Precautions

On power sources

AC power cord must be changed only at the qualifi ed service shop.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat b uil d- up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventila ti on slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can over heat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilati on hole s on the bottom.

• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to dire ct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur, the system may not opera te pr ope r ly. In this case, remove the dis c and leave the syst em turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• For power saving purposes, the system can be completely turned off by the "/1 button on the system. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the system is completely off.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signa ls. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mi ld detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring pow der or solvent such as alcohol or benzine. If you have any questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunc ti o n .

On your TV’s colour

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have colour irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.

The nameplate is located on th e rear of the unit.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holdi ng a st ill video image or on-screen display ima ge on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display ima ge displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

On moving the system

Before you move the system, remove the disc and turn off the power. The STANDBY indicator ligh ts up in red and “STANDBY” blinks on and off in the front panel display momentarily and then stays lit. You can then unplug the mains lead. Do not unplug while “STANDBY” is blinking on and off.

Tip

Connect the speaker ca ble afte r bending the spea ker wire at t he end of t he insu latio n. This prev ents th e speaker cable from being caught in the SP EA K ER jack.

To avoid 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 jack or the bare wire of another speake r cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and mains lead, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are co nnected correctly. For details on outputt i ng a test tone, see page 62. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the TV screen, the speaker may be short-circuited. 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 the cords are reversed, the sound will lack ba ss a nd ma y be distorted.

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

Before connecti ng the mains leads of this system to a wall outlet, connect the speakers to the sys t em (see page 12).

Getting Started

Speaker Setup

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 metres closer (B) and the surround sp eakers up to 4.6 metres closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

7.0 metres (A) from the listening position.

About magnetically shielded speakers (to prevent colour irregularity occurring on the TV screen)

The subwoofer in this system is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the subwoof er is used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer at least 0.3 metre from the TV set. If it is installed too close, colour irregularity may occur on the screen. If colour irregularity occurs, turn off the TV set once, then tu rn it o n a fter 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregulari ty occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set. If colour irregularity sti ll occurs aft er performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer. Colour irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object. Examples of possib le sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toy s, et c.

Note

Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listen ing position than the front speakers.

Specifying the speaker parameters

To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the distance of the speakers fr om your listening position, then s et the level and balance. Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and balance to the same l evel. Select “SPEAKER SET U P” i n t he setup display. For details, see “Settings for the Speakers” (page 61).

Glossary

Album

Section of a music piece or an image on a data CD containing MP3 a udi o t ra cks or JPEG files.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of sev er al chapters.

Dolby Digital

This movie theatre sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This forma t is also called “5.1,” wit h t h e subwoofer chan nel is designated as the 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a d ee p bass effect is needed). All s ix channels in this f ormat are recorded separately for superior ch annel separatio n. F urthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradat io n occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II cr eates five full-ban dw i dth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an adva nced, high-purity ma tr i x surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the or iginal recording w i th out adding any new sounds or tonal colourations.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all prog rams encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality tha t a pproaches the quality of discrete 5.1-ch annel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is f or use with an y stereo musi c recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro Log ic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Lo gi c produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the form er D olby Surround sy stem, Dolby Surround Pro Logic r eproduces left-to-ri ght panning more natur al ly and localizes sounds

more precis ely. T o tak e ful l adva ntage of Dol by Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speake rs and a center speak er. The surround speake rs output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. develope d. This technol ogy conforms to 5. 1channel surrou nd. This format compri ses of stereo surround ch annel and a discrete subwoofer chan nel in thi s format. DTS provide s the same 5.1 discre te channels of high qualit y digital audio. Superior channel separation is realized due to all channel data being recorded discretely and pr ocessed digitally.

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a si ngle-layer and sing l esided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Fu rthermor e, the data cap acity o f a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8. 5 G B , a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The pictur e data uses the MPE G 2 format, on e of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The pict ur e data is compressed to about 1/40 of its orig inal size. DVD also uses variable rat e co ding technology that processes allocated data according to the status of th e picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio pr esence. Furthermor e, various advance d functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

File

Section of a picture on a data CD containing JPEG image files.

Film based software, Video based software

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays

images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Multi-angle function

Various angle s, or viewpoints of the video camera, of a scene are reco rd ed on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subt itles in a picture are recorded on some DV Ds.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the viewers accord ing to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are sk ipped or repla ced with other s cenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu sc reens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyri ghts. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales r egion. Eac h region code is shown on the sy stem as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play the discs that match its region code. The system can also play disc s wit h the “ ” ma rk. Eve n whe n

ALL

the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may still be activated.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, movi ng pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Title

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.

Track

Section of a picture or a music piece on a CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album is composed of several tracks (MP3 only ).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc th at contains moving pic t ures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/14 0 of it s or ig in al siz e . Con se que nt ly, a 12 cm VIDEO CD c an co nta in u p t o 74 m i nut es of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the r ange of human hearing are compressed wh ile sounds we can hear ar e not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs. There are 2 versions of V IDEO CDs.

• Version 1.1: Yo u can play only moving

pictures and sounds.

• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still

pictures and en j oy PBC functions.
