 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 (not supplied) 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.
 Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
Notes on placing IR transmitter and IR receiver
 Do not install the IR receiver in a place exposed to direct sunlight or strong light such as an incandescent lamp. 
 The cords of the IR transmitter and IR receiver are for this system only. You cannot use a commercially available 
extension cord.
Notes on placing the surround amplifier and speaker base
 Do not step and place objects other than supplied speakers on the surround amplifier and speaker base.
 When you install the speaker on the surround amplifier or speaker base, make sure the speaker is properly stacked.
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 96.
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 7 to 8 mm (9/32 to 11/32 inch).
3Peel the seals off the two screw points on the rear of the speaker.
Note
Stripped speaker cord is 
touching another speaker 
terminal.Stripped cords are touching each 
other due to excessive removal of 
insulation.

4Attach the wall-mount pads on the rear side of the speaker.
5Hang 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.

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.
C To connect to a TV with the COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks
Connect a component video cord (not supplied). To use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (Y, PB/
C
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 29).
D To connect to a TV with the HDMI (high-definition multimedia 
interface)/DVI (digital visual interface) input jack (DAV-FX1000W only)
Use a certified HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) cord (not supplied) to enjoy high quality 
digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack.
Note that Super Audio CD sound is not output from the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia 
interface out) jack.
To connect to a TV with DVI (digital visual interface) input 
Use an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface)-DVI (digital visual interface) converter cord (not 
supplied) with an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface)-DVI (digital visual interface) adaptor 
(not supplied). The DVI (digital visual interface) jack will not accept any audio signals. Furthermore, 
you cannot connect the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack to DVI (digital 
visual interface) jacks that are not HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) compliant (e.g., 
DVI (digital visual interface) jacks on PC displays).
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 92.
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.
