Precautions

continued

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 Sound Bar or the

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 Sound Bar.

 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.

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, excessiv e dust, or mechanical shock.

Do not place anything at the rear of the

Sound Bar that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.

If the system is being used in

combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. In this case, place the system away from the TV, VCR, or tape deck.

Use caution when placing the system

on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

Take care to avoid any possible injury

on the corners of the Sound Bar or the subwoofer.

On operation

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

BLUETOOTH wireless technology

Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles

Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various BLUETOOTH product capabilities. See “Specifications” (page 26) on the BLUETOOTH version and profiles supported by this system.

Notes

 For you to use the BLUETOOTH

function, the BLUETOOTH device to be connected must support the same profile as this system. Even if the device supports the same profile, the functions may differ because of the specifications of the BLUETOOTH device.

 The audio playback on this system may

be delayed from that on the BLUETOOTH device because of the characteristics of the BLUETOOTH wireless technology.

Effective communication range

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

Effects of other devices

BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) 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:

 Try connecting this system and

BLUETOOTH mobile phone or BLUETOOTH device when you are at least 10 meters (33 feet) away from the wireless LAN equipment.

 Turn off the power to the wireless

LAN equipment when using your BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters (33 feet).

Effects on other devices

The radio waves broadcast by this system may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this system, BLUETOOTH mobile phone 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

Notes

 This system supports security

functions that comply with the BLUETOOTH specification as a means of ensuring security during communication using BLUETOOTH technology. However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting contents 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 system.

BLUETOOTH devices connected with

this 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 system, the communications environment, or surrounding conditions.
