On BLUETOOTH
Communication
• BLUETOOTH devices should be used
within approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
(unobstructed distance) of each other.
The effective communication range may
become shorter under the following
conditions.
– When a person, metal object, wall or
other obstruction is between the
devices with a BLUETOOTH connection
– Locations where a wireless LAN is
installed
– Around microwave ovens that are in use
– Locations where other electromagnetic
waves occur
• BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11 b/g/n) use the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using
your BLUETOOTH device near a device
with wireless LAN capability,
electromagnetic interference may occur.
This could result in lower data transfer
rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this
happens, try the following remedies:
– Use this speaker system at least
10 meters (33 feet) away from the
wireless LAN device.
– Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
device when using your BLUETOOTH
device within 10 meters (33 feet).
– Install this speaker system and
BLUETOOTH device as closer to each
other as possible.
• The radio waves broadcast by this speaker
system may interfere with the operation
of some medical devices. Since this
interference may result in malfunction,
always turn off the power on this speaker
system and BLUETOOTH device in the
following locations:
– In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at
gas stations, and any place where
flammable gasses may be present
– Near automatic doors or fire alarms
• This speaker system supports security
functions that comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification to ensure
secure connection during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology. However,
this security may be insufficient
depending on the setting content and
other factors, so always be careful when
performing communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for
damages or other loss resulting from
information leaks during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology.
• BLUETOOTH communication is not
necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the same
profile as this speaker system.
• BLUETOOTH devices connected with this
speaker system must comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by
the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must be
certified to comply. However, even when
a device complies with the BLUETOOTH
specification, there may be cases where
the characteristics or specifications of the
BLUETOOTH device make it impossible to
connect, or may result in different control
methods, display or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off
depending on the BLUETOOTH device
connected with this speaker system, the
communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your speaker system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the speaker system, unplug the speaker
system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the speaker system, as
you may fall down and injure yourself, or
speaker system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the speaker system,
check that the operating voltage is
identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the rear of the bar speaker.
• If you are not going to use the speaker
system for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the speaker system from the
wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the
other for the purpose of safety and will fit
into the wall outlet (mains) only one way.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the speaker system heats up
during operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this speaker system
at high volume, the speaker system
temperature at the rear and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do
not touch the speaker system.
On placement
• Do not place the speaker system near
heat sources or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the
speaker system that might block the
ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
• Do not place metal objects other than a TV
around the speaker system. Wireless
functions may be unstable.
• If the speaker system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck,
noise may result and picture quality may
suffer. In such a case, place the speaker
system away from the TV, VCR, or tape
deck.
• Use caution when placing the speaker
system on a surface that has been
specially treated (with wax, oil, polish,
etc.), as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
• Take care to avoid any possib le injury from
the corners of the speaker system.
• Keep 3 cm (1 3/16 in) or more space under
the speaker system when you hang it on a
wall.
• The speakers of this speaker system are
not of magnetically shielded type. Do not
place magnetic cards on the speaker
system or near it.
On operation
Before conn ecting other devices , be sure to
turn off and unplug the speaker system.
If you encounter color irregularity
on a nearby TV screen
Color irregularities may be observed on
certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again
after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speaker system further away from
the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the speaker system with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or sol vent such as alcohol
or benzine.
If you have any question or problem
concerning your speaker system, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

在牆壁上安裝主動式揚聲器
註
• 準備適合牆壁材料和穩定性的螺絲 （無附
帶）。視牆壁材料而定，可能會損壞牆壁。
• 將螺絲穩固擰緊在牆柱上。
• 將主動式揚聲器水平掛在堅固的牆上。
• 讓 Sony 經銷商或授權承包商完成安裝，並在
安裝期間特別注意安全事宜。
• 對因安裝錯誤、牆壁不夠穩固、螺絲安裝錯
誤或自然災害等引起的事故或損壞，Sony
概不負責。
• 出於安全需要，懸掛主動式揚聲器必須至少
兩人。
2 測量已安裝電視機的深度 (A)，並在下
表中找出電視機底部與主動式揚聲器
