On adjusting volume
Precautions
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 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.
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 power sources
AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
On placement
If you have any questions or problems concerning
your system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.
• 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.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On your TV’s color
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then
turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color
irregularity should persist, place the speakers
further away from the set.
• 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.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such
as a rug that might block the ventilation holes
on the bottom.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.
• 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.
• When you move the system, take out any discs.
If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
On carrying the system
When you carry the system, use the following
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
Remove the disc, and then press and hold the x
button on the system. After "MECHA LOCK" is
displayed on the front panel display, turn off the
system.
• 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.

Inserting Batteries into the Remote
You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by
matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When
using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the system.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• 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 colors
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 poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is
touching another speaker
terminal.
Stripped cords are touching
each other due to excessive
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 27.
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.
Note
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.

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, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5.0 feet) closer
(B) and the rear speakers up to 4.6 meters (15.0 feet) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 15.0 meters (3.0 to 50.0 feet) (A) from the
listening position.
You can place the rear speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your
room, etc.

About magnetically shielded speaker (to prevent color irregularity occurring on
the TV screen)
The subwoofer in this system is magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However,
some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the subwoofer is used with
a CRT-based TV or projector, install the subwoofer at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set,
etc. If it is installed too close, color irregularity may occur on the screen.
If color irregularity occurs…
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity occurs again…
Place the subwoofer farther away from the TV set.
If color irregularity still occurs after performing the above…
Make sure that no magnetic object is nearby the subwoofer. Color irregularity may occur as a
result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand,
etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.

Dolby Digital
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.

Example: E 61 10
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
precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, you should have one
pair of rear speakers and a center speaker.
The rear speakers output monaural sound.

The DVD also uses the variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the
picture.
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 II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-
bandwidth output channels from two-
channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround
decoder that extracts the spatial properties of
the original recording without adding any
new sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo
television shows and all programs encoded
in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the
quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Film based software, Video based
software
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames (or 60 fields) per second.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo
music recordings, and provides a wide and
deep sound space.
DTS
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.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
Multi-angle function
DVD
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video
camera, for a scene are recorded on some
DVDs.
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same
as a CD.
Multilingual function
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.
Several languages for the sound or subtitles
in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
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.

Parental Control
Scene
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.
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens,
moving pictures and still pictures are
divided into sections called “scenes.”
Super Audio CD
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.
Playback Control (PBC)
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 programs,
programmes with search functions, and so
on.
Title
The longest sections of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 30
frames (60 fields) in one second, the
Progressive format can show 60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This system
is compatible with the 480 progressive
format.
Track
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a
Super Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3.
An album is composed of several tracks
(MP3 only).
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.
Region Code
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.
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.
