Welcome!  
Thank you for purchasing this Sony  
Compact AV System. Before  
operating this system, please read  
this manual thoroughly and retain it  
for future reference.  
Installing  
Precautions  
Safety  
• Do not install the appliance in a  
confined space, such as a bookcase  
or built-in cabinet.  
• If anything falls into the cabinet,  
unplug the unit and have it  
checked by qualified personnel  
before operating it any further.  
• The unit is not disconnected from  
the mains as long as it is  
connected to the mains outlet,  
even if the unit itself has been  
turned off.  
• 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.  
• Allow adequate air circulation to  
prevent internal heat buildup.  
• 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 heavy objects on the  
unit.  
• If the unit is brought directly from  
a cold to a warm location,  
moisture may condense inside the  
Compact AV 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.

• When you move the system, take out any discs.  
If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.  
Precautions  
• For power saving purposes, the system can be  
completely turned off by the POWER button on  
the main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a  
while, the system is completely off.  
On safety  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with  
this product will increase eye hazard.  
• 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.  
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 played.  
On power sources  
On cleaning  
• 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.  
• AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
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.  
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.  
On cleaning discs  
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD  
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.  
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  
further away from the set.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.

Playing unit  
The disc changer consists of a playing  
unit, trays which hold the discs, and a  
stocker which transports the discs on  
their trays to the disc slot and the  
playing unit.  
For example, if you press DISC 3, the  
stocker moves until the DISC 3 tray  
comes to the position of the playing unit  
and then moves the DISC 3 tray over the  
playing unit. If you press A of DISC 4  
while playing DISC 3, the stocker leaves  
the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit,  
moves so that the DISC 4 tray comes to  
the position of the disc cover, opens the  
disc cover and pushes out the DISC 4  
tray (EXCHANGE mechanism).  
Note  
Noise may come from the disc changer when  
changing discs or turning the system on and off.  
However, this is just noise produced by the  
operation of the internal mechanisms and does  
not indicate a malfunction.

• 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 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 colours  
of the terminals 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 25.

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 terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.  
Examples of bad conditions of the speaker cord  
Exposed end speaker cord  
is touching another speaker  
terminal.  
Exposed end cords are  
touching each other due to  
sloppy 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 28.  
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 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 be distorted and will lack bass.  
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output  
on the speakers.

three video cords (not supplied) of the same kind and length. You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high  
quality images.  
Notes  
• When you select VIDEO 1 using the FUNCTION button, the signal is output from the front L/R speakers, but not  
from the VIDEO 1 VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT L/R jacks.  
• When you use the Video 1 line outputs, please set the unit to 2CH STEREO mode. If the unit is not in 2CH  
STEREO mode, the line outputs may not function properly.

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, if necessary, this system allows you to place the centre speaker up to 1.6 meters (5  
feet) closer (B) and the rear speakers up to 4.6 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening  
position.  
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 15.0 meters (3 to 50 feet) (A) from the listening  
position.  
You can place the subwoofer in any position.  
You can place the rear speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your  
room, etc.

Glossary  
Bit rate  
Value indicating the amount of video data  
compressed in a DVD per second. The unit  
is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps  
indicates that the data per second is  
1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the  
larger the amount of data. However, this  
does not always mean that you can get  
higher quality pictures.  
When the self-diagnosis function is  
activated to prevent the system from  
malfunctioning. In this case a five-character  
service number (e.g., C 13 00) with a  
combination of a letter and digits appears on  
the screen and the front panel display. Refer  
to the following table.

This sound format for movie theaters is  
more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic  
Surround. In this format, the rear 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” because the  
subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel  
(since it functions only when a deep bass  
effect is needed). All six channels in this  
format are recorded separately to realize  
superior channel separation. Furthermore,  
since all the signals are processed digitally,  
less signal degradation occurs.

The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital  
as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy  
more real audio presence.  
Furthermore, various advanced functions  
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and  
Parental Control functions are provided with  
the DVD.  
Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
As one method of decoding Dolby  
Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
produces four channels from two-channel  
sound. Compared with the former Dolby  
Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
reproduces left-to-right panning more  
naturally and localizes sounds more  
Multi-angle function  
precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby  
Pro Logic Surround, you should have one  
pair of rear speakers and a centre speaker.  
The rear speakers output monaural sound.  
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video  
camera, for a scene are recorded on some  
DVDs.  
Multilingual function  
DTS  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles  
in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.  
Digital audio compression technology that  
the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.  
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel  
surround. The rear channel is stereo and  
there is discrete subwoofer channel in this  
format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete  
channels of high quality digital audio. The  
good channel separation is realized because  
the all channel data is recorded discrete and  
processed in digital.  
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.  
DVD  
Playback Control (PBC)  
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving  
pictures even though its diameter is the same  
as a CD.  
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version  
2.0) to control playback.  
By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO  
CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy  
playing simple interactive programmes,  
programmes with search functions, and so  
on.  
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.  
Region Code  
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format,  
one of the worldwide standards of digital  
compression technology. The picture data is  
compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.  
The DVD also uses the variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be  
allocated according to the status of the  
picture.  
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 also play discs  
ALL  
with the “ ” mark. Even when the region  
code is not shown on the DVD, the region  
limit may still be activated.

Title  
The longest sections of a picture or a music  
piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture  
piece on video software; or an album, etc.,  
for a music piece on an audio software.  
Each title is assigned a title number enabling  
you to locate the title you want.  
Track  
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a  
CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a  
track number enabling you to locate the  
track you want.  
VIDEO CD  
A compact disc that contains moving  
pictures.  
The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format,  
one of the worldwide standards 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 the 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.  
Super Audio CD (SACD)  
This audio format is based upon the current  
audio CD standards but includes a greater  
amount of information which provides  
higher quality sound. There are three types  
of discs: single layer, double layer and  
hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both  
standard audio CD and Super Audio CD  
information.
