Step 2: Setting up the speakers

By connecting the supplied speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic Surround is a decoding system standardized in TV programs and movies. Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves the sound image by using four separate channels. These channels manipulate the sound to enhance the action as it happens on the screen.

Since the center speaker cannot produce enough bass, the bass sound of the center channel is output from the front speakers.

Other Features

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

(For European model only)

What is the Radio Data System?

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS feature, such as monitoring traffic, news, information programs, and locating a station by program type. RDS is available only on FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak. * Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they all provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Locating a station by program type (PTY)

You can locate the desired station by selecting a program type. The system tunes in that type of program currently being broadcast from the RDS stations stored in the tuner’s preset memory.

To the front outputs of the DVD player

Notes

• Each time you press DVD 5.1CH, the function changes as follows:

DVD 5.1CH y DVD (2 channel) (indicator on) (indicator off)

• You cannot enjoy the 5.1 channel surround sound if you connect a DVD player which does not have the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Connecting outdoor antennas

Connect an outdoor antenna to improve the reception. Refer to the instructions of each component.

FM antenna

Connect an optional FM outdoor antenna. You can also use the TV antenna instead.

Jack type A

75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied)

FM 75

Jack type B

IEC standard socket (not supplied)

AM antenna

Connect a 6 to 15 meter (20 to 50 feet) insulated wire to the AM antenna terminal. Leave the supplied AM loop antenna connected.

Jack type A

Insulated wire (not supplied)

FM 75

Jack type B

Insulated wire (not supplied)

Important

IAL

If you connect an outdoor antenna, connect a ground wire to the U terminal with the screw clamp. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Additional Information

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

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

• The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo system.

• Do not place the system in an inclined position.

• Do not place the system in locations where it is;

— Extremely hot or cold — Dusty or dirty — Very humid — Subject to vibrations — Subject to direct sunlight

On operation

• If the stereo system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any discs.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated.

Detector slots

Tab of side B

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

Tape type: CrO2/Metal Normal

Detector slots

Tab of side A

Side A

Break off the cassette tab of side A

If you have any questions or problems concerning your stereo system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

Page 52

Precautions (continued)

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled inside the tape deck and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not frequently change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fastforwarding, etc. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. When the tape heads become dirty

— the sound is distorted — there is a decrease in sound level — the sound drops out — the tape does not erase completely — the tape does not record

Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.

Troubleshooting

If you run into any problem using this stereo system, use the following checklist.

First, check that the power cord is connected firmly and the speakers are connected correctly and firmly.

Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

General

The display starts flashing as soon as you plug in the power cord even though you haven’t turned on the system (demonstration mode).

•Press DISPLAY (for LBT-LX90AV/ LX9AV) or DEMO (STAND BY) (for LBT-LX10AV) while the system is off.

If the system is in the Power Saving mode, press POWER SAVE/DEMO (STAND BY) (for LBT-LX90AV/LX9AV).

The demonstration appears automatically the first time you plug in the power cord, or if there is a power outage lasting longer than half a day.

The clock setting/radio presetting is canceled.

•The power cord is disconnected or a power failure occurs for more than half a day.

Redo the following procedures:

–“Step 3: Setting the time” on page 9. –“Step 4: Presetting radio stations” on

page 10.

To set the timer function again, also redo

“Waking up to music” on page 41 and “Timer-recording radio programs” on

page 42.

There is no sound.

•The jumpers for the DJ MIX jacks are not connected (for European, North American, and Mexican models only).

•Turn VOLUME clockwise.

•The headphones are connected.

•Insert only the stripped portion of the

speaker cord into the SPEAKER jack. Inserting the vinyl portion of the speaker cord will interfere with the speaker connection.

•The volume level is automatically set to the minimum during the Timer-recording.

Page 53

There is no microphone sound.

•Turn VOLUME or MIC LEVEL to adjust the microphone volume.

•Make sure the microphone is connected to the MIX MIC jack correctly.

52).

There is excessive wow or flutter, or the sound drops out.

•The capstans or pinch rollers are dirty. Clean them (see page 52).

Noise increases or the high frequencies are missing.

•The record/playback heads are magnetized. Demagnetize them (see page

52).
