Troubleshooting
If you experience any
of
the
following
difficulties
while
using the receiver,
use
this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your
nearest Sony dealer.
•
Do
not place the receiver near heat sources,
or
in
a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust,
or
mechanical shock.
•
Do
not place anything
on
top
of
the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes
and
cause malfunctions.
•
Do
not place the receiver near equipment
such
as
a television,
VCR,
or
tape deck.
(If
the
receiver is being
used
in combination
with
a television,
VCR,
or
tape
deck,
and
is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result,
and
picture
quality
may
suiTer.
This
is
especially
likely
when using
an
indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we
recommend using
an
outdoor antenna
(aerial).)

operation
Before connecting other componellls,
be
sure
to turn
off
and
unplug the receiver.
On
cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth
slightly
moistened
with
a
mild
detergent solution.
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.
