Precautions

On safety
Before operating the system, be sure that the operating voltage of the system is identical with that of your local power supply. The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system, unplug the systems power cord and have the system checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

Positioning the speakers

Location of each speaker (C)
Each speaker should face the listening position. Better surround effect will result if all speakers are set at the same distance from the listening position. Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to the left and right of the television. Place the subwoofer on either side of the television. Place the center speaker on the top-center of the TV set. The placement of rear speakers greatly depends on the configuration of the room. The rear speakers may be placed on both sides of the listening position A or behind the listening position B.
Listening to the sound (H)
First, turn down the volume on the amplifier. The volume should be set to minimum before you begin playing the program source.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter a problem with your speaker system, check the following list and take the indicated measures. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Speaker system Speaker units Tweeter: Woofer: 2 way, magnetically shielded 1.9 cm (3/4 in.), dome type 5.7 cm (2 1/4 in.) 2, cone type Bass reflex 8 ohms
Power turns on and off automatically Auto power on/off function (I)
When the subwoofer is on (i.e, the ON/STANDBY indicator lights up green) and there is no signal input for a few minutes, the ON/STANDBY indicator changes to red and the subwoofer enters power saving mode. While in this mode a signal is input to the subwoofer, the subwoofer automatically turns on (auto power on/off function). To turn this feature off, slide the POWER SAVE switch on the rear panel to OFF.

On operation

Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum input power of the system. If the polarity of the speaker connections are not correct, the bass tones will be weak and the position of the various instruments obscure. Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may result in a short-circuit. Before connecting, turn off the amplifier to avoid damaging the speaker system. The volume level should not be turned up to the point of distortion.

Pass the speaker cord into the hole on the back of the stand and out from the hole at the center of the stand. Connect the speaker cord to the speaker.
NOTICE FOR THE CUSTOMERS IN THE USA
Be sure to seat the speaker cord correctly in the groove of the stand and ensure that it doesnt protrude or get crimped.
If you turn down the volume level of the amplifier too low, the auto power on/off function may activate, causing the subwoofer to enter power saving mode.
