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 to 23 feet (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 23 feet (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.

For the position of the surround back speakers, refer the illustration below (C).

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.

Method 2: Component video cable (B) connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV with a component video cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using the video cord connection. When connecting with the component video cable, you need to select the type of output signal (page

55).

Method 3: Video cord (C) connection

If you do not have an HDMI cable or a component video cable, temporarily make this connection.

With a digital audio connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.

Note

• When you connect the TV and the unit with an audio cord, see “Connecting the other components” (page 25).

About Audio Return Channel

If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV sound. For details of the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel] (page 58).

Note

• A digital optical cable connection has priority over the Audio Return Channel function via HDMI cable connection.
