Hooking Up the

Checking the supplied accessories
After unpacking, check that the following accessories are
present:
• Front L/R speaker connecting cord, 3.5 m (1)
• Rear speaker connecting cord, 10 m (2)
• Audio connecting cord, 1.5 m (1)

Inserting the batteries into the remote
commander
Before operating the remote commander, install the batteries
as shown below.
1
Open the cover.
2
Insert two size-AA (R6)
batteries with conect
polarity orientation.
To avoid damage caused by battery leakage and
corrosion
If the commander will not be used for a long time, remove
the batteries.
Battery life
About half a year of normal operation can be expected when
using Sony SUM-3 (NS), and about a year using Sony AM-3
(NW) alkaline batteries.
As the batteries run down, the remote commander will lose
its ability to control the speaker system. When this happens,
replace both batteries.
Positioning the speaker system
Location of the front speakers
To obtain high sound quality and a proper sound image
from the front speakers, place the speaker with the built-in
operation panel to the left of the TV and the other to the right
so that the center channel tweeters angle inwards toward the
center of the room.
Also, to obtain the best central sound image, we recommend
placing the left and right speakers within 2.5 meters of each
other and equidistant from the TV.
Location of the rear speakers
Place the rear speakers to the rear of your listening position
(as indicated by the shadowed area Iwlow).

Notes on speaker connection
• Use only the supplied speakers for the rear speaker
connection.
• Make sure to observe the terminal polarity when making
rear speaker connections. That is, connect + to + and - to -.
Connecting terminals of opposite polarity will result in
sound distortion and weakened bass.
• Since the built-in rear speaker amplifier uses the BTL
system, the - speaker cord must be firmly connected.
• Keep the TV volume turned down completely during use
oftheSA-VAl.
