¢ In this manual, the illustrations of the unit
are illustrated as FH-B500K, unless
specified otherwise.
¢ Use the page numbers in “Parts
identification” on pages 6 and 7 as an
index to find out how to use the buttons
and controls.
On operating voitage
Before operating the stereo system, check
that the operating voltage of your system is
identical with the voltage of your local power
supply.
On safety
¢ The system is not disconnected from the
AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wail outlet, even if the
system itself has been turned off.
¢ Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it
is not to be used for an extended period of
time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
¢ Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the component, unplug the system and
have the component checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
© AC power cord must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
On installation
Place the stereo system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat
build-up in the system.
On moisture condensation in the CD
player section
if the system is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the
CD player will not operate. In this case,
remove the disc and leave the system
turned on for about an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
If you have any question or problem
concerning your stereo system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
For the customers in the USA
¢ As the laser beam used in this unit is
harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to
disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.
¢ For detailed safety precautions, see the
leaflet “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.”
