Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not climb on the active subwoofer , as you may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage may result.

On power sources

• Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the active subwoofer.

• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the 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 the qualified service shop.

• Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

On heat buildup

Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the system.

• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything under the speakers that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna.)

• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that have been specially treated (wi th wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other compon ents, be sure to turn off and unplug the system.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

Color irregularitie s 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 active subwoofer or satellite speaker further away from the TV set.

On cleaning

Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any question or problem concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes

• Refer to page 11 for how to connect a component without an HDMI jack.

• The HDMI jack has priority when you connect the component to the system using HDMI, INPUT COAX and INPUT OPT together.

• The INPUT OPT jack has priority when you connect both the audio output of the TV to the INPUT OPT and AUDIO jack of the system.

Notes on HDMI connections

• You can enjoy high quality images using an

HDMI cable with an HDMI logo. We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.

• Check the setup of the connected component if

an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length,

etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component.

• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling

frequency or the number of channels of audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

• When the connected component is not

compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may be not output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component.

• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI

conversion cable.

• No matter what input is selected for the system,

video signals from the HDMI input jack (BD, DVD, SAT) that was selected last time are output from the HDMI TV OUT jack.

“BRAVIA” Sync Features

What is “BRAVIA” Sync?

By connecting Sony components that are compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is simplified as below:

• One-Touch Play: When you play back a component such as a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (recorder), the system and the TV are turned on automatically and switch to the appropriate HDMI input.

• System Audio Control: While watching TV, you can select to output the sound from the TV speaker or the speakers of the system.

• System Power Off: When you turn off the TV, the system and the connected components are also turned off simultaneously.

“BRAVIA” Sync is compatible with a Sony TV, Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, AV amplifier, etc., with the Control for HDMI function.

CONTROL FOR HDMI is a mutual control function standard used by CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).

The Control for HDMI function will not operate in the following cases:

• When you connect this system to a component which is not correspond with the Control for HDMI function.

• When you connect the system and components using other than HDMI connection.

We recommend that you connect this system to products featuring “BRAVIA” Sync.

Note

• Depending on the connected component, the Control

for HDMI function may not work. See the operating instructions of the component.

Preparing for the “BRAVIA” Sync

To use the “BRAVIA” Sync, set the Control for HDMI function to on for the system and the connected component. When you connect a Sony TV with the Control for HDMI function, the Control for HDMI function for the system and the connected component can be set simultaneously by setting the Control for HDMI function of the TV.

• Regardless of the maximum volume level you set, the VOLUME +/– button of the system and the MASTER VOL +/– button of the remote are operable.

• If you do not want to limit the maximum volume level, select “MAX.”
