Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the apparatus with news papers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
And don’t place lighted candles on the apparatus.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
Don’t throw away the battery with general house waste, dispose of it correctly as chemical waste.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the Compact
AV System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing Sony Compact AV
System. Before operating this system, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1
LASER product. The label is located on the bottom of the unit.
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 AC power source (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.
Installing
• 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 and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
Precautions
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
• For power saving purposes, the system can be completely turned off by the " / 1 button on the system. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the system is completely off.
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.
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 questions or problems concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have colour irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the unit (HCD-SC8).
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen.
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.
When you carry the system, use the following procedure to protect the inner mechanism. Remove the disc, and then press and hold the x button on the system. After “MECHA LOCK” is displayed on the front panel display, remove the mains leads from a wall outlet.

GB
Note
Do not catch the speaker cable insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
Tip
Connect the speaker cable after bending the speaker wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker cable from being caught in the SPEAKER jack.
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and mains lead, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 68.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3 , and # to # . If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
14
GB
If you want to use a different speaker cable, you can detach the plug for attachment to another cable.
Catcher
With the catcher facing down, press and hold the plug down against a flat surface and remove the cords from plug.
While pressing the plug down against a flat surface, insert the new speaker cords.
Note that the cord marked with a line should be attached to the minus (-) side of the plug.
Note
Be careful not to damage the surface you use (desk, etc.) when attaching/detaching the speaker cords.
Tips
• You can use any commercially sold speaker cable of gauge cord AWG #18 - AWG #24.
• Before attaching a new cable, strip off 10 mm ( 13/32 in.) of its insulation and twist the bare wires of both cords.

Notes
• Do not connect the system to a VCR. If you pass video signals from the system via a VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen.
• If you cannot view the picture from a VCR through this system which is connected to a TV with RGB component jacks, set to t
(Audio/Video) on your TV. If you select (RGB), the TV cannot receive the signal from the VCR.
• If you want to use your VCR’s SmartLink function, connect the VCR to your TV’s SmartLink jack.
• The SmartLink function may not work properly if your VCR is connected to your TV via this system.
• The system does not output S video signals.
• When you select “DVD” by pressing FUNCTION (page 56), the video signal and RGB signal are not output from the VIDEO IN jacks. Also, the system cannot output the component video signal.
• When you select VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 by pressing FUNCTION (page 56), the audio signal from the AUDIO L/
R jack is output to the connected speakers. The audio signal is not output from the T EURO AV OUTPUT (TO
TV) jack.
Step 4: Connecting the Mains Leads
Before connecting the mains leads of this system and subwoofer to a wall outlet, connect the speakers to the system (see page 13).
Speaker Setup
For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (
A
).
However, this system allows you to place the centre speaker up to 1.6 metres closer ( B ) and the surround speakers up to 4.6 metres closer
(
C
) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 metres ( A ) from the listening position.
Place speakers as illustrated below
Note
Do not place the centre and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.
The subwoofer in this system is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the subwoofer is used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer at least 0.3 metre from the TV set. If it is installed too close, colour irregularity may occur on the screen. If colour irregularity occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set. If colour irregularity still occurs after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer.
Colour irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the distance of the speakers from your listening position, then set the level and balance.
Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and balance to the same level.
Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display. For details, see “Setting for the
Speakers” (page 66).

In collaboration with Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and Sony’s own DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital
Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theatre an ideal movie theatre sound environment based on the preference of the movie director.
Tip
When you want to output the TV sound or stereo sound of a 2 channel source from the 6 speakers of the system, select a sound field other than “AUTO FORMAT
DIRECT AUTO” or “2 CHANNEL STEREO”.
The auto decoding function automatically detects the type of audio signal being input
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation).
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.

This mode outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels.
This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following three elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers.
• Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theatre, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen.
• Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a movie theatre. Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.
Notes
• The virtual speaker effect may cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

Tip
The system memorizes the last soundfield selected for each function mode.
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to function is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, then change to another function, and then return to DVD,

Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features, such as station name display.
RDS is available only for FM stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same type of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides
RDS services, the station name * appears in the TUNER information.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, the station name may not appear in the display.

Glossary
Album
Section of a music piece or an image on a data
CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.
Chapter
Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters.
Dolby Digital
This movie theatre sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1,” with the subwoofer channel designated as the 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
x
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby
Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
x
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround,
Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby
Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a centre speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround.
This format comprises of stereo rear channels and a discrete subwoofer channel. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized due to all channel data being recorded discretely and processed digitaly.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. DVD also uses variable rate coding technology that processes allocated data according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
File
Section of a picture on a data CD containing
JPEG image files.
Film based software, Video based software
DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.
Multi-angle function
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback.
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on.
Region Code
This system is used to protect copyrights. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each region code is shown on the system as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play the discs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the “
ALL
” mark. Even when the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes.”

Super Audio CD
This audio format is based upon the current audio CD standards but includes a greater amount of information which provides higher quality sound. There are three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and
Super Audio CD information.
Title
The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software.
Track
Section of a picture or a music piece on a Super
Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3. An album is composed of several tracks (MP3 only).
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures.
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a
12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.
Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.
There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This system conforms to both versions.
