* To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the bottom face of the speakers.

Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two Size AA (R6) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the system.

Note

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

Connect the supplied speaker system using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the jacks to those of the cords. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied with this system.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.) on

page 67.

Note

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.

• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:

– Extremely hot or cold

– Dusty or dirty

– Very humid

– Subject to vibrations

– Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

To connect the speaker cords

Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.

Note

• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers

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 terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the 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 AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to

check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 69.

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 on the Setup 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.

Installing the speakers on the wall

Note

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Step 2: Antenna (Aerial) Hookup

Connect the supplied AM/FM antennas (aerials) for listening to the radio.

AM loop antenna (aerial)

FM wire antenna (aerial)

Note

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna (aerial) away from the system and other components.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial).

• After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.

Tip

• When you connect the supplied AM loop antenna (aerial), cord (A) or cord (B) can be connected to either terminal.

Speaker Setup

Positioning the speakers

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 center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

7.0 meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.

Place speakers as illustrated below.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the system.

Note

• Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front and center speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
