Attaching the speaker pads

Before connecting the center speaker and rear

speakers, stick the supplied speaker pads to the

bottom of the center speaker and rear speakers to

stabilize the speakers and prevent them from

slipping.

Positioning the speakers

We recommend to place the system as follows:

When placing the speakers on top of the sub

woofer and the main unit, be sure to place the

foot of the speakers to fit in the hollows on top

of the sub woofer and the main unit.

Notes

• Keep the speaker cords away from the antennas to

prevent noise.

• Do not place the rear speakers on top of a TV. This

may cause color distortion in the TV screen.

• Be sure to connect both rear left and right speakers.

Otherwise, the sound will not be heard.

to the VIDEO OUT jack with the video

cable.

When using a TV

Turn on the TV and select the video input so you can

view the pictures from this system.

Tips

• For even higher quality video images;

– Use an optional component video cable to connect

the COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks on your

TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of

this system. If your TV is compatible with

progressive format file signals, use this connection

and set “COMPONENT OUT” to

“PROGRESSIVE” in “SCREEN SETUP”

(page 34).

– Use an optional S-video cable to connect the S

VIDEO input jack on your TV to the S VIDEO

OUT jack of this system.

• If you connect a video deck between this unit and the

TV, you may experience video leakage when

watching the video signal from this unit. Do not

connect a video deck between this unit and the TV.

setting to “R. C. WIRELESS” in AMP

MENU (page 20).

Note

No sound is output from the rear speakers when

the connection setting is set to “R. C. WIRED”

(page 20).

Notes

• Do not install the IR receiver in a place exposed to

direct sunlight or strong light such as an incandescent

lamp.

• Do not use the IR transmitter or IR receiver that is not

supplied with the system.

• Make sure you set “R. C. WIRELESS” when using

wireless setting or “R. C. WIRED” when using wired

setting. If you do not set the proper setting, no sound

is output from the rear speakers. For details, see

“Specifying distance, position, height and

connection method of the speakers” (page 20).

Setting the wireless speaker

system

After connecting the speakers, rear amplifier, IR

transmitter, IR receiver and the AC power cords,

adjust the wireless system for good

transmission.

1 Press ?/1 on the system and POWER

on the rear amplifier.

The system and rear amplifier turn on and

the ON/STANDBY indicator on the rear

amplifier lights up in red.

2 Place the IR transmitter and IR receiver

to face each other.

Adjust the position of the IR transmitter and

IR receiver until the ON/STANDBY and

ON LINE indicators on the rear amplifier

turn green.

Notes

• Make sure that there is no obstruction such as a

person or object between the IR transmitter and IR

receiver. Otherwise, the sound from the rear speakers

may be interrupted.

• If the ON LINE indicator on the rear amplifier lights

up in red, the transmission is incompleted. Adjust the

position of the IR transmitter and IR receiver until

the ON/STANDBY and ON LINE indicators on the

rear amplifier light up in green.

• If the ON/STANDBY indicator on the rear amplifier

flashes in red, it means that the IR receiver is

receiving signals from a different Sony infrared

system. In this case, turn off the other system or

move the IR receiver so that the ON/STANDBY

indicator on the rear amplifier lights up in green.

• The LED of the IR transmitter does not turn off while

the system is on. This is not a malfunction. To turn

off the LED of the IR transmitter, set the system to

Power Saving Mode (page 59).

Tip

The IR transmitter stand can be rotated for the

adjustment.

Example of installation

Position the IR transmitter and IR receiver

facing each other as shown below.

Make sure that there are no obstacles between

Installing the IR transmitter

and IR receiver on a wall

We recommend that you install the IR

transmitter and IR receiver on a wall when:

– There are obstacles between the IR

transmitter and IR receiver.

– people often move between the IR transmitter

and IR receiver.

When you install both the IR transmitter and IR

receiver on a wall, be sure to install the IR

receiver first before you install the IR

transmitter.

To hang the IR receiver on a wall

1 Fix a commercially available screw into the

wall so that it protrudes 4 mm.

2 Hang the slot of the IR receiver on the

screw.

Make sure that the IR receiver does not move after

installation.

sound is output from the rear speakers when set to

“R. C. WIRELESS” (factory setting). For details, see

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, all the

speakers other than the sub woofer should be the

same distance from the listening position (A ).

However, if necessary, this system allows you to

place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer

(B) and the rear speakers up to 4.5 meters closer

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

12.0 meters (A) from the listening position.

You can place the sub woofer in any position.

You can place the rear speakers either behind

you or to the side, depending on the shape of

your room, etc.

Note

Do not place the center and rear speakers farther away

from the listening position than the front speakers.
