Getting Started  
Step 1: Installing the System  
You can select from one of three positions for installing the main unit: in a vertical position, in a  
horizontal position, or on a wall. For details, see “Selecting the installation position of the main unit”  
You can also install the front speakers on a wall. For details, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation  
Guide.”  
How to position the system  
Install the system by referring to the illustration below.  
A Front speaker (L (left))  
B Front speaker (R (right))  
C Subwoofer  
D Main unit  
• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,  
oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.  
• Leave a space for inserting/ejecting the disc (approximately 15 cm) to the right (disc slot) side of the main unit when  
placing an object nearby.  
Approximately 15 cm  
• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.  
• Image distortion on the TV screen may occur depending on the location of the subwoofer. In this case, place the  
subwoofer away from the TV.  
• Do not block the ventilation openings of the main unit (page 10).  
• Place both front speakers the same distance apart from the listening position (A).  
• The front speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m apart.  
GB  
16  
   
• Place the front speakers forward from the TV. Make sure there are no obstacles in front of the speakers.  
• Both front speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.  
Note on handling the subwoofer  
Do not hold the subwoofer by the middle opening when lifting it. The speaker driver may be damaged.  
When lifting the subwoofer, hold it from the bottom.  
Opening  
• It is recommended to place the subwoofer on a hard floor.  
• You can place the subwoofer to the left or right of the main unit, facing the listening position.

Step 2: Connecting the System  
For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages.  
Do not connect the AC power cords (mains leads) of the main unit and subwoofer to a wall outlet  
(mains) until all the other connections are made.  
• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a  
level where sound is not distorted.

A HDMI cable connection  
If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with a High Speed HDMI cable. This will provide  
better image quality compared to other types of connections.  
When connecting with a High Speed HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when  
performing the Easy Setup (page 32).  
For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 65).  
About Audio Return Channel  
If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, a High Speed 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] (page 65).  
B Video cord connection  
If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, make this connection.  
C 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 33).

• 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 main 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 cords (mains leads) 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 main unit  
and have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• Unplug the main 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 openings by putting  
anything on the system. The system is equipped with  
a high power amplifier. If the ventilation openings are  
blocked, the system can overheat and malfunction.  
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,  
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may  
block the ventilation openings.  
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.  
• To remove fingerprints on the front panel of the main  
unit, wipe it with a slightly moistened, well-wrung  
soft cloth (BDV-L800 only).  
On cleaning discs, disc/lens  
cleaners  
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as  
a bookshelf or similar unit.  
• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners  
(including wet or spray types). These may cause  
the apparatus to malfunction.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
GB

On AC adapter  
• Use the supplied AC adapter (AC-BD100) for this  
player, as other adapters may cause a malfunction.  
• Do not disassemble or reverse-engineer.  
• Do not confine the AC adapter in a closed place such  
as a bookshelf or an AV cabinet.  
Notes about the Discs  
On handling discs  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not connect the AC adapter to a traveler’s electric  
transformer, which may generate heat and cause a  
malfunction.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.  
• Do not drop or apply shock.  
• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or  
splashing.  
• The appliance coupler/inlet shall be easily accessible  
and readily operable.  
• 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.  
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.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.

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 moving the system  
• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no  
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cords (mains  
leads) from the wall outlet (mains).  
• 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.
