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.

Assembling the speakers

(DAV-DZ730 only)

For assembling the speakers refer to “Speaker Installation Guide” (supplement).

When installing the speakers on a wall

Caution

• Contact a screw shop or installer for information 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. 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 Connecting the video to your TV

Depending on the jacks on your TV, select one of the connection methods.

x Method 1: SCART (EURO AV) cable (not supplied) connection

This is the basic connection and sends both video and audio signals (analog stereo).

x Method 2: HDMI cable (not supplied) connection

Picture quality will be improved compared to Method 1. If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, this 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 “Receiving the digital audio signal of your TV” (page 52).
