Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the System

You can select from one of three positions for installing the main unit: in a vertical position, in a

horizontal position, or on a wall. For details, see “Selecting the installation position of the main unit”

(page 27).

You can also install the front speakers on a wall. For details, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation

Guide.”

Install the system by referring to the illustration below.

• 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.

• Leave a space for inserting/ejecting the disc (approximately 15 cm) to the right (disc slot) side of the main unit when

placing an object nearby.

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

• Image distortion on the TV screen may occur depending on the location of the subwoofer. In this case, place the

subwoofer away from the TV.

• Do not block the ventilation openings of the main unit (page 10).

• Place both front speakers the same distance apart from the listening position (A).

• The front speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m apart.

Getting Started

How to position the system

C Subwoofer

D Main unit

Approximately 15 cm

Getting Started

• Place the front speakers forward from the TV. Make sure there are no obstacles in front of the speakers.

• Both front speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.

Note on handling the subwoofer

Do not hold the subwoofer by the middle opening when lifting it. The speaker driver may be damaged.

When lifting the subwoofer, hold it from the bottom.

• It is recommended to place the subwoofer on a hard floor.

• You can place the subwoofer to the left or right of the main unit, facing the listening position.

Opening

Getting Started

Step 2: Connecting the System

For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages.

Do not connect the AC power cords (mains leads) of the main unit and subwoofer to a wall outlet

(mains) until all the other connections are made.

• 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.

Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKERS jacks of the subwoofer.

When connecting to the subwoofer, insert the connector until it clicks.

Before connecting the cables, remove the panel cover from the main unit.

Getting Started

A HDMI cable connection

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with a High Speed HDMI cable. This will provide

better image quality compared to other types of connections.

When connecting with a High Speed HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when

performing the Easy Setup (page 32).

For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 65).

About Audio Return Channel

If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, a High Speed 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 setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio

Return Channel] (page 65).

B Video cord connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, make this connection.

C Digital optical cord connection

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

perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast

signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.

• You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 33).

Getting Started

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 a High Speed HDMI cable. A High Speed HDMI cable

connection can send both video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using

a High Speed HDMI cable, you can enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI IN 1 or

HDMI IN 2 jack.

• Video signals from the HDMI IN 1/2 jacks are sent to the HDMI OUT jack only when the “HDMI1” or “HDMI2”

function is selected.

• To send an audio signal from the HDMI IN 1/2 jacks to the HDMI OUT jack, you may need to change the audio

output setting. For details, see [Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] (page 62).

• You can change the audio input of a component that is connected to the HDMI IN 1 jack to the TV DIGITAL IN

(OPTICAL) jack. For details, see [HDMI1 Audio Input mode] in [HDMI Settings] (page 65). (European models

only.)

Getting Started

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial).

• After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.

• If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the main unit to an outdoor

FM antenna (aerial).

Getting Started

• To connect the system to your network, you need to make network settings that suit your usage environment and

components. For details, see “Setting up the Network” (page 56) and “[Network Settings]” (page 66).

For BDV-L800/BDV-L800M

Select the method based on your LAN (Local Area Network) environment.

• If you use a wireless LAN

The system has built-in Wi-Fi, and you can connect the system to the network by making the network

settings.

• If you use other than a wireless LAN

Connect to the network by making a LAN cable connection as follows.
