SRS-PC45
Sony Corporation © 1998 Printed in Philippines
Features
The Sony SRS-PC45 is a compact-size speaker system with
a built-in power amplifier. This system can be connected
to a personal computer, Discman, WALKMAN*
headphone stereo, etc.
• The SURROUND function enables you to reproduce a
wide sound field.
• The magnetically shielded speakers should have little
effect on a TV screen or recorded tapes, etc. when placed
close to them.
• IBB (Intelligent Bass Boost) circuit enables you to obtain
powerful bass, regardless of the sound volume.
• Power output of 5 W + 5 W
• The “dynamic sound duct” assures a rich and powerful
bass.
• The dual-input system enables you to connect two audio
systems to the SRS-PC45 at the same time.
• AUDIO OUT jack enables you to connect an additional
sub woofer etc. to the SRS-PC45.
* WALKMAN is a registered trademark of Sony
Corporation.
Precautions
• Operate the system only on 9 V DC when using
batteries.
For AC operation, use only the supplied AC power
adaptor. Do not use any other AC power adaptor.
• After operating the system with the AC power adaptor,
disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet if
the system is not to be used for an extended period of
time. The POWER switch on the left speaker does not
turn the AC power adaptor off.
• If the system is not to be used for a long period of time
or is to be operated extensively on AC power, remove
the batteries to avoid damage caused by battery leakage
and corrosion.
• Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified
personnel only.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust,
moisture, rain or mechanical shock.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
remove the batteries and have the system checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not use alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the
cabinet.
•Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not
leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards or
floppy disks using magnetic coding in front of the
system for an extended period of time.
• Sound pressure or oscillation from the speakers may
cause moire (an interference pattern of dark wavy lines
on the screen). It is not an influence of magnetism.
Decrease the volume of the speakers or move them
away from computer screen.
• If your computer does not have sound capabilities, you
will need to purchase an after-market sound card. For
more information, refer to the manual of the sound card.
If the TV picture or monitor display is magnetically
distorted
Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may
be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal
computer sets may become magnetically distorted. In
such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal
computer set once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on
again. For the personal computer set, take the appropriate
measures such as data storage before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the
system further away from the TV set/personal computer
set. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which
magnets are attached or used near the TV set/personal
computer set, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc.
These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to
their interaction with the system.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
system that are not covered in this manual, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.

Power Sources (See fig. A)
Using on house current
When you use the AC power adaptor, the AC power
adaptor plug should not be facing down, as this could
cause speaker noise and possibly damage the cord.
When the AC power adaptor is connected to the system,
internal batteries are automatically disconnected.
Note on the AC power adaptor
Use only the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use any
other AC power adaptor.
Polarity of the plug
Battery installation
(See fig. B)
Battery replacement
When the batteries are weak, the POWER indicator will
start flickering and become faint, or the playback sound
will be distorted or unstable. In such a case, replace all the
batteries with new ones. For battery life, see
“Specifications”.
Connections (See fig. C)
Connect the left speaker to the source equipment.
When the system is connected to a monaural jack of a
radio, etc., the sound may only come through the left
speaker. In such a case, use the optional Sony plug
adaptor
PC-236HG. The sound will come through both speakers.
To connect to a stereo phone-type headphones jack
Use the optional RK-G138HG connecting cord.
Connecting to a Discman, WALKMAN, etc.
(See fig. D)
Note
When two types of equipment are connected to the system
and are played at the same time, the sound from both of
them will come out of the speakers. When you wish to
play only one equipment, make sure that the other
equipment is turned off or its volume is turned down.
Connecting to a sub woofer (See fig. E)
Connect a sub woofer to AUDIO OUT jack (stereo mini
jack). The volume of the connected speaker system is
adjustable with the VOLUME control.
