Note
• 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 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 use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
Tip
• When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see
"Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a Room" (page 78) and "Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically"
(page 79).
• Since the system is equipped with S-Force PRO Front Surround technology (page 105), you can enjoy surround
sound with the speaker positions illustrated above.
To obtain the S-Force PRO Front Surround, do all the following:
– set [ALL FRONT] or [ALL FRONT - NO CENTER] in the [SPEAKER FORMATION] setting (page 78).
– set the decoding mode to "A.F.D. MULTI" (page 31).
– play a multi channel source.
– set the sound mode (page 33) to "AUTO," "MOVIE," "MUSIC," or "NEWS."
