Attach the post to the base.
Insert the post so that the slit on the lower part of the post aligns with the projection of the base, then secure the post with the 2 screws.

Post Slit

Projection Base Screws (small, silver)
Make sure that the slot on the post aligns with the projection of the base by rotating the post slightly.
Adjust the height of the speaker.
Loosen (but do not remove) the screws, adjust the height of the speaker, then secure the screws. Adjust the speaker of one side, then adjust another speaker by checking lines as a guide.
When adjusting the height of the speaker, grasp the speaker so that the speaker does not fall.
Post In addition to the screws secured in Step 3, secure 2 more screws. (Secure 4 screws in total.)

Loosen 2 screws.

Take up any speaker cord slack.
Take up slack in the speaker cord by pulling from the bottom of the base.
Secure the speaker cord by running it through the slot.

Step 2: Connecting the System and TV
The following is the basic connection of the unit to the speakers and TV. For other TV connections, see page 25. For other component connection, see page 29. To accept progressive signals, see page 27. Refer to the connection diagram below, and read the additional information from 1 to 4 on the following pages.

Do not place the AM loop antenna (aerial) near the unit or other AV equipment, as noise may result.
Adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna (aerial) for best AM broadcast sound.
Make sure the AM loop antenna (aerial) is connected firmly by pulling softly. continued
To connect the FM wire antenna (aerial)
Connect the FM wire antenna (aerial) to the COAXIAL FM 75 jack.
FM wire antenna (aerial) (supplied)

COAXIAL FM 75 jack

Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial). After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.
If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the unit to an outdoor FM antenna (aerial) as shown below.
Outdoor FM antenna (aerial)
4 Connecting the AC power cord (mains lead)
Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead) of this unit to a wall outlet (mains), connect the speakers to the unit.
Step 3: Positioning the System

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position. Place speakers as illustrated below.
Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
When you change the positions of the speakers, it is recommended that you change the settings. For details, see Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a Room (page 71) and Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically (page 73).
Do not set the speakers in an inclined position. 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 that are attached with the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result. When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
Step 4: Performing the Quick Setup
Follow the steps below to make the minimum number of basic adjustments for using the system.

If PROTECTOR and PUSH POWER appear alternately in the front panel display. Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the following items after STANDBY disappears. Are the + and speaker cords short-circuited? Are you using only the specified speakers? Is anything blocking the ventilation holes of the system? After checking the above items and fixing any problems, turn on the system. If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. This system can only play back a standard circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction. Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

Picture

There is no picture. The SCART (EURO AV) cord is not connected securely. The SCART (EURO AV) cord is damaged. The unit is not connected to the correct EURO AV t INPUT jack (page 14). The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from the system. Check the output method on your system (page 78). You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 27). Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 27).
Re-connect the connecting cord securely. The unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) compliant (HDMI on the front panel does not light up). See page 98. If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, changing the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack by pressing VIDEO FORMAT may solve the problem (page 26). Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and switch the TVs input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack, and switch the TVs input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and try other options. You have selected PROGRESSIVE using the VIDEO FORMAT button on the remote (PROGRE lights up in the front panel display) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In this case, disconnect the HDMI cord from the unit and then select INTERLACE so that PROGRE turns off. If the signal from the LINE OUT (VIDEO) jack is distorted, change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT jack by pressing VIDEO FORMAT to [720 480p]* (page 26). * Depending on the country, [720 576p] may appear. Picture noise appears. The disc is dirty or flawed. Even though you set the aspect ratio in [TV TYPE] of [SCREEN SETUP], the picture does not fill the TV screen. The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed. Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen. The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following items: If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set. If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set. Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
