Note

- Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

Assembling the speakers

(DAV-DZ640K/DAV-DZ840K/DAV-DZ940K only)

For assembling the speakers, refer to the supplied "Speaker Installation Guide."

When installing the speakers on a wall

Caution

  • Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
  • 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. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.
  • Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Before installing the tall full stand-type speaker on a wall (DAV-DZ840K/DAV-DZ940K only)

Install only the upper part of the speaker.

Remove the protection sheets from the two pieces of double-sided tape on the speaker-bottom cover, then attach the speaker-bottom cover to the bottom of the upper part of the speaker.

Speaker-bottom cover Protection sheets Bottom of the upper part of the speaker

Note

- When attaching the speaker-bottom cover, align it with the indentation on the bottom of the speaker.

To hang the speaker on a wall

For DAV-DZ340K (Indian models), you can select the speaker hanging method.

• To hang the speakers directly on a wall in an upright position: see the following Steps. - To hang the front speakers on a wall at a desired angle by using the supplied wall mounting parts: see "To install the front speakers on a wall using the wall mounting parts" (page 23).

Additional Information

Precautions

On power sources

- Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.

On placement

  • Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
  • At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the system in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
  • Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked, the system can overheat and malfunction.
  • Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
  • Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
  • Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
  • Keep the system and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the system.

On operation

  • If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
  • If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On adjusting volume

- Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.

On cleaning

- Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

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

On cleaning discs, disc/lens cleaners

- Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners (including wet or spray types). These may cause the apparatus to malfunction.

On your TV's color

- If the speakers should cause your TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from your TV set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

On moving the system

- Before moving the system, make sure that there is no disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains).
