Location of each speaker

Each speaker should face the listening position. Better

surround effect will result if all speakers are set at the

same distance from the listening position.

Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to the left

and right of the television.

Place the subwoofer on either side of the television.

Place the center speaker on the top-center of the TV set.

The placement of rear speakers greatly depends on the

configuration of the room. The rear speakers may be

placed on both sides of the listening position A or

behind the listening position B.

Tips

· Movies are best enjoyed in a room that produces no

echoes (as in one with surrounding curtains).

· Music (especially classical music) is best enjoyed in a

room that produces some echo.

Setting the speakers

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while

listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the bottom

four corners of the center speaker, front speakers, and

rear speakers.

Setting the center speaker

Set the center speaker firmly on top of the TV set, making

sure it is completely level.

Setting the subwoofer (SA-WMSP1)

Since the human ear cannot detect the direction and

position where the bass sound being reproduced by a

woofer (below 200 Hz) comes from, you can install the

woofer wherever you like in your room. To obtain a

better bass reproduction, we recommend you to install

the woofer on a solid floor where the resonance is

unlikely to occur.

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while

listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the subwoofer.

Notes

· Always install the woofer vertically, keeping a few

centimeters from away the wall.

· Do not place an object on the woofer or sit on it.

· If the woofer is installed in the center of a room, the

bass could be extremely 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

installing a bookshelf on the wall, etc.

Setting other speakers

For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers,

use the optional WS-FV10A, WS-TV10A, or WS-WV10A

speaker stand (available only in certain countries).

Tip

The height of the front speakers should be adjusted to

about the center of the TV screen.

Adjusting the subwoofer

(SA-WMSP1)

You can adjust the sound of the subwoofer to suit the

sound of your front speakers. Reinforcing the bass

sound gives you a greater sense of atmosphere.

Adjust the volume level of the

woofer

Turn the LEVEL control so that you can hear the bass

sound a little more than before. To increase the volume,

turn the control clockwise. To decrease the volume, turn

the control counterclockwise.

Notes

· If the sound distorts when you turn on the bass

reinforcement from your amplifier (such as, DBFB,

GROOVE, the graphic equalizer, etc.), turn off the bass

reinforcement and adjust the sound.

· Do not turn the volume of the woofer to maximum.

Doing so may weaken the bass sound. Moreover,

extraneous noise may be heard.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter a problem with your speaker

system, use this troubleshooting guide to help you

remedy the problem. Should any problem persist,

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

For Speakers

There is no sound from the speaker system.

·Make sure all the connections have been

correctly made.

·Make sure the volume on the amplifier has

been turned up properly.

·Make sure the program source selector on the

amplifier is set to the proper source.

·Check if headphones are connected. If they

are, disconnect them.

There is distortion in the subwoofer sound

output.

·Check if any sound-enhancing functions have

been activated on the amplifier. If they have,

turn them off.

There is hum or noise in the speaker output.

·Make sure all the connections have been

correctly made.

·Make sure none of the audio components are

positioned too close to the TV set.

The sound has suddenly stopped.

·Make sure all the connections have been

correctly made. Contact between bare

speaker wires at the speaker terminals may

cause a short-circuit.

Listening to the sound

1 Turn on the amplifier and select the

program source.

2 Press POWER (?/1).

The woofer turns on and the POWER

indicator lights up in green.

3 Play the program source.

Adjust the VOLUME so that sound

from the front speakers is not distorted.

If it is distorted, the sound from the

woofer will also be distorted.

Notes

· Never set the amplifier's tone control (BASS, TREBLE,

etc.) or the equalizer 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 unit. These

actions may cause damage to the speakers.

When a special disc containing abnormally enhanced

bass is played, noise may be output in addition to the

original sound. In such a case, decrease the sound

level.

· The subwoofer output signal (DOLBY digital (AC-3)

signal) of the digital surround processor sold singularly

is set 10 dB higher by Dolby laboratories Licensing

Corporation. In the case of using normally, adjust the

subwoofer level.
