Before performing the
network settings
When your wireless LAN router (access

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
