Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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

Enabling the low power stand-by mode
In the factory default condition, the unit is set up so that also
while power of the AQUOS AUDIO system is off, it is possible
to play back video and audio from a non-HDMI CEC-enabled
component (such as a media player) on the AQUOS TV. This
is called the "HDMI ON" mode.
If you change the setting to "HDMI AUTO", the above
function will no longer be available, but the low power
stand-by mode enables the unit to operate effi ciently and
conserve electrical power. (page 30)
When an HDMI CEC-enabled component (such as a media
player) is used, the video and audio can be played back and
controlled with the AQUOS TV at any time, regardless of the
HDMI ON or HDMI AUTO setting.
• Use the remote control of the AQUOS AUDIO system and
point it towards this unit.
Correcting a time lag during Blu-ray

If you feel that there is a slight mismatch (lip sync error)
between the image as seen on the AQUOS TV and the sound
as reproduced by the AQUOS AUDIO system, you can set
the audio delay (DLY) function to ON.
This will delay the sound reproduced by the AQUOS AUDIO
