On your TV’s colour  
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.  
service shop.  
On placement  
• 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.  
The nameplate is located on the rear of the unit.  
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.  
• 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.  
On moving the system  
Before you move the system, remove the disc and turn  
off the power. The STANDBY indicator lights up in  
red and “STANDBY” blinks on and off in the front  
panel display momentarily and then stays lit. You can  
then unplug the mains lead. Do not unplug while  
“STANDBY” is blinking on and off.  
On operation  
• 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 discs. 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.  
On adjusting volume  
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.  
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 questions or problems concerning your  
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

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.  
To avoid 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 jack 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 mains lead, output a test tone to check that all the  
speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 62.  
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 TV screen, 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.

About magnetically shielded  
speakers (to prevent colour  
irregularity occurring on the TV  
screen)  
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  
center speaker up to 1.6 metres closer (B) and  
the surround speakers up to 4.6 metres closer  
(C) to the listening position.  
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.  
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to  
7.0 metres (A) from the listening position.  
Place speakers as illustrated below  
Examples of possible sources of magnetic  
interference include: magnetic latches on a TV  
stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.  
Specifying the speaker  
parameters  
Note  
Do not place the center and surround speakers farther  
away from the listening position than the front  
speakers.  
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 “Settings for the  
Speakers” (page 61).

developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel surround. This format comprises of  
stereo surround channel and a discrete  
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides  
the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality  
digital audio. Superior channel separation is  
realized due to all channel data being recorded  
discretely and processed digitally.  
Parental Control  
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the  
disc by the age of the viewers 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.  
DVD  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same as  
a CD.  
Playback Control (PBC)  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0)  
to control playback.  
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-  
sided 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.  
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  
ALL  
also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when  
the region code is not shown on the DVD, the  
region limit may still be activated.

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.
