This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technol o gies ar e mark eted by some record companies. Please be aware that am ong those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDisc

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Co mpact Dis c (CD) stan dard, pl ayback on this product is not guaranteed.

Note on PBC (Playback Control) (VIDEO CDs)

This system conforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the disc type.

Disc type You can

VIDEO CDs with PBC functions (Ver. 2.0 discs)

Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well as music.

Play interactive software using menu screens displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in addition to the video playback functions of Ver. 1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play highresolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any sub sequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any sub sequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

About the Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a ne w hi gh-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional C D s are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times hi gher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequenc y range, and so pro vi des music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.

Types of Super Audio CDs

There are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

• Super Audio CD l ayer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

•CD layer*

: A layer that is readable by a

conventional CD pl ayer

Single layer disc (a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)

Super Audio CD layer

Hybrid disc* (a disc with an Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer)

CD layer*

2 channel area*

Multi channel area*

*1You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD

player.

*2Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary

to turn the disc over.

*3To select a lay er, see “Selecti ng a Playback Ar ea for

Hookup Overview

Perform all connections and settings by following Steps 1 to 7.

“Step 1: Speaker System Hookup” (page 15) “Step 2: Antenna (Aerial) Hookup” (page 24) “Step 3: TV Hookup” (page 25) “Step 4: Other Component Hookup” (page 30) “Step 5: Connecting the AC Power Cord (Mains Lead)” (page 32) “Step 6: Turning off the Demonstration” (page 32) “Step 7: Performing the Quick Setup” (page 33)

Video signal is se nt to th e TV , and is output from the TV screen; audio signals are processed by th is system and outpu t fro m the speakers of this system. You can also enjoy sound of other s our ces, such as TV programs, in ad di tion to DVDs or CDs.

Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

Connect the supplied speaker system using 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 speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.) on page 83.

• 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 speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on

a specially treated (waxed, oile d, pol ished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• 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 .

• Do n ot le a n or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.

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

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

After connecting all the components, speakers , an d AC power cord (mains lea d) , output a te st to ne to check that all the speakers are connected correc tl y. For details on outputting a tes t to ne, see page 85. If no sound is heard from a speaker while ou t putting a t est tone, or a test t one is output from a speaker other than the one curr ently disp layed on the Setup Di splay, t he sp eaker may b e short -circ uite d. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If t he cords are reversed, the sound will lack ba ss an d ma y be distorted.

• 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.

Getting Started

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 .

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 f ields per s econd. Fi lm-based software is derived f rom film an d display s images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for these i mages to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signal s need to be converted to match the t ype of DVD software that you are wa tc hi ng.

Note

• When you pl ay video-based software in progressive signal format, secti ons of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in th e in t e rl ace format.
