Sony Dav Dz340m Operating Instructions

							21GB
Getting StartedCaution
 Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
 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. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.
 Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or 
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.
Before installing the tall full stand-type speaker on a wall
(DAV-DZ840K/DAV-DZ940K only)
Install only the upper part of the speaker.
Remove the protection sheets from the two pieces of double-sided tape on the speaker-
bottom cover, then attach the speaker-bottom cover to the bottom of the upper part of the 
speaker.
Note When attaching the speaker-bottom cover, align it with the indentation on the bottom of the speaker.
To hang the speaker on a wall
For DAV-DZ340K (Indian models), you can select the speaker hanging method.
 To hang the speakers directly on a wall in an upright position: see the following Steps.
 To hang the front speakers on a wall at a desired angle by using the supplied wall mounting parts: see 
“To install the front speakers on a wall using the wall mounting parts” (page 23).
1Connect the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the

xMethod 1: Video cord (supplied) connection
This is the basic connection.
xMethod 2: HDMI cable* connection
Picture quality will be improved compared to Method 1.
If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, this connection also sends a digital 
audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for listening to TV 
sound. For details of the Audio Return Channel function, see “Receiving the digital audio signal of your 
TV” (page 52).

2 Connecting the audio from your TV/set-top box
To listen to TV or set-top box sound via the system, select one of the connection methods.
xMethod 1: Audio cord (not supplied) connection
This is the basic connection and sends an analog audio signal.
xMethod 2: Digital optical cord (not supplied) connection (DAV-DZ840K/DAV-DZ940K only)
Sound quality will be improved compared to Method 1.
Note The TV (DIGITAL IN OPTICAL) jack is available on DAV-DZ840K/DAV-DZ940K only.
 The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. If the digital 
signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after a few seconds.
 If there is no sound from an analog input when making an audio connection via an audio cord (Method 1, analog 
connection) and a video connection via an HDMI cable, set [AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL] in [HDMI SETUP] 
to [Off] (page 62). For details, see “Receiving the digital audio signal of your TV” (page 52).

 You can connect another component, such as a VCR, digital satellite receiver, or PlayStation, to the TV jacks 
instead of your TV.
