6 Precautions On safety ¥ Caution Ð The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. ¥ 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. On power sources ¥ 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. ¥ If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. ¥ Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only. On placement ¥ Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system. ¥ Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom. ¥ Do not place the system in a location 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. 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 system. 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. On adjusting volume ¥ Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion is 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. On your TVÕs color ¥ If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the set.IMPORTANT NOTICE Caution: The enclosed 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 very susceptible. Notes on 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. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using 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 there can be considerable rise in temperature 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. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

9 Getting StartedNotes on speaker system hookup ¥ Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and Ð to Ð. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass. ¥ If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers. If you feel lack of bass frequency Connect an active subwoofer (not supplied) to the WOOFER OUT jack using a monaural audio cord (not supplied). When you connect an active subwoofer, disconnect the supplied woofer from the SPEAKER WOOFER terminal. Black Black To avoid short-circuiting the speakers Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the stripped end of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord. Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal. Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation. After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 14. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
