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.

When disconnecting the mains

leads, do not touch the metallic part

of the jacks or plugs.

Do not put any object into the holes

on the set (fan ventilation holes,

jacks, etc.). Electric shock may

result.

On power sources

• The system is not disconnected

from the AC power source (mains)

as long as it is connected to the

wall outlet, even if the system

itself has been turned off.

• 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.

• Do not disconnect the AC power

cord (mains lead) while the system

is in use.

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 system in a confined

space where ventilation is poor as

this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation holes

for the cooling fan by putting

anything on the system. The

system is equipped with a high

power amplifier. If the ventilation

holes are blocked, the system can

overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on a soft

surface such as a rug that might

block the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the system in a

confined space, such as a bookcase

or built-in cabinet.

Hookups and Settings

A Wiring the speakers

Connect the supplied speakers to the SPEAKER

jacks on the bottom side of the subwoofer using

the speaker cords.

Use the speaker cord whose tube is the same

colour as the jack label on the connecting speaker.

Notes

• Cover the floor with a cloth when connecting.

• Be sure to match the polarity of the speaker cord and

the terminal on the component; 3 to 3 (grey), # to #

(black). If reversed, the sound will lack bass and may

be distorted.

Notes on speaker cord treatment

• Do not insert the speaker cord insulation in the

speaker terminals. Bend the stripped cord at the

end of the insulation before connecting.

• To prevent short-circuiting of the speakers,

make sure the stripped speaker cord does not

touch the other stripped speaker cord or the

terminal.

Example:

After connecting the system components and the

mains leads, you can check for a speaker short-

circuit using the test tone (page 94). If the test tone

is not output, or is output from a speaker other than

indicated in the centre unit display, check the

speaker connection.

B Connecting the subwoofer and

the centre unit

Connect the system cord of the centre unit to the

SYSTEM CONTROL jack of the subwoofer,

then, connect the speaker cord to the CENTER

SPEAKER jack. Insert the plugs fully until they

click.

Note

If the system cord is disconnected while the power is on,

the speaker system enters standby mode (page 101).

Positioning the speakers

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

centre unit up to 1.6 m closer ( ) and the B

surround speakers up to 4.6 m closer (C) to the

listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 m

(A) from the listening position.

Note

Do not place the centre unit and surround speakers

farther away from the listening position than the front

speakers.

Note on subwoofer placement

If the subwoofer is placed too close to a CRT TV

or projector, magnetic leakage may interfere with

the video signals and cause colour irregularity.

Should this happen, turn off the TV or the

projector, wait for 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn

it on again. If the problem persists, try the

following:

– Place the subwoofer at least 0.3 m away from the

TV or the projector.

– Remove any magnetic object near the subwoofer

(healthcare devices, toys, etc.). Magnetic latches

on TV stands may also cause the problem.

To install the speakers on a wall

1Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable

for the hole on the back of each speaker.

2Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm.

3Hang the speakers on the screws.

Notes

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and

strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile,

attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to

the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical, flat wall

where reinforcement is applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall

material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused

by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or

improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Step 3: Connecting the FM/

AM Aerials

zHints

• When connecting the AM loop aerial, cord (A) or cord

(B) can be connected to either terminal.

• If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohm coaxial

cable (not supplied) to connect the system to an

outdoor FM aerial as shown below.

Notes

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop aerial away

from the system and other equipment.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire aerial.

• After connecting the FM wire aerial, keep it as

horizontal as possible.

About MP3 audio tracks

MP3 is audio compression technology that

satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations.

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-

Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio

Layer 3) format. However, the discs must be

recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2,

About JPEG image files

JPEG is image compression technology.

You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-

Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in JPEG format. However,

the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660

Level 1, Level 2, or Joliet format for the recorder

to recognize the files.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.

See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/

CD-RW drives and the recording software (not

supplied) for details on the recording format.

zHints

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the

files, the files will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start

playback, it is recommended that you create folders

with no more than two trees.

Notes

• The recorder can only play files with the extension

“.JPG.”

• The recorder can recognize up to a total number of 999

folders and files in a disc. The recorder may not

recognize some discs depending on the recording

device used for recording or the disc condition.

• Depending on the disc or the size of image files,

playback may take some time to start.

• The image size that the recorder can display is limited

to 8192 × 7680 pixels.

• Progressive and lossless compression JPEG image files

are not supported.

DVD Edit

Before Editing

This recorder offers various edit options for

various disc and title types. Before you edit, check

these types and select an available option.

Notes

• You may lose edited contents if you remove the disc

while editing.

• Finish editing and recording before finalizing. No more

editing or recording can be made on a finalized disc.

• If a message appears and indicates that the disc’s

control information is full, erase unnecessary titles.

Edits for Video mode titles/original

titles

For Video mode titles on DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs

(Video mode)/DVD+Rs/ DVD-Rs, and original

titles on DVD-RWs (VR mode), the recorder edits

actual recordings on the disc. You cannot undo

any edits you make, and the original contents will

be consequently lost.

zHint

When using a DVD-RW (VR mode), you can keep the

original contents by editing a Playlist (see “Edits for

Playlist titles” below).

To free up disc space (DVD+RW/DVD-RW (VR

mode)/DVD-RW (Video mode) only)

You can utilize disc capacity by erasing Video

mode or original titles. The effect differs

depending on the disc type and location of the title,

as follows.

Note

For DVD+RWs and DVD-RWs (VR mode), the disc’s

available capacity may not display correctly. The

recorder displays only the available capacity after the last

title on the disc.

Edits for Playlist titles

For DVD-RWs (VR mode), you can edit a Playlist

while retaining original titles (actual recordings on

the disc). A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles

created from the original title for editing purposes.

When you create a Playlist, only the control

information necessary for playback, such as the

playback order, is stored on the disc. Since the

original titles are left unaltered, Playlist titles can

be re-edited.

Example: You have recorded the final few

matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW

(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the

goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want

to keep the original recording.
