Step 1: Installing the System
Getting Started
Positioning 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 1.0 to 7.0 meters.
If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), you can move
the center speaker up to 1.6 meters closer to the listening position (B), and the surround speakers up
to 5.0 meters closer to the listening position (C).
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.

Before connecting the speakers, attach the speaker stand to the speaker.
(For the front and surround speakers)
For details of how to connect the speaker cords to the SPEAKER jacks, see page 20.
Note
• Spread a cloth on the floor to avoid damaging the floor when you assemble the speakers.
Tip
• You can use the speaker without the speaker stand by installing it on the wall (page 18).
1 Fold back the speaker cord and twist it together.
The connector and color tube of the speaker cords are the same color as the label of the jacks to be

Installing the speakers on a wall
Getting Started
Caution
• 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 speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker.
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 #.

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

jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not
appear, repeat the Steps and try other options.
Picture noise appears. • The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you experience problems when you connect your unit through
your VCR, try connecting your unit to your TV’s video input directly (page 21).
