A HDMI cable connection  
If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. This will provide better image  
quality compared to other types of connections.  
When connecting with an HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when performing  
the Easy Setup (page 29).  
For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 63).  
About Audio Return Channel  
If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also  
sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for  
listening to TV sound. For setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel]  
B Component video cable connection (for non-European/non-Saudi  
Arabian models)  
If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV with  
a component video cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using a video cord connection.  
When connecting with a component video cable, you need to select the type of output signal in the Easy  
Setup (page 29).  
C Video cord connection  
If your TV does not have an HDMI jack or a component video input jack, make this connection.  
D Digital optical cord connection  
This connection sends an audio signal to the system from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system,  
perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast  
signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.  
• You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 30).  
• If your TV does not have a digital optical output jack, you can connect the unit and your TV with an audio cord for  
listening to TV sound via the system. For connection details, see “Connecting the other components” (page 24).

(OUT) jack  
You can connect a component that has an HDMI (OUT) jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite  
®
receiver or PLAYSTATION 3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both  
video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can  
enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.

• Do not place the system in a place where medical  
equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of  
medical equipment.  
Additional Information  
Precautions  
On safety  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects  
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or  
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or  
shower room. 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.  
• 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 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.  
• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with  
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.  
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you  
do not, the disc may be damaged.  
On power sources  
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and  
have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) 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.  
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 suddenly played.  
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 slots by putting anything  
on the system. The system is equipped with a high  
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,  
the system can overheat and malfunction.  
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.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
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.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation slots.  
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as  
a bookshelf or similar unit.  
• 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.  
On replacement of parts  
• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired  
parts may be collected for reuse or recycling  
purposes.  
• 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.  
On your TV’s color  
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have  
color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after  
15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,  
place the speakers further away from the TV set.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the system.  
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel.  
They may limit reception of radio waves.

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.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
On moving the system  
• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains  
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).  
• 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.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
This system can only play a standard circular  
disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs  
(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a  
malfunction.  
Do not use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.

Troubleshooting  
If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting  
guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.  
In the event of a problem with the wireless sound function, have a Sony dealer check the entire system  
together (main unit and surround amplifier).
