Precautions

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet 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.
• Do not use the unit in a car. The operation cannot be guaranteed.

Installing

• Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit 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 unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

Precautions

On safety

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

On power sources

• 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.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) need to be changed, have it done at a qualified service shop only.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• Do not place the system by a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the rear.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

On adjusting volume

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

On your TV's color

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

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

Speaker Setup

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position.

Place the front speakers within 1 to 15 meters (3 to 50 feet) from the listening position (A).

You can place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 feet) closer (B) and the rear speakers up to 4.6 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening position than the front speakers.

Place the rear speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room, etc.

You can place the subwoofer at any position.

When the rear speakers are placed to the side

A B A 45° 90° 20°

When the rear speakers are placed behind you

A B A 45° 90° 20° C C

Note

Do not place the center and rear speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

Specifying the speaker parameters

For the best possible surround sound, specify the following parameters:

• Use the subwoofer or not
  • Distance of the speakers from your listening position
  • Position of the rear speakers

This system will reproduce the best possible surround sound by automatically adjusting the output from each speaker according to the speaker's position.

Details of each parameter will follow the description of the operation.

LOW → MID → HIGH.

Use this function to make fine adjustment of bass sound

When you want to adjust bass sound volume in wider range, use the WOOFER +/- buttons of the remote.

Note

Setting the LEVEL knob to HIGH may weaken the bass sound.

Moreover, extraneous noise may be heard.

Selecting the Sound Field

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to. You will get such presence that you will have the illusion that you are in a movie theater or concert hall while you are in your own room. See the table on the next page for the details on each sound field.

SOUND FIELD

Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until the sound field you want appears on the display window.

You can also use SOUND FIELD on the subwoofer. Each time you press SOUND FIELD, the sound field mode is selected and displayed in the following order.

The system memorizes the last sound field selected for each source component selected by the FUNCTION button (Sound Field Link)

When you select an audio/video component by the FUNCTION button, the sound field that was last applied for the component is automatically applied. For example, suppose you select the "PlayStation 2" connected to the OPTICAL 1 jack and select GAME as the sound field, then switch to OPTICAL 2 by the FUNCTION button and select HALL as the sound field. If you switch to OPTICAL 1 again, GAME will be applied as the sound field.

You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging
