• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for long periods may cause malfunctions.

• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the printing in any way.

• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold location. This is not a malfunction.

Precautions

• Operate the unit on the power source specified in “Specifications.”

• To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug, not the cord.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a rug, a blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) which might block the ventilation holes.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.

• Never touch the wire of the external FM aerial during a thunderstorm. Furthermore, immediately disconnect the AC power cord

(mains lead) from the radio.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
