Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing this Sony

Compact AV System. Before

operating this system, please read

this manual thoroughly and retain it

for future reference.

Precautions

Safety

• If anything falls into the cabinet,

unplug the unit and have it

checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

• The unit is not disconnected from

the mains as long as it is

connected to the mains outlet,

even if the unit itself has been

turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the wall

outlet if you do not intend to use it

for an extended period of time. To

disconnect the cord, pull it out by

the plug, never by the cord.

Installing

• Do not install the appliance in a

confined space, such as a bookcase

or built-in cabinet.

• Allow adequate air circulation to

prevent internal heat buildup.

• Do not place the unit on surfaces

(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near

materials (curtains, draperies) that

may block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the unit near heat

sources such as radiators, or air

ducts, or in a place subject to

direct sunlight, excessive dust,

mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Do not install the unit in an

inclined position. It is designed to

be operated in a horizontal

position only.

• Keep the unit and discs away from

equipment with strong magnets,

such as microwave ovens, or large

loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

unit.

• If the unit is brought directly from

a cold to a warm location,

moisture may condense inside the

Compact AV System and cause

damage to the lenses. When you

first install the unit, or when you

move it from a cold to a warm

location, wait for about 30 minutes

before operating the unit.

• When you move the system, take out any discs.

If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• For power saving purposes, the system can be

completely turned off by the POWER button

on the main unit. Though the LED remains lit

for a while, the system is completely off.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a

section with very low level inputs or no audio

signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged

when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft

cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. 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 system, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD

cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On your TV’s color

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have

color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then

turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color

irregularity should persist, place the speakers

further away from the set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a

still video image or on-screen display image on

your television screen indefinitely. If you leave

the still video image or on-screen display image

displayed on your TV for an extended period of

time you risk permanent damage to your

television screen. Projection televisions are

especially susceptible to this.

Precautions

On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments with

this product will increase eye hazard.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked

by qualified personnel before operating it any

further.

On power sources

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the

qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the

cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a

malfunction. However, touching the cabinet

should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a

confined space where ventilation is poor as this

may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting

anything on the system. The system is

equipped with a high power amplifier. If the

ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked,

the unit can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on a soft surface such

as a rug that might block the ventilation holes

on the bottom.

• Do not place the system in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,

excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to

a warm location, or is placed in a very damp

room, moisture may condense on the lenses

inside the system. Should this occur, the

system may not operate properly. In this case,

remove the disc and leave the system turned on

for about half an hour until the moisture

evaporates.

Stocker

Disc

tray

Playing unit

Note on DVD 5-disc

changer with EXCHANGE

mechanism

You can change other discs while playing a

disc (EXCHANGE mechanism).

The disc changer consists of a playing

unit, trays which hold the discs, and a

stocker which transports the discs on

their trays to the disc slot and the

playing unit.

For example, if you press DISC 3, the

stocker moves until the DISC 3 tray

comes to the position of the playing unit

and then moves the DISC 3 tray over the

playing unit. If you press A of DISC 4

while playing DISC 3, the stocker leaves

the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit,

moves so that the DISC 4 tray comes to

the position of the disc cover, opens the

disc cover and pushes out the DISC 4

tray (EXCHANGE mechanism).

Note

Noise may come from the disc changer when

changing discs or turning the system on and off.

However, this is just noise produced by the

operation of the internal mechanisms and does

not indicate a malfunction.

To avoid 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 bad conditions of the speaker cord

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check

that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 28.

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 front panel display, the speaker may be

short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Notes

• 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 be distorted and will lack bass.

• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
