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 disc. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• For powe r savi ng pur poses, 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 the bottom exterior of the unit.

Speaker Setup

For the best possib le 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 centre speaker up to 1.6 metres closer (B) and the surround speakers 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.

Place speakers as i ll us trated below

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

The subwoofer in this system is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leak age. However, some leakage m ay occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the subwoofer is us ed with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer a t least 0.3 m etre from the T V set. If it is installed too close, colour irregulari ty may occur on the screen. If co lour irregularity occur s, turn off the TV set once, the n turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set. If colour irregularity still occurs after performing th e above, make sure that no magnetic object is pl aced near the subwoofer. Colour irregul arity may occur as a result of interaction be tween the subwoofer and th e magnetic object . Examples of possible sources of magne ti c interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healt hcare devices, toys, etc.

Getting Started

Note

Do not place the centre and surround speakers farther away from the listening posi tion than the front speakers.

Specifying the speaker parameters

To obtain the be st possib le surrou nd sound, first specify the dist ance of the speakers from your listening position, then set the leve l and balance. Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level a nd balance to the same level. Select “ S P EAKER SETUP” in the setup display. For details, see “Setting for the Speakers” (page 65).

This format is also called “5.1,” with the subwoofer channel designated as t he 0. 1 c han ne l (s in ce i t f unct ion s only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the si gnal s ar e pr oces se d di git al ly , les s signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output ch annel s f rom t wo- channe l so urc es. This is done using an ad vanced, high-purity matri x surround deco der that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording withou t adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo televi sion shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

As one method of de coding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from t w o- channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surr ound system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speak er s and a centre speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surr ound. This format comprises of stereo rear channels and a discrete subwoofer channel. DTS provides the same 5.1 discret e channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized due to all channel data being recorded discretely and processed digitaly.

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures ev en though it s diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided 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 double-sid ed DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compr ession technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. DVD also uses variable rate coding technology that processes allocated data according to the status of the picture. The audio data is re corded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced function s 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 angles of a sce ne, or viewpoints of the video camera are rec or ded 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 comple te ly 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 playba ck. By using menu screens 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 copyrights. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales region. Ea ch 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 “ ” mark. Even when

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, moving pictures and still pictures are div ided into se ctions call ed “scenes.”

Super Audio CD

This audio format is based upon the current audio CD standards but includes a greater

amount of information which provides higher quality sound. There ar e three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and Super Audio CD i nformation.

Title

The longest se ction of a pictur e 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 Super Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album is composed of several tracks (MP3 only).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The pictur e data uses the MPE G 1 format, on e of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The pict ur e 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 co nt ai n compact audio data. Sounds outside the ra nge of human hearing are compressed while sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio informat ion of conventional audio C D s. There are 2 versions of VI D E O CDs.

• Version 1.1: You can play only moving

pictures and soun ds.

• Version 2.0: Y ou can pl ay high -resol utio n stil l

pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This system conform s t o both versions.
