5 Reinstall the rear cover.  
Put the wires through the hole at the bottom  
of the rear cover.  
Note on the glass cover of CD player  
The CD player cover is made of tempered glass.  
Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is  
more shock resistant and able to bear more weight  
than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may  
shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is  
scratched.  
To connect optional components  
See Optional Componentson page 17.  
Placing the sub woofer  
Since the human ear cannot detect the direction  
and position where the bass sound being  
reproduced by a woofer (below 150 Hz) comes  
from, you can place the woofer wherever you  
like in your room. To obtain a better bass  
reproduction, we recommend you to place the  
woofer on a solid floor where the resonance is  
unlikely to occur.  
6 Connect the power cords of system  
and the sub woofer to the wall outlet  
after you complete all the connections.  
The sub woofer switches to standby mode  
automatically after a certain time (Auto  
Power Off).  
Notes  
7 To use the remote, pull out the  
insulating sheet to allow power to flow  
from the battery.  
Always place the woofer vertically, keeping a few  
centimeters from away the wall.  
If the woofer is placed in the center of a room, the  
bass could be extreamely weakened. This is due to  
the influence of the standing wave of the room. If  
this happened, move the woofer away from the  
center of a room or eliminate the cause of the  
standing wave, by placing a bookshelf on the wall,  
etc.  
The remote already contains a battery.

Adjusting the sound  
You can adjust the sound of the sub woofer to  
suit the sound source and adjustment on the  
system.  
Generating a more dynamic  
sound  
1 Start playing the sound source.  
— DSG  
Male vocal tunes and voice containing bass  
sounds are most suitable for adjustment. The  
volume for the system should be set to the  
same level as usual.  
You can use the DSG (Dynamic Sound  
Generator) function to produce a more powerful  
sound.  
2 Turn CUT OFF FREQ on the sub woofer to  
adjust the cut-off frequency.  
Press DSG on the remote.  
Each time you press the button, the display  
changes cyclically as follows:  
3 Turn LEVEL on the sub woofer to adjust  
the volume level of the sub woofer.  
DSG 1 t DSG 2 t DSG OFF  
When DSG is on, “DSG” lights up.  
4 Press PHASE on the sub woofer  
repeatedly to select the phase polarity.

preference.  
Tips  
• The power indicator lights red in standby mode.  
During playing, the indicator turns green. The sub  
woofer switches to standby mode automatically a  
few minutes after the music ends and sound is no  
longer produced.  
• If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass  
reinforcement (such as DSG, Bass, etc.), turn off  
the bass reinforcement and adjust the sound.  
• Once you have adjusted the sub woofer to the  
setting you desire, you can use VOL – or + on the  
system to adjust the volume of the sub woofer  
linked to the satellite speakers.  
Adjusting the bass  
Press BASS + or – on the remote  
repeatedly to adjust the bass.  
You can adjust the bass in 7 steps (from –3 to  
+3).  
Adjusting the treble  
• Reversing the polarity with PHASE on the sub  
woofer may provide better bass reproduction in  
certain listening environments (depending on the  
position of the sub woofer/satellite and adjustment  
of the cut-off frequency). It may also change the  
expanse and tightness of the sound, and effect the  
feeling of the sound field.  
Press TREBLE + or – on the remote  
repeatedly to adjust the treble.  
You can adjust the treble in 7 steps (from –3 to  
+3).  
Tips  
• You can enjoy the original sound by setting BASS  
and TREBLE to 0.  
Note  
Never set the system’s tone control (Bass, Treble) or  
DSG output to a high level or input sinewaves of  
20 Hz to 50 Hz recorded on a commercially available  
test disc or special sound (bass sound of electronic  
musical instrument, pop noise of analog disc  
turntable, sound with abnormally enhanced bass, etc.)  
in a high level to this system. These actions may  
cause damage to the speakers. When a special disc  
containing abnormally enhanced bass is played, noise  
may be output. In such a case, decrease the sound  
level.  
• You cannot activate DSG and Bass/Treble  
adjustment at the same time.

Additional Information  
On installing  
When you move the system, remove the CD.  
Precautions  
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 lens inside the CD  
player. Should this occur, the system will not operate  
properly. Remove the CD and leave the system turned  
on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.  
The nameplate is located on the bottom  
exterior.  
On safety  
The glass over the display window on the cover is  
made of tempered glass.  
Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is  
more shock resistant and able to bear more weight  
than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may  
shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is  
scratched.  
The system is not disconnected from the AC power  
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the system 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.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning  
your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
On the speaker system  
This speaker system is magnetically shielded and can  
be used near TV sets. However, the picture on certain  
TV sets may become magnetically distorted. In such a  
case, turn off the power of the TV set once, and after  
15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.  
If there seems to be no improvement, locate the  
speaker system further away from the TV set. Also,  
be sure not to place objects in which magnets are  
attached or used near the TV set, such as audio racks,  
TV stands and toys. These may cause magnetic  
distortion to the picture due to their interaction with  
the system.  
To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
system, unplug the system and have it checked by  
qualified personnel before operating it any further.  
AC power cord must be changed only at the  
qualified service shop.  
When you connect the power cord to a wall outlet,  
even if the power is off, the system begins charging  
for remote and timer functions. Therefore the  
surface of this unit become warm, this is normal.  
Notes on CDs  
Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.  
Wipe the CD from the center out.  
Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it as  
this may damage the player.  
On placement  
Place the system in a location with adequate air  
circulation, and do not place anything on top of the  
system.  
Do not place the system in an inclined position.  
Do not place the system in locations where it is:  
Extremely hot or cold  
Do not use solvents.  
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat  
sources.  
Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,  
star) cannot be played on this system. Attempting to  
do so may damage the system. Do not use such  
discs.  
Dusty or dirty  
Very humid  
Subject to vibrations  
Subject to direct sunlight.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild  
detergent solution.  
To avoid damaging the sub woofer  
Be careful in setting the volume control to avoid an  
excessive input power.  
Do not attempt to open the enclosuer or remold  
speaker units and networks.  
On heat build up  
Although the system heats up during operation,  
this is not a malfunction.  
Place the system in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat build up in the system.  
If you continuously use this system at a large volume,  
the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom  
rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not  
touch the cabinet.  
To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation  
hole for the cooling fan.
