• A disc with paper or stickers on it

• A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape or a sticker still left on it

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 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.

ALL

Note about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD

Getting Started

Note

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

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

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight 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.

Attaching the foot pads to the subwoofer

Attach the foot pads (supplied) to the bottom of the subwoofer to stabilize the subwoofer and prevent it from slipping.

Remove the foot pads from the mount seat.

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:

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.

• 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

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.

Getting Started

Note

• 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 speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• 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.

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

To install the speakers on a wall

Before installing the speakers on a wall, 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 #.
