Notes
Use screws that are suitable for the wall material
and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially
fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and
fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.
Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the
wall material or screws to be used.
Sony is not responsible for accident or damage
caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural
calamity, etc.

Notes on HDMI connections
Use a HDMI cable with the HDMI logo
(made by Sony).
An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack
is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any
other audio jacks.
Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.
When you want to listen to the sound from
the TV speaker, set “AUDIO FOR HDMI”
to “TV+AMP” in the VIDEO menu (page
40). If you cannot play back multi channel
software, set to “AMP”. However, the sound
will not output from the TV speaker.
The multi/stereo area audio signals of a
Super Audio CD are not output.
Be sure to turn on the receiver when the
video and audio of a playback component
are being output to a TV via the receiver. If
the power supply of the receiver is not turned
on, neither video nor audio is transmitted.
Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency or the number of
channels of audio output signals from the
playback component is switched.
When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM
only with an HDMI connection.
Set the resolution of the image of the
playback component to 720p, 1080i or
1080p when you output 96 kHz multi
channel sound over a HDMI connection.
We do not recommend using a HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect a
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output.
You may need to make certain settings on
the image resolution of the player before you
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer
to the operating instructions of the player.
For details on HDMI setup of the connected
component, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the connected
component.
