Sony HT-AS5 User Manual

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

• Before operating the system, check that the 

operating voltage is identical with your local 
power supply.

 

The operating voltage is indicated on the 
nameplate on the back of the subwoofer.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC 

power source (mains) as long as it is 
connected to the wall outlet (mains), even if 
the unit 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 (mains). To disconnect 
the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the 
plug itself; never pull the cord.

• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be 

changed only at a qualified service shop.

• Place the system in a location with adequate 

ventilation to prevent heat buildup and 
prolong the life of the system.

• Do not place the system 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.

• Do not place the system near equipment 

such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. If the 
system is being used in combination with a 
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too 
close to that equipment, noise may result, 
and picture quality may suffer. This is 
especially likely when using an indoor 
antenna (aerial). Therefore, we recommend 
using an outdoor antenna (aerial).

• Use caution when placing the system on 

surfaces that have been specially treated 
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or 
discolouration of the surface may result.

Before connecting other components, be sure 
to turn off and unplug the system.

The center speaker is magnetically shielded to 
allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, 
colour irregularities may still be observed on 
certain types of TV sets. As the front speakers, 
surround speakers and subwoofer are not 
magnetically shielded, we recommend that 
you place them slightly further away from TV 
set (page 16).
