Precautions
On safety
• Before operating the system, be sure that the operating
voltage of the system is identical with that of your local
power supply.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull
the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system, unplug
the system’s power cord and have the system checked by
qualifi ed personnel before operating it any further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualifi ed service
shop.
On operation
• Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous wattage
exceeding the maximum input power of the system.
• If the polarity of the speaker connections are not correct,
the bass tones will be weak and the position of the various
instruments obscure.
• Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals
may result in a short circuit.
• Before connecting, turn off the amplifi er to avoid damaging
the speaker system.
• The speaker grille cannot be removed. Do not attempt to
remove the grille on the speaker system. If you try to remove
it, you may damage the speaker.
• The volume level should not be turned up to the point of
distortion.
If you encounter color irregularity on a
nearby TV screen
This speaker system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be
installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still
be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
c
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30
minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
c
Place the speakers further away from the TV set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the
amplifi er.
On placement
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• 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 speaker on a specially
treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) fl oor, as staining or
discoloration may result.
On cleaning
Clean the speaker cabinets with a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution or water. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your speaker
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Hooking up the system
Connect the speaker system to the speaker output terminals of
an amplifi er (
A
).
Make sure power to all components (included the subwoofer)
is turned off before starting the hook-up.
Notes (
B
)
• Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on the
speakers are matched to the corresponding plus (+) and
minus (–) terminals on the amplifi er.
• Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals
securely as loose screws may become a source of noise.
• Make sure all connections are fi rm. Contact between bare
speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause a short
circuit.
• For details regarding the connections on the amplifi er side,
refer to the manual that was provided with your amplifi er.
Tip
Black or black striped wires are minus (–) in polarity, and
should be connected to the minus (–) speaker terminals.

Positioning the speakers
Location of each speaker (
C
)
Each speaker should face the listening position. Better
surround effect will result if all speakers are set at the same
distance from the listening position.
Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to the left and
right of the television.
Place the subwoofer on either side of the television.
Place the center speaker on the top-center of the TV set.
The placement of surround speakers greatly depends on the
confi guration of the room. The surround speakers may be
placed on both sides of the listening position
A
or behind the
listening position
B
.
Setting the speakers
To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening,
attach the supplied foot pads to the bottom four corners of the
front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers (
D
).
Setting the center speaker (
E
)
Set the center speaker fi rmly on top of the TV set, making sure
it is completely level.
Setting the speakers using the optional speaker
stands (
F
)
For greater fl exibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the
optional WS-FV11 or WS-WV10D speaker stand (available
only in certain countries).
To hang the front, center and surround speakers
with a hook (not supplied) on the wall (
G
)
You are responsible for the proper selection and use of
mounting hardware that you purchase at hardware stores, and
for the proper and safe mounting of the speakers.
Tip
The height of the front speakers should be adjusted to about the
center of the TV screen (
H
).
Setting the amplifi er
When connecting to an amplifi er with internal multi channel
decoders (Dolby Digital, DTS**, etc.), you should use the
setup menus for the amplifi er to specify the parameters of your
speaker system.
See the table below for the proper settings. For details on the
setting procedure, refer to the manual that was provided with
your amplifi er.
Speaker setup
For Set to
Front speakers SMALL
Center speaker SMALL

according to the program source.
Notes
• Some amplifi er functions for enhancing the sound may cause
distortion in the subwoofer. If such distortion occurs, turn off
those functions.
• To enjoy high-quality sound, do not turn the subwoofer
volume too high.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter a problem with your speaker system,
check the following list and take the indicated measures. If the
problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
There is no sound from the speaker system.
• Make sure all the connections have been correctly
made.
• Make sure the volume on the amplifi er has been
turned up properly.
• Make sure the program source selector on the
amplifi er is set to the proper source.
• Check if headphones are connected. If they are,
disconnect them.
There is distortion in the subwoofer sound
output.
• Check if any sound-enhancing functions have been
activated on the amplifi er. If they have, turn them
off.
There is hum or noise in the speaker output.
• Make sure all the connections have been correctly
made.
• Make sure none of the audio components are
positioned too close to the TV set.
The sound has suddenly stopped.
• Make sure all the connections have been correctly
made. Contact between bare speaker wires at the
speaker terminals may cause a short circuit.
