Place the main unit at a height close to ear-level in the listening area. When installing the main unit, use a stable surface to avoid accidents or injury. To Install on a Wall You can install the main unit on the wall. Before installation, see "CONNECTIONS" on page 12 and complete the wiring connections. 5 mm 10 mm4-5 mm600 mm

When the main unit is installed on a wall, its weight could cause the screws to come loose over time, or it may not be adequately supported by the wall, resulting in the unit falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the unit on is strong enough to support it. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls. If you are uncertain of the wall quality, consult a professional for an advice.

Sherwood is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation, misuse or modication of the product, or from natural disasters.

Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and that can support the weight of the unit. It is recommended to use 2 inch (50 mm) long screws.

The main unit is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the main unit is installed extremely close to the screen of the TV. If this happens, turn the main unit off, and turn it on after 15 minutes. If the problem persists, move the main unit further from the TV. CautionInstallation English

Installing the Remote Control Battery

Press inward to release the lock (1), and at the same time, slide the battery holder out of the remote control with your ngernail (2).

Place the "+" (top) side of the battery down into the battery holder.

Push the battery holder back into its original position.

If the battery is placed incorrectly, it can cause explosion.

Remove the battery if the remote control is not used for a long period of time.

Do not leave the product in a hot or humid place.

Do not handle and store the battery with metallic tools. Caution12 Connections Subwoofer Connection You can enjoy deep bass sounds by connecting an active subwoofer.

Do not place objects behind the subwoofer and block the ventilation ports.

Signal reception by the subwoofer may be unstable if it is placed too close to the main unit. In this case, separate the subwoofer at least 1 m from the main unit.

Signal reception by the subwoofer may be interrupted if an obstruction (metal door or concrete wall, aluminum covered insulation, etc.) is placed between it and the main unit. If this occurs, install the subwoofer in an uninterrupted line-of- sight orientation from the main unit. Caution Connecting to HDMI Components With HDMI, you can easily enjoy high quality sounds and images. The main unit plays audio from HDMI compatible products while also passing on the video signal to a HDMI- connected TV. HDMI TVBlu-ray Player Cable Box(RIGHT)(LEFT)Connections English

Conrming the HDMI control functions To use the HDMI control functions properly, it is recommended to conrm the HDMI control functions usable with each connected component by performing the following operations.

Turn on all the components connected with HDMI cables.

Turn the TV off to standby mode.

Conrm that all the components are turned off.

With all the components off, start playback of a device (connected with HDMI cable).

Conrm that all the components are turned on and the inputs of the main unit and TV are switched automatically. About HDmI HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specication. HDCP is used to protect the digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays. HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-denition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs. This main unit is also compatible with the DeepColor and x.v.Color feature (x.v.Color is trademarks of Sony Corporation.). HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Denition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.

Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component.

When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may be not output. In this case, check the specication of the connected component.

Regardless of which input is selected for the system, the video signal from the HDMI input jack (BD, DVD, SAT) that was last selected is output from the HDMI TV OUT jack. NoteS9/S7 3D Sound Soundbar

Connecting to Audio Components AUx Connection You can connect your audio devices to the unit and enjoy multichannel surround sound capabilities.

Ensure the left (L) and right (R) channels and the inputs and outputs are correctly connected.

To listen to the sound of a connected audio device, select AUX as the input source.

To listen to TV audio, select TV as the input source.

TV, DVD Player, etc. Optical Connection You can connect components equipped with an optical out jack. On the main unit, you can enjoy more plentifully the sound of components, such as DVD players, Satellite receiver/Cable boxes, BD (Blu-ray DiscTM) players or TVs.

TVs without an optical output jack cannot be connected to the unit. CautionConnections English

Connecting the FM Antenna (Only for S9) You can listen to FM radio by connecting the FM antenna to the FM terminal on the main unit. To strengthen the signal reception, extend the antenna to its full length. Power Connection Make sure to plug in after you have connected all your components to the main unit. Plug the supplied AC input cord into the AC inlet and then into the wall AC outlet.

The supplied AC adapter is designed exclusively for use with this unit. Do not attempt to use it with any device for which was not expressly designed, since res or shocks may occur.

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.

The system should be disconnected by removing the main plug from the wall socket when not in regular use for a long period of time. Caution16 Listening to Your System Basic Operation You can listen to audio by following the basic procedures below.

Selecting Surround Mode This system uses OPSODIS Technology, which generates spatial sound, without having to use walls to reect the sound. This creates the illusion of three-dimensional acoustics and enables you to experience the lm soundtrack and music with a power and intensity not previously achieved. However, the options available will depend on the type of source you’re listening to. The following modes provide basic surround sound for stereo and multichannel sources.

STEREO STEREO reproduces realistic sound through the front speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo with the aid of digital sound processing.

3D STEREO 3D STEREO produces more sound expansion through 2 channel audio system with the aid of Opsodis sound processing.

3D SURROUND 3D SURROUND enriches the sound reproduction quality of an 2 or 5.1 audio input source with the aid of virtual 5.1 channel 3D effects from speakers that surround the listener. If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be selected and appear in the display. With two channel sources, you can select from:

DOLBY Digital Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the Dolby Digital logo include the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals. This will put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

DTS DTS Digital Surround (also called simply DTS) supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high delity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs bearing the DTS logo.S9/S7 3D Sound Soundbar
