Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing Sony DVD Home
Theatre System. Before operating this system,
please read this manual thoroughly and retain it
for future re ference.
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 cooling fan or ventilation slots by
putting anything on the system. Also, do not place the
system on a soft surfa ce such as a rug th at might block
the ventilation holes on the bottom . Th e sys tem is
equipped with a high power amplifier. If the cooling
fan or ventilation slots are blocke d, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
• 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 power saving purposes, set the system to standby
mode by pressing the "/1 button (the STANDBY
indicator lights up). To tur n of f th e sys te m
completely, remove the AC power cord (main s lead)
from the wall outlet (mains).
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, pa nel, and c ontro ls wi th a so ft clo th
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solutio n. D o
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 ne are st S ony de a le r .
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 color
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it
on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should
persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the
unit.

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 jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is
touching another speaker
terminal.
After connecting all the components, speakers , and AC power cord (mains lead) , outpu t a test to ne to
check that all the speakers are connected corr ectly. For details on outputt i ng a test tone, see page 77.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputtin g a test tone, or a test tone i s output from a speaker
other than the one curren tly disp laye d in the f ront pa nel disp lay, the spe aker may be shor t-cir cuited. If
this happens, check t he 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 lack ba ss an d ma y be distorted.
• If you connect the speaker cord incorrectly or turn up the volume in a state of a short circuit, “PROTECT” appears
in the front panel display and the system enters standby mode. In this case, disconnect and then reconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains), and then turn the system on.
Stripped cords are touching
each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.

Speaker Setup
Positioning the speakers
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 speake r up to 1.6 meters closer (B) and
the surround sp eakers up to 4.6 meters closer
(C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters (A) from the listening position.
Place speakers as illustrate d belo w
About magnetically shielded
speakers (to prevent color
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 subwoofer is use d
with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the
subwoofer at least 0.3 meter from the TV set. If
it is installed too close, color irregularity may
occur on the screen. If color irregularity occurs,
turn off the TV set once, then tu rn it o n a fter 15
to 30 minutes. If color irregu larity occurs again,
place the subwoofer farther away from t he TV
set. If color irregularity still occurs after
performing the above, make sure that no
magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer.
Color 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, toys, etc.
Specifying the speaker parameters

Notes
• Do not place the center and surround speakers farther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers.
• When you connect an optional surround back
speaker, place the surround back speake r behi nd the
listening position (place (D) as illustrated above). In
this case, set [SURROUND BACK] to [YES] in the
[SIZE] setting (page 75) to out put sound f r om the
surround back speaker.
GB
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first
specify the distance of the speakers from your
listening position, then s et the level and balance.
Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and
balance to the same level.
Select [SPEAKER SETUP] in the setup display.
For details, see “Settings for the Speakers”
