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.

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 22).

For further HDMI settings, see “[HDMI Settings]” (page 51).

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 51).

B Video cord connection

If your TV does not have an HDMI jack, make this connection.

C 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 23).

• 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 17).

17US

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 49).

Precautions

On safety

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or

place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or

shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it

checked by qualified personnel before operating it

any further.

• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with

wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.

On power sources

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do

not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To

disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by

the cord.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet

becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.

However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do

not place the system in a confined space where

ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything

on the system. The system is equipped with a high

power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,

the system can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,

etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may

block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as

a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not install the system near heat sources such as

radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or

shock.

• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is

designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the system and discs away from components

with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or

large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

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 lenses inside the unit. Should

this occur, the system may not operate properly. In

this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned

on for about half an hour until the moisture

evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you

do not, the disc may be damaged.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and

have it checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section

with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you

do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level

section is suddenly played.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do

not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or

solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens

cleaners

• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners

(including wet or spray types). These may cause

the apparatus to malfunction.

On replacement of parts

• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired

parts may be collected for reuse or recycling

purposes.

On your TV’s color

• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have

color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after

15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist,

place the speakers further away from the TV set.

Additional Information

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still

video image or on-screen display image on your

television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still

video image or on-screen display image displayed

on your TV for an extended period of time you risk

permanent damage to your television screen.

Projection televisions are especially susceptible to

this.

54US

On moving the system

• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no

disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains

lead) from the wall outlet (mains).

Notes about the Discs

On handling discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its

edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in

a car parked in direct sunlight as the

temperature may rise considerably inside the

car.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning

cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl LPs.

This system can only play a standard circular

disc. Using neither standard nor circular discs

(e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a

malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially

available accessory attached, such as a label or

ring.
