Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the System

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position (A). The distance can be between 0.0 to 7.0 meters. If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), place them within 7.0 meters of the listening position. Place the surround speakers to the rear of the listening position (B). The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.

oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

Surround right speaker (R)

To add the optional surround back speakers

You can enjoy 7.1 surround sound by purchasing the Wireless Surround Speaker Kit (WAHT-SBP2, optional). The optional product lineup differs depending on the area.

Installing the speakers on a wall

Caution

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Before installing the front speakers of BDV-E870 on a wall, you need to disassemble the speakers. You can install the upper part of the speakers on a wall.

About wireless LAN security

Since communication via the wireless LAN function is established by radio waves, the wireless signal may be susceptible to interception. To protect wireless communication, this system supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your network environment.

No Security

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 to correct for 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 that is distinct from WEP and TKIP. AES assures a higher security level than WEP or TKIP.
