• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the DVD Home Theatre System and cause d amage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating th e unit.

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.

Getting Started

To change the speaker cables

If you want to use a di fferent speaker cable, you can detach the plug for attach m ent to another cable.

Detaching

Catcher

With the catcher facing down, press and hold the plug down against a flat surface and remove the cords from plug.

Attaching

While pressing the plug down against a flat surface, insert the new speaker co r ds. Note that the cord marked with a line should be attached to the minus (-) side of the plug.

Notes

• Be careful not to damage the surface you use (d es k, etc. ) when attaching/detaching the speaker cords.

• When using the subwoofer cord, note that the two outside black cords or the cords marked with letters are negative.

• If you connect the subwoofer cord incorrectly or tu rn 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 le ad) from the wall outlet (mains), and then turn the system on.

Tips

• You can use any commercially sold speaker cable of gau ge cord AW G #18 - AWG #22.

• Before attaching a new cable, strip off 10 mm of its insulation and twist the bare wires of both cords.

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.

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” (page 75).
