Installing the surround

speakers in rear position

(Speaker layout: [Standard])

Installing all speakers in

front position

(Speaker layout: [All Front])

• Be sure to select the speakers layout setting

(page 35) according to your speakers

placement.

• 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 lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall

down.

• The speakers of this system are not magnetically

shielded. This may result in color irregularity

when they are placed near a CRT TV or

projector.

In order to output more effective sound when [All

Front] setting is selected, we recommend you to

install your front speakers and surround speakers

closer to each other.

Getting Started

Speakers can be placed on a flat surface or

installed on walls (page 14). You may

position the speakers at different angles to

achieve optimum sound quality.

Before you install the front speakers, center

speaker and surround speakers, be sure to

attach the supplied foot pads as shown in

the illustration below. This prevents

vibration or movement and reduce

scratches.

You can attach the foot pads on either side of the

two mirrored surface.

You can install your speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on

the back of each speaker. See

the illustrations below.

2 Fasten the screws to the wall,

then hang the speaker on the

screws.

Getting Started

• You may install your speaker at different angles

to achieve optimum sound quality (page 14).

• 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.

Step 2: Connecting the

System

Do not connect the AC power cord (mains

lead) of the main unit to a wall outlet

(mains) until all the other connections are

made.

When you connect other equipment with a

volume control, turn down the volume of the

equipment to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connect the speaker cords to match the

color of the SPEAKERS jacks of the main

unit. Be sure to insert the speaker connector

until it clicks.

Be sure to connect the speaker cords to the front

and surround speakers.

“HDMI1” or “HDMI2” function is selected.

• To output an audio signal from the HDMI IN (1/2) jacks to the HDMI OUT jack, you may need to

change the audio output setting. For details, see [Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] (page 40).

to [Off] (page 41).

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.**

• If security is set on your wireless

network, the security key (WEP key,

WPA key).**

identifies a particular wireless network.

** You need to check the settings of your wireless

LAN router to get the information about SSID

and security key. For details:

About wireless LAN

security

Since communication via the wireless LAN

function is established by radio waves, the

wireless signal may be susceptible to

interception. To protect wireless

communication, this system supports

various security functions. Be sure to

correctly configure the security settings in

accordance with your network

environment.

x No Security

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.
