Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver 
and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any 
further.
On power sources
ˎ
Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is 
identical with your local power supply. 
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the back of the 
receiver.
ˎ
If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to 
disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC 
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
ˎ
One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety 
and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert 
the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
ˎ
AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service 
shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a 
malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the 
cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably*. To 
avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
*
The top of the cabinet may become too hot to touch.
On placement
ˎ
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase.
ˎ
Sufficient space around the receiver is needed to release heat. When 
placing the receiver in a rack, leave more than 44.45 mm (1.75 in) space 
above the receiver, and more than 44.45 mm (1.75 in) space along the 
sides of the receiver. The rack behind the receiver should be open. If you 
place the receiver with its back against the wall, leave more than 
88.9 mm (3.5 in) space between the receiver and the wall.
ˎ
Make sure to use a “WS-RE1” dedicated rack mount kit for this receiver 
when mounting the receiver on a rack mount.
ˎ
Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent 
heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.
ˎ
Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to 
direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
ˎ
Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the 
ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
ˎ
Magnets are attached to both the front panel and front cover. Do not 
place cards with magnetic stripes, such as bank cards or ID passes, near 
the receiver. These cards may become unusable due to the effects of 
the magnets on the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with soft dry cloth. 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.
