Sony HT-SF470 User Manual

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate 

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

• Do not place the receiver 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 receiver near equipment 

such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. If the 
receiver 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. Therefore, we recommend using an 
outdoor antenna.

• Use caution when placing the receiver or 

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

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

The center speaker is magnetically shielded to 
allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, 
color 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 15).

Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 
15 to 30 minutes.

Place the speaker further away from the TV 
set.

Reposition the speakers or turn down the 
volume on the receiver.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a 

soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of 
abrasive pad, scouring powder, scrubbing 
brush or sponge.

• If it is stained with oil or fingerprints, breath 

on the surface and wipe it with soft dry cloth.

• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by 

radio waves, sound may skip when radio 
waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic 
of radio waves and is not malfunction.

• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by 

radio waves, equipment that generates 
electromagnetic energy, such as a 
microwave oven, may interfere with sound 
transmission.

• As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio 

waves that share the same frequency as other 
wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or 
Bluetooth devices, interference or poor 
transmission may result. In this case, take 
the following steps:
– Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near 

other wireless systems.

– Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the 

other wireless systems at the same time.

– The transmission may be improved by 

changing the transmission channel 
(frequency) of the other wireless 
system(s). For details, refer to the 
operating instructions of the other wireless 
system(s).
