This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
appliance.

When you use the AC power adaptor, the AC power
adaptor plug should not be facing down, as this
could cause speaker noise and possibly damage the
cord.
When the AC power adaptor is connected to the
system, internal batteries are automatically
disconnected.

Note on the AC power adaptor
Use only the supplied AC power adaptor.  Do not use
any other AC power adaptor.

Battery replacement
When the batteries are weak, the POWER indicator
will start flickering and become faint, or the playback
sound will be distorted or unstable.
In such a case, replace all the batteries with new ones.
For battery life, see “Specifications”.

Design and specifications are subject to change without
notice.

• Operate the system only on 9 V DC when using

batteries.
For AC operation, use only the supplied AC power
adaptor.  Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

• After operating the system with the AC power

adaptor, disconnect the AC power adaptor from the
wall outlet if the system is not to be used for an
extended period of time.   The POWER switch on
the system does not turn the AC power adaptor off.

• If the system is not to be used for a long period of

time or is to be operated extensively on AC power,
remove the batteries to avoid damage caused by
battery leakage and corrosion.

• Do not open the cabinet.  Refer servicing to

qualified personnel only.

• Do not leave the system in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

system, remove the batteries and have the system
checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.

• Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean the

cabinet.

• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do

not leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit
cards or floppy disks using magnetic coding in
front of the system for an extended period of time.

• Sound pressure or oscillation from the speakers

may cause moire (an interference pattern of dark

wavy lines on the screen). It is not an influence of
magnetism. Decrease the volume of the speakers or
move them away from computer screen.

• If your computer does not have sound capabilities,

you will need to purchase an after-market sound
card.  For more information, refer to the manual of
the sound card.

If the TV picture or monitor display is
magnetically distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there
may be cases that the picture on some TV sets/
personal computer sets may become magnetically
distorted.  In such a case, turn off the power of the TV
set/personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30
minutes turn it on again.  For the personal computer
set, take the appropriate measures such as data
storage before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate
the system further away from the TV set/personal
computer set.  Furthermore, be sure not to place
objects in which magnets are attached or used near
the TV set/personal computer set, such as audio
racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may cause magnetic
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with
the system.

If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system that are not covered in this manual,
please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note
Remove the batteries as illustrated.

Connect a sub woofer to AUDIO OUT jack (stereo
mini jack).  The volume of the connected speaker
system is adjustable with the VOLUME control.

Note
When two types of equipment are connected to the
system and are played at the same time, the sound
from both of them will come out of the speakers.
When you wish to play only one equipment, make
sure that the other equipment is turned off or its
volume is turned down.
