Hooking up the system
Connect the speaker system to the speaker output
terminals of an amplifier.
Make sure power to all components (included the
subwoofer) is turned off before starting the hook-up.
Hookup A
This configuration is used when the amplifier is
connected to a DVD player, LD player, VCR or other
video devices.
Hookup B
Try this configuration instead of “Hookup A” in the
following situations:
—When there are no jacks on the amplifier for a
subwoofer.
—When you want a stronger bass sound from the
subwoofer.
Notes (C)
• Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals
on the speakers are matched to the corresponding
plus (+) and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.
• 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 firm. Contact between
bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may
cause a short-circuit.
• Do not connect the subwoofer to the amplifier’s
CENTER output terminal (which is for Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital (AC-3)). No bass sound will
output from the subwoofer if you do.
• For details regarding the connections on the
amplifier side, refer to the manual that was provided
with your amplifier.
Tip
All strired wires are minus (–) in polarity, and should
be connected to the minus (–) speaker terminals.

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 qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
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 amplifier 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.
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 once, 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
amplifier.
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
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.
The volume level should not be turned up to
the point of distortion.
If the volume level is too high, the speaker protection
circuit activates, and the sound level drops suddenly.
This is not a malfunction. In this case, lower the volume
level and wait for a few moments until the unit resumes
normal operation.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
