oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

A Front speaker (L (left)) B Front speaker (R (right)) C Center speaker D Surround speaker (L (left)) E Surround speaker (R (right)) F Subwoofer G Unit

• To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.” (BDV-E980/BDV-E880 only)

• You can install the speakers on a wall. For details, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.”

About the subwoofer’s speaker cord

Step 2: Connecting the System

For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages. Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made. To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.” (BDV-E980/BDV-E880 only)

Getting Started

• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connecting the speakers

To connect speaker cords to the speaker

You need to connect a speaker cord to each of the front, center, and surround speakers. The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded based on the speaker type. 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.

The video cord is supplied with Russian, Saudi Arabian, and Taiwan models only.

Available only when your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function.

A HDMI cable connection

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. This will provide better image quality compared to other types of connections. When connecting with an HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when performing the Easy Setup (page 29). For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 61).

About Audio Return Channel

If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV sound. For setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel] (page 61).

B Component video cable connection (for non-European/non-Saudi Arabian models)

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV with a component video cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using a video cord connection. When connecting with a component video cable, you need to select the type of output signal in the Easy Setup (page 29).

C Video cord connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack or a component video input jack, make this connection.

D Digital optical cord connection

This connection sends an audio signal to the system from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.

Getting Started

• You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 30).

• If your TV does not have a digital optical output jack, you can connect the unit and your TV with an audio cord for listening to TV sound via the system. For connection details, see “Connecting the other components” (page 24).

Connecting the other components

When a component you wish to connect to the system has an HDMI (OUT) jack

You can connect a component that has an HDMI (OUT) jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite receiver or PLAYSTATION®3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.
