Step 1: Installing the System
For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position (A). The distance can be between 0 to 23 feet (0.0 to 7.0 meters). If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), place them within 23 feet (7.0 meters) of the listening position. Place the surround speakers to the rear of the listening position (B). The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.
Note
Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

Caution Contact a screw shop or installer 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 and fasten them to the wall. 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 front speakers on a wall, you need to disassemble the speakers. You can install the upper part of a speaker on a wall.
To disassemble the speaker
1 Disconnect the speaker cords from the speaker.
2 Remove the screw (pre-installed) at the rear of the speaker.
This screw is used when reassembling the speaker. Be sure not to lose the screw.

Step 2: Connecting the System For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages. Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made.
Note
When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.
The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded depending on the type of speaker. Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKER jacks of the unit. Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #. Do not catch the speaker cord insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.

This connection sends a video signal to the TV. Depending on the jacks on your TV, select the connection method.
Method 1: Video cord (A) connection This is the basic connection.
Method 2: HDMI* cable (B) and video cord (A) connection If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV both with an HDMI cable and video cord. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the video cord connection. When connecting with the HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal (pages 33, 80). To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the video cord.
