Sony TAV-L1 User Manual

 US

• Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. 

Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing 
the windows or using headphones is suggested.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid 

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with 

very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the 
speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is 
suddenly played.

This system is designed to operate on 
a 120 V AC supply only. Take care 
not to connect too many appliances to 
the same mains socket as this could 
result in fire or electric shock.

Do not touch the surface of the system. It remains hot, even 
after the system has been turned off for some time.

If you use this system near the seashore, salt may corrode 
metal parts of the system and cause internal damage or fire. 
It may also shorten the life of the system. Steps should be 
taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature 
of the area where the system is located.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source 

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet 
(mains), even if the unit itself has been turned off. To 
disconnect the system completely, pull the plug from the 
AC power source (mains).

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not 

intend to use it for an extended period of time.

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision 

technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, 
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, 
or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This 
is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a 
malfunction.

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing 

so may damage the screen surface.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on 

top of this system. The image may be uneven or the LCD 
panel may be damaged.

• If this system is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in 

the picture or the picture may become dark.
This does not indicate a failure. These phenomena 
disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 

continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this system is in 

use. This is not a malfunction.

• The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and 

mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this system also 
contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and 
regulations for disposal.

This system uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light 
source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does 
not appear, the fluorescent lamp has worn out and should be 
replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service 
personnel.

• Do not install the system in places subject to extreme 

temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a 
radiator, or heating vent or excessive dust, mechanical 
vibration, or shock. If the system is exposed to extreme 
temperature, the system may overheat and cause 
deformation of the casing or cause the system to 
malfunction.

• To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct 

illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot 
lighting directed down from the ceiling.

• Do not install optional components too close to the 

system. Keep optional components at least 30 cm (1 ft) 
away from the system. If a VCR is installed in front of the 
system or beside the system, the picture may become 
distorted.

• Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the 

system is positioned in close proximity to any equipment 
emitting electromagnetic radiation.

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat 

buildup.
