On placement
• Do not place heavy objects on the tuner 
which might cause malfunctions.
• Place the tuner in a location with adequate 
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and 
prolong the life of the tuner.
• Do not place the tuner near heat sources, or 
in a place subject to direct sunlight, 
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place the tuner near equipment such 
as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If the 
tuner is being used in combination with a 
television, 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. Therefore, we recommend using an 
outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the tuner on 
surfaces that have been specially treated 
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or 
discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure 
to turn off and unplug the tuner.
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 questions or problems 
concerning your tuner, please consult your 
nearest Sony dealer.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following 
difficulties while using the tuner, use this 
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the 
problem. Should any problem persist, consult 
your nearest Sony dealer.
