Notes on discs

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. DualDiscs and some of the music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies do not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, therefore, these discs may not be playable by this product.

Example of discs that the system cannot play

The system cannot play the following discs:

• CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in the formats listed on page 5

• CD-ROM recorded in PHOTO CD format

• Data part of CD-Extra

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.

Note

• 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 lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

Surround right speaker (R)

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 protective cover.

Getting Started

Assembling the speakers

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

Use the parts as follows:

• Front speakers (2)

Getting Started

• Speaker cords (2, red/white)

• Posts (2)

• Bases (2)

• Screws (black) (4)

• Screws (with washer) (4)

For details of how to connect the speaker cords to the SPEAKER jacks, see page 19.

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 17).

1 Fold back the speaker cord and twist it together.

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 left speaker (L): White

• Front right speaker (R): Red

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 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 #.

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

When connecting to the unit, insert the connector until it clicks.
