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.

Getting Started

1: Installing the speakers

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).

Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSub woofer

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

Before you install the speakers and sub woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.

Installing the speakers on the speaker stand

For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). Be sure to detach the screw from the speaker and use it when you install the speaker to the speaker stand. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Installing the speakers on the wall

You can install your front, center and surround speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker as shown in the illustrations below.

Notes

• 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.

2: Connecting the speakers

Before connecting the cords, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

Notes

• When listening to a component connected to the VIDEO IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN jack, sound may be distorted or interrupted. This is not a malfunction and will depend on the connected component.

• If the sound from the component connected to the VIDEO IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN jack is very soft, you may increase the volume level. However, before you select other component, be sure to reduce the volume level to avoid damaging your speaker.
