x No Security
Before performing the network
settings
Although you can easily make settings,
anyone can intercept wireless
communication or intrude into your
wireless network, even without any
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that
there is a risk of unauthorized access or
interception of data.
When your wireless LAN router (access
point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-
compatible, you can easily set the
network settings with the WPS button.
If not, check the following information in
advance, and record it in the space
provided below.
x WEP
• The network name (SSID*) that
identifies your network.**
WEP applies security to
communications to prevent outsiders
from intercepting communications or
intruding into your wireless network.
WEP is a legacy security technology that
enables older devices which do not
support TKIP/AES to be connected.
• If security is set on your wireless
network, the security key (WEP key,

TKIP is a security technology developed
in response to the deficiencies of WEP.
TKIP assures a higher security level than

** You need to check the settings of your
wireless LAN router to get the
information about SSID and security key.
For details:
– visit the following website:

About wireless LAN security
Step 4: Setting up the
Wireless System
Since communication via the wireless
LAN function is established by radio
waves, the wireless signal may be
susceptible to interception. To protect
wireless communication, this system
supports various security functions. Be
sure to correctly configure the security
settings in accordance with your
network environment.

Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the system
and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
• Do not touch the AC power cord
(mains lead) with wet hands. Doing so
may cause an electric shock.
x [Initialize Personal Information]
You can erase your personal
information stored in the system.
Note
If you dispose, transfer or resell this
system, please delete all Personal
Information for security purposes. Please
take the appropriate measures such as
logging out after using a network service.
On power sources
If you are not going to use the system
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the system from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the system.
• Although the system heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If
you continuously use this system at a
large volume, the cabinet temperature
of the top, side and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• Do not place the system on a soft
surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) that
might block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the system near heat
sources such as radiators, air ducts, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration,
or shock.
• Do not install the system in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated
in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the system and discs away from
components with strong magnets,
such as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
system.
• Do not place metal objects in front of
the front panel. It may limit reception
of radio waves.
• Do not place the system in a place
where medical equipment is in use. It
may cause a malfunction of medical
equipment.
On cleaning discs, disc/lens
cleaners
Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens
cleaners (including wet or spray
types). These may cause the
apparatus to malfunction.
On replacement of parts
In the events that this system is
repaired, repaired parts may be retained
for reuse or recycling purposes.
On your TV’s color
• If you use a pacemaker or other
medical device, consult your physician
or the manufacturer of your medical
device before using the wireless LAN
function.
If the speakers cause the color
irregularity on your TV screen, turn off
the TV then turn it on after 15 to
30 minutes. If color irregularity persist,
place the speakers further away from
the TV set.
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 main
unit. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of
holding a still video image or
on-screen display image on your TV
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 TV
screen. Plasma display panel
televisions and projection televisions
are susceptible to this.
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 moving the system
Before moving the system, make sure
that there is no disc inserted, and
disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).
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.

• This main unit supports security
functions that comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification to ensure
secure connection 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.
On BLUETOOTH communication
• BLUETOOTH devices should be used
within approximately 10 meters
(33 feet) (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
• BLUETOOTH communication is not
necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the
same profile as this main unit.
– Locations where other
electromagnetic waves occur
• 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:
– Use this main unit at least 10 meters
(33 feet) away from the wireless LAN
device.
– Turn off the power to the wireless
LAN equipment when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters
(33 feet).
• BLUETOOTH devices connected with
this main unit 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 connected with this main unit,
the communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.
– Install this main unit and
BLUETOOTH device as closer to each
other as possible.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your system, please consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
• The radio waves broadcast by this
main unit may interfere with the
operation of some medical devices.
Since this interference may result in
malfunction, always turn off the power
on this main unit 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
