The system has built-in Wi-Fi, and you  
can connect the system to the network by  
making the network settings.  
• If you use other than a wireless LAN  
Use a LAN cable to connect to the LAN

Before performing the  
network settings  
When your wireless LAN router (access  
point) is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-  
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.

TKIP is a security technology developed in  
response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP  
assures a higher security level than WEP.  
** You need to check the settings of your wireless  
LAN router to get the information about SSID  
and security key. For details:  
– visit the following website:

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.  
52US  
                   
• 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

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
