Precautions
Welcome!
Safety
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
Thank you for purchasing Sony DVD Home
Theatre System. Before operating this system,
please read this manual thoroughly and retain it
for future reference.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet (mains), even if the unit itself has been turned
off.
Precautions
• 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.
On power sources

On placement
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up.
• 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 cooling fan or ventilation slots by
putting anything on the system. The system is
equipped with a high power amplifier. If the cooling
fan or ventilation slots are blocked, the unit can
overheat and malfunction.
• 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 the system in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside the DVD
Home Theatre 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.
• Do not place anything around the rear of the
subwoofer as air pressure from the subwoofer’s duct
may knock it down.
• Do not insert anything into the rear openings of the
control unit or subwoofer. This may cause electric
shock or injury.

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 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 93.
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.
Notes
• 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.
• If you connect the speaker cord incorrectly or turn up the volume in a state of a short circuit, the standby indicator
flashes and the system enters standby mode. In this case, disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains), and then turn the system on.
• If you connect the speaker cord to the surround amplifier incorrectly, or turn up the volume in a state of a short
circuit, the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns off. In this case, disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the
surround amplifier from the wall outlet (mains), reconnect, and then turn the surround amplifier on.

About magnetically shielded
speakers (to prevent color
irregularity occurring on the TV
screen)
Speaker Setup
Positioning the 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 meter (1ft) from the TV
set. If it is installed too close, color irregularity
may occur on the screen. If color irregularity
occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on
after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity
occurs again, place the subwoofer farther away
from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs
after performing the above, make sure that no
magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer.
Color irregularity may occur as a result of
interaction between the subwoofer and the
magnetic object.
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 4.6 meters (15
ft) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0
meters (3 to 23 ft) (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
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”
Note
Do not place the center and surround speakers farther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers.

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).
This mode outputs the sound from the front left

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.
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low

Digital Infrared Audio Transmission
Recent times have been witness to the rapid

Dolby Digital
DTS
This movie theater 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.
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 digitally.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same as
a CD.
Dolby Digital EX
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.
An enhanced compatible format of Dolby
Digital 5.1, developed by Dolby Laboratories
and Lucasfilm THX, which can be used for
6.1(three surround speakers) channel playback,
using matrix encoding.
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 sound field
directionality that approaches the quality of
discrete 5.1-channel sound.
DVD-RW
x Music mode
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc
that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The
DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode
and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video
mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO,
while discs created in VR (Video Recording)
mode allow the contents to be programmed or
edited.
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 center speaker. The
surround speakers output monaural sound.

Progressive format
(sequential scanning)
DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video

same images (24 frames per second) that are
shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs,
such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays
images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.
In contrast to the Interlace format, the
progressive format can reproduce 60 frames per
second by reproducing all scanning lines (525
lines for the NTSC system). The overall picture
quality increases and still images, text and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is
compatible with the 525 progressive format.

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control)
functions, the menu screens, moving pictures
and still pictures are divided into sections called
“scenes.”
Multi-angle function
Various angles of a scene, or viewpoints of the
video camera are recorded on some DVDs.
Super Audio CD
A Super Audio CD disc can reproduce sounds
that are extremely faithful to the original sound
by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
technology. This technology utilizes a sampling
frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is 64 times that
of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that
enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of
information that a standard PCM format CD can
hold. Super Audio CDs are divided into the
following types.
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.
