Although you can easily make settings, anyone can intercept wireless communication or intrude into your wireless network, even without any sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a risk of unauthorized access or interception of data.

■WEP

WEP applies security to communications to prevent outsiders from intercepting communications or intruding into your wireless network. WEP is a legacy security technology that enables older devices which do not support TKIP/AES to be connected.

■WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)

TKIP is a security technology developed in response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP assures a higher security level than WEP.

■WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)

AES is a security technology that uses an advanced security method distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.

Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

On power sources

If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

Placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) that might block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the system and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel. It may limit reception of radio waves.
• Do not place the system in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical equipment.
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your physician or the manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless LAN function.

Operation

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 lenses inside the main unit. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On adjusting volume

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.

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.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On replacement of parts

In the events that this system is repaired, repaired parts may be retained for reuse or recycling purposes.

On your TV's color

If the speakers cause the color irregularity on your TV screen, turn off the TV then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity persist, place the speakers further away from the TV set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your TV screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time, you risk permanent damage to your TV screen. Plasma display panel televisions and projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

On moving the system

Before moving the system, make sure that there is no disc inserted, and disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains).

On Bluetooth communication

- Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective 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

- 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. This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:

• Use this main unit at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN device.
• Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters.
• Install this main unit and Bluetooth device as close to each other as possible.

- The radio waves broadcast by this main unit may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this main unit and Bluetooth device in the following locations:

– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be present - Near automatic doors or fire alarms

• This main unit supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth specification to ensure secure connection during communication using Bluetooth technology. However, this security may be insufficient 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 profile as this main unit.
• Bluetooth devices connected with this main unit must comply with the Bluetooth specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies with the Bluetooth specification, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods, display or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the Bluetooth device connected with this main unit, the communications environment, or surrounding conditions.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes about Discs

On handling discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car. After playing, store the disc in its case.

On cleaning

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

This system can only play a standard circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

In the event of a problem with the wireless sound function, have a Sony dealer check the entire system (main unit and surround amplifier).
