Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the Sound Bar or the subwoofer, as you may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the
Sound Bar.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (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 (mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the
Sound Bar that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
• If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. In this case, place the system away from the TV,
VCR, or tape deck.
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
• Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners of the Sound Bar or the subwoofer.
On operation
Before connecting other equipment, be sure to turn off and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
Color irregularities may be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the system further away from the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. 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 system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Bluetooth wireless
technology
Bluetooth
wireless technology is a shortrange wireless technology linking digital devices, such as personal computers and digital cameras. Using the Bluetooth wireless technology, you can operate the units involved within a range of about 10 meters.
The Bluetooth wireless technology is commonly used between two devices, but a single device can be connected to multiple devices.
You do not need wires to get connected as you do with a USB connection, and you do not need to place the devices face to face as you do with wireless infrared technology. You can use the technology with one Bluetooth device in your bag or pocket.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a global standard supported by thousands of companies. These companies produce products that meet the global standard.
Supported Bluetooth version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various Bluetooth product capabilities. This system supports the following Bluetooth version and profiles.
Supported Bluetooth version:
Bluetooth Standard version 2.1 + EDR
(Enhanced Data Rate)
Supported Bluetooth profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile)
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control
Profile)
continued
5
GB
Notes
• For you to use the Bluetooth function, the
Bluetooth device to be connected must support the same profile as this system. Even if the device supports the same profile, the functions may differ because of the specifications of the Bluetooth device.
• The audio playback on this system may be delayed from that on the Bluetooth device because of the characteristics of the
Bluetooth wireless technology.
Effective communication range
Bluetooth devices should be used within approximately 10 meters (unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication range may become shorter under the following conditions.
• When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between the devices with a Bluetooth connection
• Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
• Around microwave ovens that are in use
• Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur
Effects of other devices
Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your
Bluetooth device near a device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may occur.
This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:
• Try connecting this system and
Bluetooth mobile phone or Bluetooth device when you are at least 10 meters away from the wireless LAN equipment.
• Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your Bluetooth device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this system may interfere with the operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result in malfunction, always turn off the power on this system,
Bluetooth mobile phone and Bluetooth device in the following locations:
• In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place where flammable gasses may be present
• Near automatic doors or fire alarms
Notes
• This system supports security functions that comply with the Bluetooth specification as a means of ensuring security during communication using Bluetooth technology.
However, this security may be insufficient depending on the setting contents and other factors, so always be careful when performing communication using Bluetooth technology.
• Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting from information leaks during communication using Bluetooth technology.
• Bluetooth communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all Bluetooth devices that have the same profile as this system.
• Bluetooth devices connected with this system must comply with the Bluetooth specification prescribed by the Bluetooth
SIG, Inc., and must be certified to comply.
However, even when a device complies with the Bluetooth specification, there may be cases where the characteristics or specifications of the Bluetooth device make it impossible to connect, or may result in different control methods, display or operation.
• Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the Bluetooth device
