Notes on CD-DA discs
 
ˎBefore playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning 
cloth from the center out to the edge.
 
ˎDo not clean discs with solvents, such as 
benzine, thinner, or commercially available 
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl 
LPs.
 
ˎDo not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat 
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a 
car parked in direct sunlight.
On safety
 
ˎCompletely disconnect the power cord (mains 
lead) from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not 
going to be used for an extended period of 
time. When unplugging the system, always grip 
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
 
ˎShould any solid object or liquid get into 
the system, unplug the system, and have 
it checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it again.
 
ˎThe AC power cord can be changed only by a 
qualified service facility.
On placement

BLUETOOTH wireless technology
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range 
wireless technology linking digital devices, such 
as personal computers and digital still cameras. 
Using the BLUETOOTH wireless technology, you 
can operate the units involved within a range of 
about 10 meters.
The BLUETOOTH wireless technology is 
commonly used between two devices, but a 
single device can be connected to multiple 
devices.
You do not need wires to get connected as you 
do with a USB connection, and you do not need 
to place the devices face to face as you do with 
wireless infrared technology. You can use the 
technology with one BLUETOOTH device in your 
bag or pocket.
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a global 
standard supported by thousands of companies. 
These companies produce products that meet 
the global standard. 
Supported BLUETOOTH version and 
profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for 
various BLUETOOTH product capabilities. See 
“Specifications” for details on the supported 
BLUETOOTH version and profiles.
Note
 
ˎTo use a BLUETOOTH device connected to this system, 
the device must support the same profile as this system. 
Note that the functions of the BLUETOOTH device may be 
different depending on the specifications of the device, 
even if it has the same profile as this system.
 
ˎBecause of the properties of BLUETOOTH wireless 
technology, playback on this system is slightly delayed 
compared with audio playback on the transmitting device.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within 
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) 
of each other. The effective communication 
range may become shorter under the following 
conditions.
 When a person, metal object, wall or other 
obstruction is between the devices with a 
BLUETOOTH connection
 Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
 Around microwave ovens that are in use
 Locations where other electromagnetic 
waves occur
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 
802.11b/g) use the same frequency band (2.4 
GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device 
near a device with wireless LAN capability, 
electromagnetic interference may occur. This 
could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, 
or inability to connect. If this happens, try the 
following remedies:
 Try connecting this system and BLUETOOTH 
mobile phone or BLUETOOTH device when 
you are at least 10 meters away from the 
wireless LAN equipment.
 Turn off the power to the wireless LAN 
equipment when using your BLUETOOTH 
device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this system may 
interfere with the operation of some medical 
devices. Since this interference may result in 
malfunction, always turn off the power on 
this system, BLUETOOTH mobile phone and 
BLUETOOTH device in the following locations:
 In hospitals, on trains, and in airplanes
 Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Note
 
ˎThis system supports security functions that comply with 
the BLUETOOTH specification as a means of ensuring 
security during communication using BLUETOOTH 
technology. However, this security may be insufficient 
depending on the setting contents and other factors, so 
always be careful when performing communication using 
BLUETOOTH technology.
 
ˎSony cannot be held liable in any way for damages 
or other loss resulting from information leaks during 
communication using BLUETOOTH technology.
 
ˎBLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily guaranteed 
with all BLUETOOTH devices that have the same profile as 
this system.
 
ˎBLUETOOTH devices connected with this system must 
comply with the BLUETOOTH specification prescribed 
by the BLUETOOTH SIG, Inc., and must be certified to 
comply. However, even when a device complies with the 
BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases where the 
characteristics or specifications of the BLUETOOTH device 
make it impossible to connect, or may result in different 
control methods, display or operation.
 
ˎNoise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on 
the BLUETOOTH device connected with this system, the 
communications environment, or surrounding conditions.
