Sony MHC-GNZ777D User Manual

• Discs of non-standard shape (for example, 

heart, square, star).

• Discs that have adhesive tape, paper, or 

sticker attached to them.

• Rental or used discs with attached seals where 

the glue extends beyond the seal.

• Discs that have labels printed using ink that 

feels tacky when touched.

• Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning 

cloth from the center out to the edge.

• Do not clean discs with solvents, such as 

benzine thinner, or commercially available 
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl 
LPs.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat 

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a 
car parked in direct sunlight.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC 

power source (mains) as long as it is 
connected to the wall socket, even if the unit 
itself has been turned off.

• Completely disconnect the power cord (mains 

lead) from the wall socket (mains) if it is not 
going to be used for an extended period of 
time. When unplugging the unit, always grip 
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid get into the 

system, unplug the system, and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it again.

• The AC power cord can be changed only by a 

qualified service facility.

• Do not place the system in an inclined 

position or in locations that are extremely hot, 
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking 
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration, 
direct sunlight or a bright light.

• Be careful when placing the unit or speakers 

on surfaces that have been specially treated 
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as staining 
or discoloration of the surface may result.

• 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 lens 
inside the unit, and cause the system to 
malfunction. In this situation, remove the 
disc, and leave the system turned on for about 
an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• Heat buildup on the unit during operation is 

normal and is not a cause for alarm.

• Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used 

continuously at a high volume because the 
cabinet may have become hot.

• Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.

Although the front and center speakers are 
magnetically shielded, the picture on a nearby 
TV may become magnetically distorted. In this 
situation, turn off the TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, 
and turn it back on. If there is no improvement, 
move the speakers far away from the TV.

Clean this system 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 thinner, benzine, or 
alcohol.

Break off the cassette’s overwrite protection tab 
from side A or B as illustrated.

To later reuse the tape for recording, cover the 
broken tab with adhesive tape.

 If you leave a still video image 

or on-screen display image displayed on 
your TV for an extended period of time via 
this system, you risk permanent damage to 
your TV screen. Projection TVs are 
especially susceptible to this.
