• 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.

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

Step 1: Installing the System

Positioning the system

For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position

Getting Started

(A). The distance can be between 1.0 to 7.0 meters. If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), you can move the center speaker up to 1.6 meters closer to the listening position (B), and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters closer to the listening position (C). The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.

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.

Before installing the front speakers on a wall, you need to disassemble the speakers. You can install the upper part of a speaker on a wall.

To disassemble the speaker

(Front speakers only)

1 Pull out the speaker cord from the slot of the rear of the speaker.

Step 2: Connecting the System

For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages. Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made.

Note

• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connecting the speakers

The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded depending on the type of speaker. Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKER jacks of the unit. 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 #. Do not catch the speaker cord insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.

To connect speaker cords to the unit

Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output via the HDMI OUT jack.

* HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Method 3: Component video cable (C) and video cord (A) connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV both with a component video cable and video cord. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the video cord connection. When connecting with the component video cable, you need to set the type of output signal to progressive format (page 33). To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the video cord. Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output via the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack.

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 on the unit while turning OPERATION DIAL on the

unit counterclockwise.
