Before performing the

network settings

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.

• The network name (SSID*) that

identifies your network**.

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.

x WEP

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,

WPA key)**.

SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that

identifies a particular wireless network.

x WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK

TKIP is a security technology developed in

response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP

assures a higher security level than WEP.

** 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:

Additional Information

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.

[Resetting]

x [Reset to Factory Default Settings]

You can reset the system settings to the

factory default by selecting the group of

settings. All the settings within the group

will be reset.

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.

x [Initialize Personal Information]

You can erase your personal information

stored in the system.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent heat

build-up in the system.

• Although the unit heats up during

operation, this is not a malfunction. If you

continuously use this unit 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 unit 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.

52^US

• 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.

• 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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

On adjusting volume

On moving the system

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.

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.

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.

53^US

• This 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.

• Bluetooth communication is not

necessarily guaranteed with all Bluetooth

devices that have the same profile as this

receiver.

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

– Locations where other electromagnetic

waves occur

• Bluetooth devices connected with this

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 unit, the

communications environment, or

surrounding conditions.

• 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

wirelessLANcapability, 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 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).

– Install this unit and Bluetooth device as

closer to each other as possible.

• The radio waves broadcast by this unit

may interfere with the operation of some

medical devices. Since this interference

may result in malfunction, always turn off

the power on this 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

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your system, please consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

General

The power does not turn on.

t Check that the AC power cord (mains

lead) is connected securely.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight

or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or

leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight

as the temperature may rise considerably

inside the car.

The remote control does not function.

t The distance between the remote

control and the unit is too far.

t The batteries in the remote control are
