• Do not drive the speaker system with a continuous

wattage exceeding the maximum input power of the
system.

• Before connecting, turn off the speaker system, the

PC and audio component to avoid damaging the
speaker system.

• The volume level should not be turned up to the

point of distortion.

• Although this system is magnetically shielded, do not

leave recorded tapes, watches, personal credit cards
or floppy disks using magnetic coding in front of the
system for an extended period of time.

Although this system is magnetically shielded, there may
be cases that the picture on some TV sets/personal
computers may become magnetically distorted. In such a
case, turn off the power of the TV set/personal computer
once, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again. In the
case of a personal computer, take appropriate measures,
such as data storage, before turning it off.
When there seems to be no improvement, locate the
system farther away from the TV set/personal
computer. Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in
which magnets are attached or used near the TV set/
personal computer, such as audio racks, TV stands, toys
etc. These may cause magnetic distortion to the picture
due to their interaction with the system.

• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not leave the system in a location near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, moisture, rain or mechanical shock.

• Do not install the satellite speaker anywhere other

than on a wall.

• Do not hang anything on the satellite speaker.

Do not use alcohol, benzene, or thinner to clean the
cabinet.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your
speaker system, please consult your nearest Sony
dealer.

injury to your finger.

When you use the satellite speaker attached
to a wall (See fig. A-B)

The satellite speaker can be attached to a wall. Follow
the Notes (below) to install safely. Improper installation
may result in the speaker falling and causing bodily
injury or damage to the speaker or other object.

• Confirm wall thickness is sufficient. A

minimum thickness of 9.5 mm is recommended
for plasterboard.

• Use the specified clamp (hollow wall anchor,

not supplied) when attaching to plasterboard.

• Refer to the supplied operating instructions

using a hollow wall anchor.

• Use wall anchors of at least 20 kg hanging

capacity.

• Refer to the instruction supplied with hollow

wall anchor.

• Requires ø 4 mm hollow wall anchor.
• Set up the head of a hollow wall anchor 5 mm

from the wall.

• Apply a bond (anaerobic threadlocking

material) to the hollow wall anchor to prevent
the screw loosening.

Insert the wall anchor in the anchor hole of the
satellite speaker.

• Detach the stand from the satellite speaker

before attaching to the wall.

• Ensure that the satellite speaker is securely

attached to the wall before use.

(See fig. B)

Confirm the location of the satellite speakers, and

You can adjust the volume of the subwoofer and
each satellite speaker.
When connecting to the headphone output, also
adjust the volume of the connected component.
After listening, set the POWER switch to OFF.
The POWER indicator goes off.

Connect the headphones/earphones to the PHONES
jack on the controller.

Turn off the MEGA BASS or BASS BOOST (Walkman,
