Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the System

Getting Started

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.

Note

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,

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).

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.

To install the speakers on a wall

Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker. Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with the colored tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the colored tube to #.

Step 2: Connecting the System

For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages. Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made.

Note

• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connecting the speakers

The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded depending on the type of speaker. Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKERS jacks of the unit. Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #. Do not catch the speaker cord insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.

To connect speaker cords to the unit and surround amplifier

When connecting to the unit and surround amplifier, insert the connector until it clicks.

To the HDMI IN jack of the TV.

Method 1: HDMI cable (A) connection

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using the component video cable connection or the video cord connection. When connecting with the HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal (page 61).

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

61).

Method 3: Video cord (C) connection

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

Connecting the TV (Audio connection)

This connection sends an audio signal to the unit from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, perform this connection.

Rear panel of the unit

Digital optical cord (not supplied)

To the digital optical out jack of the TV.

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 24).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

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 64).

Connecting the other components

When another component you wish to connect to the system has an HDMI OUT jack

You can connect a component that has an HDMI OUT jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite receiver or PLAYSTATION®3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high-quality digital pictures and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.
