Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the System

Positioning the speakers

Getting Started

For the best possible sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position (A).

Place the system as illustrated below.

A Front left speaker (L) B Front right speaker (R) C Subwoofer

D Control unit

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.

• 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 slots of the control unit and the subwoofer.

• Place both front speakers the same distance apart as they are from the listening position (to form an isosceles triangle).

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

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

To place the front speakers

An adjustable support is stored inside the bottom of the speaker. Turn the adjustable support 90° or 180° when placing the speaker to prevent it from falling down.

Select the angle according to your preference.

When placing the speakers vertically When placing the speakers at the same

90° 180°

Note

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

Note on handling the subwoofer

Do not place your hand into the slit of the subwoofer when lifting it. The speaker driver may be damaged. When lifting, hold the bottom of the subwoofer.

Getting Started

Subwoofer

Slits

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

• You can also place the subwoofer either side, facing the listening position.

If you install the speakers on the 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.

1 Before installing the speakers on a wall, check that the adjustable support is returned to

its original position on the bottom of the speakers.

2 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 color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord, such as shown below.

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

Getting Started

Note

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords

are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV both with an HDMI cable and video cord. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the video cord connection. When connecting with the HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal (pages 29, 69). To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the video cord. Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output via the HDMI OUT jack.

* HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Note

• Check that the shape of the HDMI jack on the control unit matches the orientation of the terminal of the HDMI cable, and then connect the HDMI cable.

Method 3: Component video cable (C) and video cord (A) connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV both with a component video cable and video cord. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the video cord connection. When connecting with the component video cable, you need to set the type of output signal to progressive format (pages 29, 69). To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the video cord. Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack.
