• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Hookup Overview

Perform all connections and settings by follow ing Steps 1 to 6.

“Step 1: Speaker System Hookup” (page 14) “Step 2: Antenna (Aerial) Hookup” (page 18) “Step 3: TV Hookup” (page 19) “Step 4: Connecting the AC Power Cord (Mains Lead)” (page 20) “Step 5: Turning off the Demonstration” (page 20) “Step 6: Performing the Quick Setup” (page 21)

Video signal is sent to the TV, and is output from the TV scr een; audio signals are processed by this system and output from the speakers of this syst em. You can also enjoy sound o f o ther sources, such as TV programs, in addition to DVDs or CDs.

Getting Started

Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

Connect the supplied speaker system usi ng the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the jacks to those of the cords. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied with this system. To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speak er par ameters (distance, level, etc.) on page 67.

COAXIAL

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

• Do not place the speakers in locations that are: – Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Subject to vibrations – Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or s pe ak er s tands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on

a specially treated (waxed, oi l ed , po l is h ed , et c.) floor, as staining or discolor ati o n may resu l t.

continued

• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or be nz ine .

To connect the speaker cords

Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker i n sulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.

Note

• D o no t c atch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions w hen conne cting the speakers. Ma ke sure th e bare wire of each spea ker cord do es not tou ch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of an other speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

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

After connectin g al l the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), out put a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 69. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to t he appro priate term inal on the comp onents: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

Installing the speakers on the wall

1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker.

Note

• 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 wa ll . In st al l the speak ers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

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

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by imprope r insta llation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw insta lla tion, natural calamity, etc.

Step 2: Antenna (Aerial) Hookup

Connect the supplied AM/FM antennas (aerials) for listening to the radio.

AM loop antenna (aerial)

FM wire antenna (aerial)

Note

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna (aerial) away from the system and other components.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire ant enn a (aerial).

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

Tip

• When you connect the supplied AM loop antenna (aerial), cord (A) or cord (B) can be connected to either terminal.

• If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohms coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the system to an outdoor FM antenna (aerial) as shown below .

Speaker Setup

Positioning the speakers

For the best possib le surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A ). However, this system allows you to place the center speaker u p to 1. 6 mete rs (5 ft ) close r (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

7.0 meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.

Place speakers as i ll us trated below.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the spea ker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the system.

Getting Started

Note

• Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listen ing position than the front speakers.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front and center speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As th e s urround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the su rr ound spea ke rs s lig ht ly fur th er away from TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
