WARNING

To prevent fire or shock

hazard, do not expose

the unit to rain or

moisture.

To avoid electrical shock,

do not open the cabinet.

Refer servicing to

qualified personnel only.

Do not install the

appliance in a confined

space, such as a bookcase

or built-in cabinet.

Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the amplifier

and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any

further.

On power sources

• Before operating the amplifier, check

that the operating voltage is identical

with your local power supply. The

operating voltage is indicated on the

nameplate at the rear of the amplifier.

• The amplifier is not disconnected

from the AC power source as long as

it is connected to the wall outlet, even

if the amplifier itself has been turned

off.

• If you are not going to use the

amplifier for a long time, be sure to

disconnect the amplifier from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC

power cord, grasp the plug itself;

never pull the cord.

• One blade of the plug is wider than

the other for the purpose of safety

and will fit into the wall outlet only

one way. If you are unable to insert

the plug fully into the outlet, contact

your dealer.

• AC power cord must be changed only

at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the amplifier in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent heat

buildup and prolong the life of the

amplifier.

• Do not place the amplifier 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

• Before connecting other components,

be sure to turn off and unplug the

amplifier.

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 question or problem

concerning your amplifier, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.
