Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not work depending on the model.

• The above explanation is intended to serve as an example only. Therefore, depending on the component, the above operation may not be possible or may operate differently than described. In this case, use the remote commander supplied with the component.

Getting Started

1: Installing the speakers

This system allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel surround sound, be sure to connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can place your speakers as shown below.

Notes

• Be sure to use only the supplied speakers.

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

• Do not place your hand into the slit of the subwoofer when lifting it. The speaker driver may be damaged.

• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want. However, it is recommended to place the subwoofer on the front edge of a table or rack, etc., to accept the remote signal correctly.

Installing the speakers on the speaker stand

For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, you are recommended to use the speaker stand as below.

To install the speakers on a wall

Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker. For details, see “Connecting the speakers” (page 20).

Caution

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker. See the illustrations below.

2 Fasten the screws to the wall.

3: Connecting the audio/ video components

Before connecting the cords, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead). It is not necessary to connect all the cords. Connect audio and video cords according to the jacks of your components. After hooking up all your components, proceed to “4: Connecting the antennas (aerials)” (page 25).

Connecting TV, DVD recorder and Blu-ray Disc player

Sony recommends that you connect components to the system using an HDMI cable. By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync compatible components using HDMI cables, ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes operations simpler (page 41). When connecting components that are not compatible with “BRAVIA” Sync, set “CTRL HDMI” to “CTRL OFF” in the SET HDMI menu (page 43).

Notes

• The system is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC) function. For details, see page 47.

• You can see the letters “ARC” beside the TV’s HDMI jack if it is compatible with the ARC function. Even if you connect an HDMI cable to the jack, if the HDMI input jack is not compatible with the ARC function, you cannot use the ARC function.

• All the HDMI jacks on the system function in the same way. For example, you can connect a “PlayStation 3” to any available HDMI jack.

Notes on connecting cables

• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a

Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Colour or 3D images may not be displayed properly.

• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
