Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some
record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the
CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital
audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
Extremely hot or cold
Dusty or dirty
Very humid
Subject to vibrations
Subject to direct sunlight
• 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.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
Ti
p
When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see
“Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a Room” (page 78) and “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically”
(page 79).
Since the system is equipped with S-Force PRO Front Surround technology (page 105), you can enjoy surround
sound with the speaker positions illustrated above.
To obtain the S-Force PRO Front Surround, do all the following:
set [ALL FRONT] or [ALL FRONT - NO CENTER] in the [SPEAKER FORMATION] setting (page 78).
set the decoding mode to “A.F.D. MULTI” (page 31).
play a multi channel source.
set the sound mode (page 33) to “AUTO,” “MOVIE,” “MUSIC,” or “NEWS.”

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 center speaker 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.
