The following FCC statement

applies only to the version of

this model manufactured for

sale in the USA. Other versions

may not comply with FCC

technical regulations.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested

and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may

cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

However, there is no guarantee

that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined

by turning the equipment off and on,

the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

 Increase the separation between

the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an

outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an

experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

You are cautioned that any changes or

modifications not expressly approved

in this manual could void your

authority to operate this equipment.

Properly shielded and grounded

cables and connectors must be used

for connection to host computers and/

or peripherals in order to meet FCC

emission limits.

This equipment must not be co-

located or operated in conjunction

with any other antenna or transmitter.

This equipment complies with FCC

radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled environment and

meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)

Exposure Guidelines. This equipment

has very low levels of RF energy that it

deemed to comply without maximum

permissive exposure evaluation

(MPE). But it is desirable that it should

be installed and operated keeping

the radiator at least 20cm or more

away from person’s body (excluding

extremities: hands, wrists, feet and

ankles).

Disposal of waste batteries

the screws securely to a wall stud. Install

the speaker system on a vertical and flat

reinforced area of the wall.

ˎ

Be sure to subcontract the installation

to Sony dealers or licensed contractors

and pay special attention to safety

during the installation.

ˎ

Sony is not responsible for accidents

or damage caused by improper

installation, insufficient wall strength,

improper screw installation or natural

calamity, etc.

the remote control

Point the remote control at the

subwoofer’s remote control sensor.

 OPT IN (optical input) jack

Use the optical digital cable

(supplied) to connect to the Digital

Out (Optical) jack of a TV when

listening to the TV sound using this

system (page18).

 FM ANTENNA

Find a location and an orientation

that provide good reception when

you set up the antenna.

Keep the antenna away from the

power cord and the USB cable to

avoid picking up noise.

 Power

Connect the power cord to the wall

outlet.

When the power cord is connected,
