13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. The following FCC statement applies only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in the U.S.A. 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.

Precautions

On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down and injure yourself, or system damage may result.

On power sources

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the subwoofer. If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord. One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet (mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system.

A Speaker cord (supplied)
When you install the speaker on a wall, be careful not to stumble over the cord connected to the speaker.
Installing the speaker on a wall
You can install the speaker on the wall.
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 wall beam. Install the speaker on a vertical and flat reinforced area of the wall. Be sure to subcontract the installation to Sony dealers or licensed contractors and pay special attention to safety during the installation. Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength, improper screw installation or natural calamity, etc.
Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the holes on the back of the speaker. See the illustrations below.

What is BRAVIA Sync?

By connecting Sony components that are compatible with BRAVIA Sync via an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is simplified as below: One-Touch Play (page 21) System Audio Control (page 22) System Power Off (page 23) BRAVIA Sync is compatible with Sony TVs, Blu-Ray Disc/DVD players, AV amplifiers, etc., with the Control for HDMI function. CONTROL FOR HDMI is a mutual control function standard used by CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).
