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.

HookupA

Usually, connect by this method.

This configuration is used when the amplifier is

connected to a DVD player, LD player, VCR or other

video devices.

HookupB

Try this configuration instead of “HookupA” when

there are no jacks on the amplifier for a subwoofer.

An optional specified speaker cord (2.5 m × 2)(8.2 ft. × 2)

is necessary when connecting this way.

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.

• For details regarding the connections on the amplifier

side, refer to the manual that was provided with your

amplifier.

Tip

Black or black striped 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.

•

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

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

• Use caution when placing the speaker on a specially

treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining

or discoloration may result.

Adjusting the subwoofer (K)

1 Rotate VOLUME to adjust the volume.

Set the volume level to best suit your

preference according to the program

source.

2 Select the phase polarity.

Use the PHASE selector to select the phase

polarity.

3 Set BASS-BOOST to MIN.

Rotate BASS-BOOST according to the

output level that you prefer. Some

material is recorded with strong emphasis

on bass sounds, which may be accessive in

some cases. If this happens, rotate BASS-

BOOST towards minimum.

Notes

• Some amplifier 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.

• If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass

reinforcement from your amplifier (such as DBFB,

GROOVE, the graphic equalizer, etc.), turn down the

bass reinforcement and adjust the level.

• Do not turn the volume of the subwoofer to maximum.

Doing so may weaken the bass sound. Moreover,

extraneous noise may be heard.

• Selecting NORMAL or REVERSE with the PHASE

selector reverses the polarity and may provide better

bass reproduction in certain listening environments

(depending on the type of front speakers, the position

of the subwoofer and the adjustment of the BASS-

BOOST. It may also change the expansion and

tightness of sound, and effect the feeling of the sound

field. Select the setting that provides the sound you

prefer when listening in your normal listening position.

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 amplifier has

been turned up properly.

•Make sure the program source selector on the

amplifier 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 amplifier. 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.

Positioning the speakers

Location of each speaker (D)

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 configuration of the room. The surround speakers

may be placed slightly behind the listening position.

Place the surround back speakers behind the listening

position. The angle A should be the same.

Setting the speakers

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while

listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the bottom

four corners of the center speaker, front speakers,

surround speakers and surround back speakers (

E).

Setting the center speaker (F)

Set the center speaker firmly on top of the TV set, making

sure it is completely level.

Setting other speakers (G)

For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers,

use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-WV10D speaker stand

(available only in certain countries).

Tip

The height of the front speakers should be adjusted to

about the center of the TV screen (

H).
