you call upon your Sony dealer regarding this  
product.  
When connecting to an amplifier with internal multi  
channel decoders (Dolby Digital, DTS**, etc.), you should  
use the setup menus for the amplifier to specify the  
parameters of your speaker system.  
See the table below for the proper settings. For details on  
the setting procedure, refer to the manual that was  
provided with your amplifier.  
Select Micro Satellite Position if a Sony amplifier  
provides it.  
The SA-VE345 is a 5.1 channel speaker system consisting  
of two front speakers, two surround speakers, one center  
speaker, and one subwoofer. It supports Sony Digital  
Cinema Sound, Dolby* Pro Logic, and Dolby Digital etc.,  
and is thus geared towards the enjoyment of movies.  
Connect the speaker system to the speaker output  
terminals of an amplifier.  
Make sure power to all components (included the  
subwoofer) is turned off before starting the hook-up.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source  
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,  
even if the unit itself has been turned off.  
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to be  
used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the  
cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull  
the cord itself.  
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system,  
unplug the system’s power cord and have the system  
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any  
further.  
• Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on  
the speakers are matched to the corresponding plus (+)  
and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.  
• Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals  
securely as loose screws may become a source of noise.  
• Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between  
bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause  
a short-circuit.

• Some amplifier functions for enhancing the sound may  
cause distortion in the subwoofer. If such distortion  
occurs, turn off those functions.  
• To enjoy high-quality sound, do not turn the  
subwoofer volume too high.  
• The bass sound is enhanced in MOVIE mode rather  
than in MUSIC mode. Therefore, if you change the  
mode to MOVIE while listening to some sources that  
do not include the bass sound, you may not be able to  
get the effect.

Should you encounter a problem with your speaker  
system, check the following list and take the indicated  
measures. If the problem persists, consult your nearest  
Sony dealer.  
• If the polarity of the speaker connections are not  
correct, the bass tones will be weak and the position of  
the various instruments obscure.  
• Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker  
terminals may result in a short-circuit.  
• Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to avoid  
damaging the speaker system.  
• The speaker grille cannot be removed. Do not attempt  
to remove the grille on the speaker system. If you try  
to remove it, you may damage the speaker.

Each speaker should face the listening position. Better  
surround effect will result if all speakers are set at the  
same distance from the listening position.  
Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to the left  
and right of the television.  
Place the subwoofer on either side of the television.  
Place the center speaker on the top-center of the TV set.  
The placement of surround speakers greatly depends on  
the configuration of the room. The surround speakers  
may be placed on both sides of the listening position A  
or behind the listening position B.  
Listening to the sound (I)  
There is no sound from the speaker system.  
Make sure all the connections have been  
correctly made.  
Make sure the volume on the amplifier has

Make sure the program source selector on the  
amplifier is set to the proper source.  
First, turn down the volume on the amplifier. The  
volume should be set to minimum before you begin  
playing the program source.
