About the surround back speaker

You can enjoy 7.1 surround sound with the surround back speakers by purchasing the additional surround amplifier (optional). Use the commercially available speakers for the surround back speakers. To use the surround amplifier for the surround back speakers, connect the surround back speakers (not supplied) to the surround amplifier, see “Using an S-AIR Product” (page 89).

Note

• Avoid placing obstructions around the speaker.

• After insta lling the speakers, arrange the speaker cords so as not to topple the speakers by catching the speaker cords with your foot.

• Avoid placing the center speaker on the TV.

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

• Avoid placing the speakers in locations that are:

– Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Subject to vibrations – Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

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

• Do not bend, twist, or fold the speaker grille. (BDV-IT1000ES only)

• Do not insert an object (especially metal) into a hole on the front part of the speaker. (BDV-IT1000ES only)

• Avoid placing the speakers close to a CRT-based TV. It may cause color irregularity. (BDV-IT1000ES only)

• When using the optional stand, we recommend that the speakers are installed on a flat and firm floor (not on a thick pile carpet, for example). The speakers may topple over if installed on an inclined or soft floor.

• When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 98) and “Setting the Speakers” (page 100).

About the HDMI connection

If you connect a 1080/24p- or 1080p-compatible TV, use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you connect a Sony TV that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function (page 95), operation is simplified (ex. ONE-TOUCH PLAY: With one touch of the button, the connected TV turns on and the input selector on the TV is switched to the system automatically). For details, see “Using the Control for HDMI Function for “BRAVIA” Sync” (page 95).

Note

• Be sure to use only an HDMI cable that bears the HDMI logo.

• When connecting the HDMI cable, make sure that the direction of jacks are the same.

To connect to a TV with DVI input

Use an HDMI-DVI converter cable (not supplied). The DVI jack does not accept audio signals; therefore, the sound is not output from a TV. Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

Connection 1 (SAT/CABLE jacks)

You need to make both video and audio connections. For video connection, check the video output jacks of the component, and select a connection method. B (component) offers the better picture quality than A (standard). For audio connection, connect the audio cords (A). If the component has a digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting with the digital cord (B).

Note

• The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

Connection 2 (HDMI IN1/2 jacks)

When connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can enjoy high quality digital pictures and sound through the HDMI IN1 or 2 jack. You can connect up to two components.

Note

• When connecting the HDMI cable, make sure that the direction of jacks are the same.

Connection 3 (DMPORT jack)

Connect a DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter (not supplied) to the DMPORT jack. For details, see “Using the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT Adapter” (page 88).

Note

• Connect the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter so that the V marks are aligned. When disconnecting, pull out while pressing A.

About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and the Sony DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of the movie director.

About “MOVIE-D.C.S.-”

“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” is ideal for enjoying movie software encoded with multi channel format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studios. “MOVIE-D.C.S.-” consists of the following three elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension The system creates five sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation The system reproduces the reverberations

Page 81

peculiar to a movie theater.

“MOVIE-D.C.S.-” is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.

Note

• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise in the playback signal.

• With decoding modes that use virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
