immediately.

On watching 3D video

images

Some people may experience

discomfort (such as eye strain,

fatigue, or nausea) while watching

3D video images. Sony

recommends that all viewers take

regular breaks while watching 3D

video images. The length and

frequency of necessary breaks will

vary from person to person. You

must decide what works best. If you

experience any discomfort, you

should stop watching the 3D video

images until the discomfort ends;

consult a doctor if you believe

necessary. You should also review

(i) the instruction manual and/or the

caution message of any other

device used with, or Blu-ray Disc

contents played with this product

and (ii) our website (http://

esupport.sony.com/) for the latest

information. The vision of young

children (especially those under six

years old) is still under

development. Consult your doctor

(such as a pediatrician or eye

doctor) before allowing young

children to watch 3D video images.

Adults should supervise young

children to ensure they follow the

recommendations listed above.

Install the system by referring to the illustration below.

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,

oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

• To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.” (BDV-E980W only)

• You can install the speakers on a wall. For details, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.”

Step 2: Connecting the System

For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages.

Do not connect the AC power cords (mains leads) of the unit and surround amplifier to a wall outlet

(mains) until all the other connections are made.

To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.” (BDV-E980W only)

• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a

level where sound is not distorted.

To connect speaker cords to the speaker

You need to connect a speaker cord to each of the following speakers:

• BDV-E780W: Center and surround speakers.

• BDV-E980W: Front, center, and surround speakers.

The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded based on the speaker type.

Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with

the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #. Do not catch the speaker cord

insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.

Getting Started

A HDMI cable connection

If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV with an HDMI cable. This will provide better image

quality compared to other types of connections.

When connecting with an HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal when performing

the Easy Setup (page 29).

For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 64).

About Audio Return Channel

If your TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel function, an HDMI cable connection also

sends a digital audio signal from the TV. You do not need to make a separate audio connection for

listening to TV sound. For setting the Audio Return Channel function, see [Audio Return Channel]

(page 64).

B Component video cable connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, but has component video input jacks, connect to the TV with

a component video cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using a video cord connection.

When connecting with a component video cable, you need to select the type of output signal in the Easy

Setup (page 29).

C Video cord connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack or a component video input jack, make this connection.

D Digital optical cord connection

This connection sends an audio signal to the system from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system,

perform this connection. With this connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast

signal and you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.

• You can enjoy the TV sound by selecting the “TV” function (page 30).

• If your TV does not have a digital optical output jack, you can connect the unit and your TV with an audio cord for

listening to TV sound via the system. For connection details, see “Connecting the other components” (page 24).

Getting Started

When a component you wish to connect to the system has an HDMI

(OUT) jack

You can connect a component that has an HDMI (OUT) jack such as a set-top box/digital satellite

receiver or PLAYSTATION®3, etc., with an HDMI cable. An HDMI cable connection can send both

video and audio signals. By connecting the system and the component using an HDMI cable, you can

enjoy high-quality digital picture and sound via the HDMI (IN 1) or HDMI (IN 2) jack.

• Video signals from the HDMI (IN 1/ 2) jacks are sent to the HDMI (OUT) jack only when the “HDMI1” or

“HDMI2” function is selected.

• To send an audio signal from the HDMI (IN 1/ 2) jacks to the HDMI (OUT) jack, you may need to change the audio

output setting. For details, see [Audio Output] in [Audio Settings] (page 62).

When the component does not have an HDMI OUT jack

Connect the system so that video signals from the system and other component are sent to the TV, and

audio signals from the component are sent to the system as follows.

If the component plays sound only, connect the audio output of the component to the system.

Depending on the jacks on the component, select the connection method.

• Component which has a digital coaxial output jack: A

• Component which does not have a digital coaxial output jack: B

• If you make connection above, set [Control for HDMI] in [HDMI Settings] of [System Settings] to [Off] (page 64).

• You can enjoy component sound by selecting the “SAT/CABLE” function for connection A, or the “AUDIO”

function for connection B (page 30).

Step 3: Connecting to the Network

• To connect the system to your network, you need to make network settings that suit your usage environment and

components. For details, see “Setting up the Network” (page 55) and “[Network Settings]” (page 64).

Select the method based on your LAN (Local Area Network) environment.

• If you use a wireless LAN

The system has built-in Wi-Fi, and you can connect the system to the network by making the network

settings.

• If you use other than a wireless LAN

Connect to the network by making a LAN cable connection as follows.

• The placement distance between the unit and your wireless LAN router differs based on your usage environment.

If the system cannot connect to the network or the network connection is unstable, place the unit and the wireless

LAN router closer to each other. When you cannot place the unit and the wireless LAN router closer to each other,

use the optional USB Wireless LAN Adapter (Sony UWA-BR100* only).

• To connect to a wireless LAN using a 5 GHz frequency band, you need the optional USB Wireless LAN Adapter

(Sony UWA-BR100* only).

* As of November 2010. The USB Wireless LAN Adapter may not be available in some regions/countries.

• You can also get information for network settings from the following Sony support page:

Step 4: Setting up the

Wireless System

The unit transmits sound to the surround

amplifier that is connected to the surround

speakers. To activate wireless transmission,

perform the following Steps.

1Insert the wireless transceiver into the

unit.

2Insert the wireless transceiver into the

surround amplifier.

3Connect the AC power cord (mains

lead) of the unit.

Before connecting the AC power cord,

make sure all connections in “Step 2:

Connecting the System” (page 20) are

secure.

4Press "/1 to turn the system on.

5Connect the AC power cord (mains

lead) of the surround amplifier.

When wireless transmission is activated,

the LINK/STANDBY indicator turns

green.

If the LINK/STANDBY indicator does not

turn on, see “Surround amplifier” (page 13)

and “Wireless sound” (page 71).

About the standby mode

The surround amplifier enters standby mode

automatically (the LINK/STANDBY indicator

turns red) when the main unit is in standby mode

or wireless transmission is deactivated.

The surround amplifier turns on automatically

(the LINK/STANDBY indicator turns green)

when the main unit is turned on and wireless

transmission is activated.

To specify the wireless

connection

If you use multiple wireless products, you can

specify the wireless connection to link the main

unit to the surround amplifier (Secure Link

function). For details, see “Further Settings for

the Wireless System” (page 54).
