-AIR products and the other 
wireless systems simultaneously.
– The transmission may be improved by changing 
the transmission channel (frequency) of the other 
wireless system(s). For details, refer to the 
operating instructions of the other wireless 
system(s).
 The transmission distance differs depending on the 
usage environment. Find locations where 
transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub 
unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit 
and sub unit there.
 Place the S-AIR products on a stable surface.
 Poor transmission may occur and the transmission 
distance may be too short if the following conditions 
exist:
– There is a wall/floor made of reinforced concrete 
or stone between the S-AIR products.
– There is an iron divider/door or furniture/electric 
product made of fireproof glass, metal, etc., 
between the S-AIR products.
Notes about the Discs
On handling discs
 To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its 
edge. Do not touch the surface.
 Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
 Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or 
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in 
a car parked in direct sunlight as the 
temperature may rise considerably inside the 
car.
 After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
 Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning 
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
 Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, 
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static 
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
This system can only play a standard circular 
disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs 
(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a 
malfunction.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially 
available accessory attached, such as a label or 
ring.
