WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.

Precautions

On power sources

• Install this system so that the AC power cord (mains) can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

On placement

• Do not place the system in locations that are hot and subject to direct sunlight, dusty, very humid, or extremely cold.
• Use caution when placing the system on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• 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.

• Position the Sony DVD Home Theatre System (DAV) and surround amplifier away from each other.

• Keep the system away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.
• If you use more than one set of these systems (Sony DVD Home Theatre System (DAV) and WAHT-SD1), position them away from each other to avoid cross talk.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinets with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution or water. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene.

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• 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.

Side view

Note

• Do not install the IR receiver in a place exposed to direct sunlight, or strong light such as an incandescent lamp.
• Do not use an IR transmitter or IR receiver other than the one supplied with this system.

Connecting the AC Power Cords (Mains Leads)

Before connecting the AC power cords (mains leads) of your Sony DVD Home Theatre System (DAV) and the surround amplifier to a wall outlet (mains), connect the front and center speakers to your DAV, and surround speakers to the surround amplifier.

Adjusting the Wireless System

After connecting the speakers, surround amplifier, IR transmitter, IR receiver, and the AC power cords (mains leads), adjust the wireless system for good transmission.

• If the POWER/ON LINE indicator flashes in red, the IR receiver is receiving an infrared signal from another Sony's wireless product. Move the IR transmitter and/or the IR receiver so that the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns green.

1 Press I/ on DAV and POWER on the surround amplifier.

The DAV and surround amplifier turn on and the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns red.

2 Orient the IR transmitter and IR receiver to face each other.

Adjust the position until the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns green.

Tip

• The IR transmitter is movable for easy reorientation.

Note

• Make sure that there is no obstruction such as a person or object between the IR transmitter and the IR receiver. Otherwise, the sound from the surround speakers may be interrupted.

• If the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns red, the transmission is incomplete. Adjust the position of the IR transmitter and IR receiver until the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns green.
