• If anything falls into the cabinet,  
unplug the unit and have it  
checked by qualified personnel  
before operating it any further.  
• The unit is not disconnected from  
the mains as long as it is  
connected to the mains outlet,  
even if the unit itself has been  
turned off.  
Except for European models  
• Unplug the unit from the wall  
outlet 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.  
Installing  
• Do not install the appliance in a  
confined space, such as a bookcase  
or built-in cabinet.  
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.  
registered mark.  
• Allow adequate air circulation to  
prevent internal heat buildup.  
• Do not place the unit on surfaces  
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near  
materials (curtains, draperies) that  
may block the ventilation slots.  
• Do not install the unit near heat  
sources such as radiators, or air  
ducts, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust,  
mechanical vibration, or shock.  
• Do not install the unit in an  
inclined position. It is designed to  
be operated in a horizontal  
position only.  
As an ENERGY STAR® partner,  
Sony Corporation has  
determined that this product  
meets the ENERGY STAR®  
guidelines for energy efficiency.  
• Keep the unit and discs away from  
equipment with strong magnets,  
such as microwave ovens, or large  
loudspeakers.  
• Do not place heavy objects on the  
unit.  
• If the unit is brought directly from  
a cold to a warm location,  
moisture may condense inside the  
Compact AV System and cause

location, wait for about 30 minutes  
before operating the unit.

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  
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with  
this product will increase eye hazard.  
• 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  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony  
dealer.  
qualified service shop.  
On placement  
On cleaning discs  
Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD  
cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• Do not place the system in a location near heat  
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,  
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.  
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.  
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.

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

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 bad conditions of the speaker cord  
Exposed end speaker cord  
is touching another speaker  
terminal.  
Exposed end cords are  
touching each other due to  
sloppy 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 28.  
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.

the input audio signal (Auto  
Decoding)  
You can take advantage of surround sound  
simply by selecting one of the system’s pre-  
programmed sound fields. They bring the  
exciting and powerful sound of movie  
theaters and concert halls into your home.  
To select the sound field, press SOUND  
FIELD –/+ on the system or SOUND  
FIELD on the remote repeatedly until the  
sound field you want appears on the front  
panel display.

detects the type of audio signal being input  
(Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel  
stereo) and performs the proper decoding if  
necessary. This mode presents the sound as  
it was recorded/encoded, without adding any  
effects (e.g. reverberation).  
However, if there are no low frequency  
signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will  
generate a low frequency signal for output to  
the subwoofer.

About Cinema Studio EX  
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following  
three elements.  
• Virtual Multi Dimension  
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers  
surrounding the listener from a single pair  
of actual rear speakers.  
• Screen Depth Matching  
In a movie theater, sound seems to come  
from inside the image reflected on the  
movie screen. This element creates the  
same sensation in your listening room by  
shifting the sound of the front speakers  
“into” the screen.  
• Cinema Studio Reverberation  
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a  
movie theater.

• When listening with sound fields that employ the  
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any  
sound coming directly from the rear speakers.

N. SURROUND (Normal Surround)  
Software with multi channel surround audio  
signals is played back according to the way  
it was recorded. Software with 2 channel  
audio signals is decoded with Dolby Pro  
Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II to create  
surround effects (page 29).  
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or  
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to the  
function is automatically applied again. For example,  
if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field,  
then change to another function, and then return to  
DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner,  
sound fields are memorized separately for all preset  
stations.

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.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
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.  
continued79GB  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 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.  
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  
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video  
camera, for a scene are recorded on some  
DVDs.  
DVD  
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.  
Parental Control  
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.  
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.  
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,  
programs with search functions, and so on.  
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  
Progressive format  
A compact disc that contains moving  
pictures.  
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 player  
is compatible with the 480 progressive  
format.  
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.  
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.  
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  
Super Audio CD  
ALL  
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.  
with the “ ” mark. Even when the region  
code is not shown on the DVD, the region  
limit may still be activated.
