Features

The Sony SRS-N100 consists of two full-range speakers and a woofer. Positioning these speakers close to the listener so that he is facing them, the listener will be able to experience the ambience of the music source. This system can be connected directly to a Discman, DAT player, Mini Disc player, etc. With the supplied remote commander, you can operate the connected Sony CD player or Discman as well as this speaker system.

• The cabinets of the full-range speakers are composed of the developed P.P. composite material to realize good acoustics.
• The combination of soft biocellulose and light-weight solid mica for the diaphragm of the full-range speakers
• R-core transformer, schottky barrier diodes and quality capacitors are employed for the low noise power supply section.
- DC output terminal (4.5 V) for the power supply for a Discman etc.

Precautions

• Operate the system only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• The system is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull it out by the cord.
• Do not open the speaker cabinets. 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, disconnect the AC power cord and have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• When the speaker cabinet becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never use alcohol, benzine or thinner as they may mar the finish.
• Although the woofer module 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 as a precaution.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your system that are not covered in this manual, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Connections

Attaching the Full-range Speakers

Mount the full-range speakers to the woofer module.

1 Attach the joint of the full-range speaker arms to the woofer module by matching the joint and the rectangle holes on the woofer module. Be sure to connect them firmly.
2 Tighten the arm fixing screws.
3 Connect the plugs of the speaker cords to the speaker terminals on the woofer module.

Note

Mount both the right and left of the full-range speakers correctly to the woofer module.

Positioning

• Place the system on a solid location such as on a desk or an audio rack.
• Do not rotate the full-range speaker arms forcibly. (The arms can be rotated almost 50 degrees.)
• To obtain the maximum performance of the system, keep the system away from the wall behind it. Especially when you use the system on top of a desk etc., place it close to the edge of the desk as illustrated.

Power Source of the Connected Equipment

When you use portable equipment (power requirement: 4.5 V, current drain: less than 500 mA) like a Discman, the power of the portable equipment could be supplied from the system. Remove the protection cover first from the system. Connect the portable equipment and the system with the supplied DC output cord as illustrated. (The portable equipment may be placed on top of the woofer module as illustrated.) The DC output is not operated by the POWER switch of the system. When you disconnect the plug of the DC output cord from the woofer module, pull the plug out while pressing down the catch on the plug.

Connections

Notes on the Insulators

Use the supplied insulators when you place the portable equipment such as Discman on top of the woofer module. Attach the supplied insulators on the top side of the woofer module as illustrated.

When you place equipment such as a Discman etc. Attach the insulators with their projecting parts pointing outwards.

When you place equipment such as a Mini Disc player etc.

Attach the insulators with their projecting parts pointing inwards.

Notes

• When you detach the insulators, do not pull them by holding the projecting parts.
• A dirty or defective disc or some player may cause sound drop-outs in playing. In such a case, place the portable equipment further away from the system.
• When you use the Discman equipped with the ESP function and the ESP function is activated, some discs may cause the Discman unit to vibrate. In such a case, turn the ESP function off.
