On placement
• Do not place heavy objects on the tuner
which might cause malfunctions.
• Place the tuner in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the tuner.
• Do not place the tuner near heat sources, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place the tuner near equipment such
as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If the
tuner 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 suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor
antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the tuner on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the tuner.
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 tuner, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
