Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with
this product will increase eye hazard.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• For power saving purposes, the system can be
completely turned off by the POWER button on
the main unit. 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
signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged
when a peak level section is played.
On power sources
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-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 ventilation
slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct 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 operate properly. In this case, remove
the disc and leave the system 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.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder 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 malfunction.
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
further away from the set.
IMPORT ANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a
still video image or on-screen display image on
your television screen indefinitely. If you leave
the still video image or on-screen display image
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.

malfunction.
• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.
Step 1: Speaker System Hookup
Getting Started
Connect the supplied speaker system using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colours
of the terminals to those of the cords. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied
with this system.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.)
on page 24.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does
not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of bad conditions of the speaker cord
Exposed end speaker cord
is touching another speaker
terminal.
Exposed end cords are
touching each other due to
sloppy removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test
tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 27.
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 front panel display, the speaker may be
short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Notes
• 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 be distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
on the speakers.
To adjust the angle of the centre speaker
You can adjust the angle of the centre speaker as illustrated.
Getting Started
Loosen the screws at the bottom of
the centre speaker as illustrated.
Adjust the centre speaker.

Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(Only for the European models)
What is the Radio Data System?
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the
regular programme signal. This tuner offers
convenient RDS features such as station
name display. RDS is available only for FM
stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly,
or if the signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same type of services. If you are
not familiar with the RDS system, check with your
local radio stations for details on RDS services in
your area.
Naming Preset Stations
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters
for preset stations. These names (for
example, “XYZ”) appear in the system’s
front panel display when a station is
selected.
Note that no more than one name can be
entered for each preset station.

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround
sound produced by digital signal processing
technology developed by Sony. Unlike
previous surround sound fields mainly
directed at the reproduction of music,
Digital Cinema Sound is designed
specifically for the enjoyment of movies.
Dolby Digital
This sound format for movie theaters is
more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic
Surround. In this format, the rear speakers
output stereo sound with an expanded
frequency range and a subwoofer channel
for deep bass is independently provided.
This format is also called “5.1” because the
subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel
(since it functions only when a deep bass
effect is needed). All six channels in this
format are recorded separately to realize
superior channel separation. Furthermore,
since all the signals are processed digitally,
less signal degradation occurs.
74
Page 75
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
As one method of decoding Dolby
Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround
produces four channels from two-channel
sound. Compared with the former Dolby
Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround
reproduces left-to-right panning more
naturally and localizes sounds more
precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, you should have one
pair of rear speakers and a centre speaker.
The rear speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology that
the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround. The rear channel is stereo and
there is discrete subwoofer channel in this
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete
channels of high quality digital audio. The
good channel separation is realized because
the all channel data is recorded discrete and
processed in digital.
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 single-layer and
single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is
7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data
capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided
DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and
double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format,
one of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.
The DVD also uses the variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the
picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital
as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy
more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
Multi-angle function
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video
camera, for a scene are recorded on some
DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles
in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of
the disc by the age of the users according 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 skipped or replaced with
other scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version
2.0) to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy
playing simple interactive programmes,
programmes with search functions, and so
on.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD
system or DVD disc according to the sales
region. Each region code is shown on the
system as well as on the disc packaging. The
system can play the discs that match its
region code. The system can also play discs
with the “
ALL
” mark. Even when the region
code is not shown on the DVD, the region
limit may still be activated.

Title
The longest sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture
piece on video software; or an album, etc.,
for a music piece on an audio software.
Each title is assigned a title number enabling
you to locate the title you want.
Track
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a
CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a
track number enabling you to locate the
track you want.
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving
pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format,
one of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/140 of its original
size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can
contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio
data. Sounds outside the range of human
hearing are compressed while the sounds we
can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs
can hold 6 times the audio information of
conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving
pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution
still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
Super Audio CD (SACD)
This audio format is based upon the current
audio CD standards but includes a greater
amount of information which provides
higher quality sound. There are three types
of discs: single layer, double layer and
hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both
standard audio CD and Super Audio CD
information.
