SONY SAVA10 - Additional Information - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a living room scene with people relaxing on sofas, TV set, and a coffee table (no text or symbols)

The SA-VA10 is an active home-theatre speaker system incorporating a Dolby Pro Logic decoder and super woofer speakers. Its design features allow easy connection to your current TV/VCR setup. You can connect this system without having to reconnect the cords of your TV and VCR. Also, you don't have to connect a centre speaker to optimize the surround effects. Easy operation via the supplied remote ensures maximum enjoyment of the home-theatre sound this system provides.

Three different types of surround sound accommodate a variety of program sources

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) mode

Lets you enjoy superb theatre-like presence and surround effects in your home when playing back video software encoded with the Dolby Surround system.

HALL surround mode

Reproduce the acoustics of a rectangular concert hall. Ideal for soft, acoustic sounds, or giving an extra punch to debates and press conferences.

GAME surround mode

Obtain maximum audio impact from video game software.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound

The use of a centre speaker is a key factor in obtaining a full surround effect when playing sources encoded with the Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound system.

Centre speakers in a movie theatre make central sounds, such as dialogue, clearer and create a unified sound image.

Normally, you have to install a centre speaker separately, but this speaker system makes it easy to set up a high-performance home theatre system by incorporating a high-quality centre speaker system into the front speakers.

text_image Left speaker Right speaker Centre channel speakers Super woofer Rear speakers

How the centre speaker works

The front left and right speakers are equipped with centre channel tweeters (see above) angled inwards at 30^ to reproduce high-frequency centre channel sounds. Low-frequency centre channel sounds are mixed with the front channel signals and reproduced through the front left and right full range units. This design produces a high-quality centralized sound image for the centre channel which exactly matches the quality of the front channel sound to provide superior sound quality and a unified sound image without a cumbersome external centre speaker.

Dynamic Bass Roar (DBR) super woofer system provides theatre-like bass sound

To provide a theatre-like experience complete with dynamic bass sounds, this speaker system incorporates the Super Acoustically-loaded Woofer (SAW) design (see below) in the right front speaker to form a DBR super woofer system.

SONY SAVA10 - Dynamic Bass Roar (DBR) super woofer system provides theatre-like bass sound - 1

text_image Chamber Drive unit Duct

What is the SAW design?

The SAW design features a centrally-positioned woofer drive unit, two chamber construction, and a long duct. Through precision control of the acoustics of the two chambers, the unit can reproduce powerful ultra low frequencies without muddiness.

In addition, we also included two super woofer modes designed to bring the dynamic bass sounds found in movie theatres (mode 1) and concert halls (mode 2) to your living room.

Power turns on and off automatically

The speakers will turn on automatically when a sound signal is input and turn off when you've finished watching a program and the sound signal goes out. So you don't have to bother using the power switch every time you use the system.

Precautions

On safety

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

On power sources

  • Before operating the speakers, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the rear of the speakers.
  • The speakers are not disconnected from the AC power source as long as they are connected to the wall outlet, even if the speakers themselves have been turned off.
  • If you are not going to use the speakers for a long time, be sure to disconnect the speakers from the wall outlet. To disconnect the Mains lead, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
  • One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
  • AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

  • Do not place the speakers near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
  • Good ventilation is essential to prevent internal heat buildup. Place the speakers in a location with adequate air circulation, and in a way that does not block the rear ventilation holes.

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 question or problem concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Unpacking

Notes

  • Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
  • Do not use a new battery with an old one.
  • Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
  • If you don't use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

3 Make sure the anti-vibration pads are securely attached and stand the speaker upright.

Choosing the Best Location

To obtain high sound quality and a proper sound image from the front speakers, place the speaker with the built-in operation panel to the left of your TV and the other to the right of your TV so that the centre channel tweeters angle towards the centre of the room.

For the best central sound image, place the left and right speakers within 1.5 m of each other and equidistant from the TV.

The left and right speakers must be placed standing upright, laying them on their sides will defeat the centre channel surround effect.

Delay time

Time lag between the surround sound output from front speakers and rear speakers. By adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers, you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make the delay time longer when you have placed the rear speakers in a small room or close to your listening position, and make it shorter when you have placed them in a large room or apart from your listening position.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound standardized in TV programs and movies. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves sound image by using four separate channels: off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-to-right panning, and music. These channels manipulate the sound to be heard and enhance the action as it happens on the screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic, you should have at least one pair of rear speakers and/or one centre speaker. You also need to select the appropriate centre mode to enjoy a full effect.

Dolby Surround

Encoding and decoding system of Dolby Surround sound for consumer use. Dolby Surround decodes the extra channels on the Dolby Surround-encoded sound tracks of movie videos and TV programs and produces sound effects and echoes that make the action seem to envelop you.
