Video signal is sent to the TV, and is output from the TV screen; audio signals are processed by this 
system and output from the speakers of this system. You can also enjoy sound of other sources, such 
as TV programs, in addition to DVDs or CDs.
Hookup Overview
 
						

							14GB
Connect the supplied speaker system using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the 
jacks to those of the cords. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied with this system.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.) on 
page 71.

 Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
To connect the speaker cords
Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the 
speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.
 Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these 
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch 
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to 
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 73.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker 
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this 
happens, check the speaker connection again.
 Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords 
are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
Installing the speakers on the wall
1Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker. 
See the illustrations below.

2Fasten the screws to the wall.
The screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm (7/32 to 9/32 inch).
3Hang the speakers on the screws.
 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 beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where 
reinforcement is applied.
 Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
 Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or 
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

Connect the supplied AM/FM antennas (aerials) for listening to the radio.
 To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna (aerial) away from the system and other components.
 Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial).
 After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.
 When you connect the supplied AM loop antenna (aerial), cord (A) or cord (B) can be connected to either terminal.
 If you have poor FM reception, use a 75-ohms coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the system to an outdoor FM 
antenna (aerial) as shown below.

Connect the video cord..
B To connect to a TV with the S VIDEO IN jack
Connect an S video cord (not supplied). When using the S video jack instead of the video jacks, your 
TV monitor must also be connected via an S video jack. S video signals are on a separate bus from the 
video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.

B, PR/CR) instead of the video jacks, your TV monitor must be equipped with via COMPONENT 
VIDEO IN jacks (Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR). If your TV accepts progressive format signals, you must use this 
connection and set the output channel of the system to progressive format (page 20).
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV
Depending on the disc, the image may not fit your TV screen.
To change the aspect ratio, see page 69.
Does your TV accept progressive signals?
Progressive is the method for displaying TV images which reduces flickering, and sharpens the image. 
To display using this method, you need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive signals.
“PROGRE” lights up in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive signals.
1Press FUNCTION repeatedly to select “DVD.”
2Press PROGRESSIVE.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
xP AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
– the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and 
selects the appropriate conversion method.
