On safety
 Completely disconnect the power 
cord (mains lead) from the wall socket 
(mains) if it is not going to be used 
for an extended period of time. When 
unplugging the unit, always grip the 
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
 Should any solid object or liquid get 
into the system, unplug the system, and 
have it checked by quali ed personnel 
before operating it again.
   e AC power cord can be changed 
only by a quali ed service facility.
On placement
 Do not place the system in an inclined 
position or in locations that are 
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or 
humid or lacking adequate ventilation, 
or subject to vibration, direct sunlight 
or a bright light.
 Be careful when placing the unit 
or speakers on surfaces that have 
been specially treated (for example, 
with wax, oil, polish) as staining or 
discoloration of the surface may result.
 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 
CD player, and cause the system to 
malfunction. In this situation, remove 
the disc, and leave the system turned 
on for about an hour until the moisture 
evaporates.
On heat buildup
 Heat buildup on the unit during 
operation is normal and is not cause 
for alarm.
 Do not touch the cabinet if it has been 
used continuously at a high volume 
because the cabinet may have become 
hot. 
 Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
  is speaker system is not magnetically 
shielded, and the picture on nearby TV 
sets may become magnetically distorted. 
In this situation, turn o  the TV, wait 
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. 
If there is no improvement, move the 
speakers far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean this system with a so  cloth 
slightly moistened with a mild detergent 
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive 
pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as 
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

  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.
  e 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.   ese companies produce 
products that meet the global standard. 
  Supported Bluetooth version and 
pro les
Pro le refers to a standard set of 
capabilities for various Bluetooth product 
capabilities.   is system supports the 
following Bluetooth version and pro les. 
Supported Bluetooth version: 
Bluetooth Standard version 2.0
Supported Bluetooth pro les:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution 
Pro le)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote 
Control Pro le)

  E   ective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within 
approximately 10 meters (unobstructed 
distance) of each other.  e e ective 
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 
  E   ects 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.   is 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  o   the power to the wireless LAN 
equipment when using your Bluetooth 
device within 10 meters. 
  E   ects on other devices
  e radio waves broadcast by this system 
may interfere with the operation of some 
medical devices. Since this interference 
may result in malfunction, always turn 
o  the power on this system, Bluetooth 
mobile phone and Bluetooth device in 
the following locations:
 In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, 
at gas stations, and any place where 
 ammable gasses may be present
 Near automatic doors or  re alarms 
 Notes
   is system supports security functions that 
comply with the Bluetooth speci cation 
as a means of ensuring security during 
communication using Bluetooth technology. 
However, this security may be insu  cient 
depending on the setting contents and 
other factors, so always be careful when 
performing communication using Bluetooth 
technology.
 Sony cannot be held liable in any way 
for damages or other loss resulting from 
information leaks during communication 
using Bluetooth technology.
 Bluetooth communication is not necessarily 
guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that 
have the same pro le as this system.
 Bluetooth devices connected with this system 
must comply with the Bluetooth speci cation 
prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and 
must be certi ed to comply. However, even 
when a device complies with the Bluetooth 
speci cation, there may be cases where 
the characteristics or speci cations of the 
Bluetooth device make it impossible to 
connect, or may result in di erent control 
methods, display or operation.
 Noise may occur or the audio may 
cut o  depending on the Bluetooth 
device connected with this system, 
the communications environment, or 
surrounding conditions.
