Sony htp-78dw 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 front speakers, center speaker and the sub 
woofer are magnetically shielded to allow 
them to be installed near a TV set. However, 
color irregularities may still be observed on 
certain types of TV sets. 
As the surround speakers are not magnetically 
shielded, we recommend that you place the 
surround speakers slightly further away from 
the TV set (page 13).

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 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 receiver, please consult your 
nearest Sony dealer.
