User manual SONY XS-V1620 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Make certain that the AC outlet is properly grounded. Do not use an adapter plug with this product. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Important Safety Precautions! 8. To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. [. . . ] If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make certain that it is of a similar gauge. We do not recommend using extension cords with this product. Best results, however, will be obtained when the speakers are placed on a strong and sturdy stand at a little distance from walls and corners. Placement in corners will increase the amount of bass, which can result in a "heavy" or "boomy" sound. If such placement is unavoidable, it is recommended that you use the tone control on the amplifier or receiver to reduce the bass. For good stereo imaging, we suggest that you begin with the two loudspeakers about 2. 5 metres from your listening position and at a similar distance apart. Every room is different and we strongly recommend that you experiment a little from this basic starting position in order to get the most pleasant results. Connections To connect the loudspeaker system to your amplifier or receiver use two-conductor insulated wire. For each channel, the red terminal on the loudspeaker should be connected to the red or (+) loudspeaker terminal on the amplifier or receiver and the black terminal on the loudspeaker should be connected to black or (-) terminal on the amplifier. We recommend 1. 3 mm wire as minimum, but longer wire runs might require thicker wire. If in doubt, please consult your authorized SONY dealer who can recommend suitable cables. 4 Danger: Low Power Loudspeakers can withstand a great deal of power as long as the sound is undistorted. You can safely use a power amplifier with a power rating greater than the loudspeaker system's rated power, as long as the sound reproduced is clean and undistorted. When the power output of the amplifier is exceeded, distortion sets in. A large share of these distortion products is directed to the tweeter, creating a dangerous situation for the smallest driver in the system. The smaller the amplifier or receiver you use, the bigger the danger of overdriving the amplifier and the greater the potential danger to the high frequency unit. [. . . ] If there is no sound coming from one speaker: · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. · In Dolby Digital or DTS® modes, make sure that the receiver/processor is configured so that the speaker in question is enabled.
