Note about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.

The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating instructions for the recording device.

Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDiscs

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 Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About Multi Session CD

•This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

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

•If MP3 files and JPEG image files in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Region code

Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play a DVD labeled with the same region code.

A DVD VIDEO labeled ALL will also play on this system.

If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.

Note about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD

Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions supplied with the DVD or VIDEO CD.

Step 1: Assembling the Speakers

(DAV-DZ570 only)

Before connecting the speakers, attach the speaker stand to the speaker. (For the front speakers)

Use the parts as follows:

•Front speakers (2)

•Speaker cords (2, red/white)

•Posts (2)

•Bases (2)

•Mounting plates (2)

•Post covers (2)

•Screws (large, with washer) (4)

•Screws (small) (6)

About how to connect the speaker cords to the SPEAKER jacks, see page 24.

Note

• Spread a cloth on the floor to avoid damaging the floor when you assemble the speakers.

Tip

•You can use the speaker without the speaker stand by installing it on the wall (page 16).

•You can install the front and surround speakers on a wall by using the wall mounting bracket (supplied) (page 19). (DAV-DZ370 only.)

1 Thread the speaker cord through the hole in the base and post.

The connector and color tube of the speaker cords are the same color as the label of the jacks to be connected.

Use the speaker cords as follows:

•Front speaker (L): White

•Front speaker (R): Red

Be careful with the orientation of the post. Thread the speaker cord (and the speaker system cord) into the end of the post that has two holes.

Step 2: Positioning the System

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position (A).

However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the front speakers.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.

Place the system as illustrated below.

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

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

Tip

•When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see “Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a Room” (page 87) and “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 88).

To install the speakers on a wall

•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.

•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 improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

To install the front and surround speakers on a wall using the wall mounting bracket (DAV-DZ370 only)

2 Connecting the TV

Use the parts as follows:

• Video cord (1)

To listen to TV sound from the six speakers of the system, connect the TV and the system with the audio cord (not supplied) (A).

For video output to your TV, check the video input jacks of the TV, and select connection method A, B, or C. Picture quality improves in order from A (standard) to C (HDMI).

When the TV has the digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting with the digital cord (B).

If your TV has the HDMI jack, use this connection and select the type of output signal (page 33).

Note

•During the “DMPORT” function, video signal is not output from the HDMI OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

•The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

Tip

•You can connect another component, such as a VCR, digital satellite receiver, or PlayStation, to the TV/VIDEO jacks (A or B) instead of the TV.

To change the color system (PAL or NTSC) (Asian, Australian, and Middle Eastern models only)

Depending on the TV to be connected, you may be required to select either PAL or NTSC for the color system.

The initial setting of the system for Australian and Middle Eastern models is PAL. The initial setting of the system for Asian models is NTSC.

1 Turn off the system by pressing "/1.

2 Turn on the system by pressing "/1 while pressing X on the unit.

Each time you perform this operation, the color system toggles between PAL and NTSC. “NTSC” lights up in the front panel display when the color system is set to NTSC.
