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.

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

Place the system as illustrated below.

– 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 83) and “Ca librating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 84).

Note

• During the “D MPORT” 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.

• 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.
