Precautions
On safety
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.
Do not climb on the Bar Speaker or the subwoofer, as you may fall down
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
Do not place any objects on top of the system.
Do not insert any objects into the holes (center duct or ventilation holes
on the rear) of the system.
Since the system vibrates during operation, place it so that it does not fall
accidentally.
On power sources
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage is identical
to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the Bar Speaker.
If you are not going to use the system for a long time, be sure to
disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and
will fit into the wall outlet (mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service
shop.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction.
If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system
temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
Sufficient space around the system is needed to release heat. When
placing the system in a rack, leave more than 5 cm space above the
system, and more than 5 cm space along the sides of the system. The rack
behind the system should be open. If you place the system with its back
against the wall, leave more than 10 cm space between the system and
the wall.
Leave the front of the system open.
Do not place the system on top of a device that radiates heat.
Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat
buildup and prolong the life of the system.
Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
Do not place anything at the rear of the system that might block the
ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck,
noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. In this case, place the
system away from the TV, VCR, or tape deck.
Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that have been specially
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
Take care to avoid any possible injury on the corners of the Bar Speaker
or the subwoofer.
On handling the subwoofer
Do not place your hand into the slit of the subwoofer when lifting it. The
speaker driver may be damaged. When lifting it, hold the bottom of the
subwoofer.
On operation

BLUETOOTH wireless technology
Supported BLUETOOTH version and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of capabilities for various BLUETOOTH
product capabilities. See “Specifications” (page 13) on the BLUETOOTH
version and profiles supported by this system.
For you to use the BLUETOOTH function, the BLUETOOTH device to be
connected must support the same profile as this system. Even if the
device supports the same profile, the functions may differ because of the
specifications of the BLUETOOTH device.
The audio playback on this system may be delayed from that on the
BLUETOOTH device because of the characteristics of the BLUETOOTH
wireless technology.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within approximately 10 meters
(unobstructed distance) of each other. The effective communication
range may become shorter under the following conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall or other obstruction is between
the devices with a BLUETOOTH connection
Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
Around microwave ovens that are in use
Locations where other electromagnetic waves occur
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11b/g) use the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your BLUETOOTH device near a
device with wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic interference may
occur.
This could result in lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to
connect. If this happens, try the following remedies:
Try connecting this system and BLUETOOTH mobile phone or
BLUETOOTH device when you are at least 10 meters away from the
wireless LAN equipment.
Turn off the power to the wireless LAN equipment when using your
BLUETOOTH device within 10 meters.
Effects on other devices

operation of some medical devices. Since this interference may result
in malfunction, always turn off the power on this system, BLUETOOTH
mobile phone and BLUETOOTH device in the following locations:
In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas stations, and any place
where flammable gasses may be present
Near automatic doors or fire alarms
This system supports security functions that comply with the BLUETOOTH
specification as a means of ensuring security during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology. However, this security may be insufficient
depending on the setting contents and other factors, so always be careful
when performing communication using BLUETOOTH technology.
Sony cannot be held liable in any way for damages or other loss resulting
from information leaks during communication using BLUETOOTH
technology.
BLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily guaranteed with all
BLUETOOTH devices that have the same profile as this system.
BLUETOOTH devices connected with this system must comply with the
BLUETOOTH specification prescribed by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc., and must
be certified to comply. However, even when a device complies with the
BLUETOOTH specification, there may be cases where the characteristics
or specifications of the BLUETOOTH device make it impossible to connect,
or may result in different control methods, display or operation.
Noise may occur or the audio may cut off depending on the BLUETOOTH
device connected with this system, the communications environment, or
surrounding conditions.

Using the Control for HDMI function
By enabling the Control for HDMI function, and connecting equipment
that is compatible with the Control for HDMI function via an HDMI
cable, operation is simplified with the features below.
When you turn off the TV using the power button on the TV’s remote
control, the system and the connected equipment turn off
automatically.
If you turn on the system while you are watching the TV, the TV sound
is output from the speakers of the system automatically. The volume
of the system is adjusted when you adjust the TV volume.
If the TV sound was output from the speakers of the system the last
time you turned off the TV, the system is turned on automatically
when you turn on the TV again, and the TV sound is output from the
speakers of the system automatically.
If the TV is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC)
technology, an HDMI cable connection also sends a digital audio
signal from the TV to the system. You do not need to make a separate
audio connection for listening to TV sound from the system.
When you play the equipment connected to the system with an HDMI
cable, the connected TV is turned on automatically and the input
signal of the system is switched to the appropriate HDMI input.
The above features may not operate with certain equipment.
Depending on the settings of the connected equipment, the Control for
HDMI function may not work correctly. Refer to the operating instructions
of the equipment.
Using “BRAVIA” Sync features
The original Sony functions listed below can also be used with
products that are compatible with “BRAVIA” Sync.
If a “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible TV is connected to the system, the
power consumption is reduced in standby mode by stopping HDMI
signal transmission when TV is turned off.
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable,
1080p, Deep Color, or 3D/4K images may not be displayed properly.
Use an HDMI-authorized cable.
Use a Sony High Speed HDMI cable with Cable Type Logo.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.
Check the setup of the connected equipment if an image is poor or
the sound does not come out of the equipment connected via the
HDMI cable.

Précautions
Concernant la sécurité
Si un objet ou du liquide venait à pénétrer à l’intérieur du système,
débranchez-le et faites-le vérifier par un technicien qualifié avant de le
remettre en marche.
Ne grimpez pas sur l’enceinte-barre ou le caisson de graves, car vous
risqueriez de tomber et de vous blesser, ou encore d’endommager le
système.
Ne placez aucun objet sur le système.
N’insérez aucun objet dans les orifices (conduit central ou orifices de
ventilation à l’arrière) du système.
Le système vibre pendant son fonctionnement ; il convient donc de le
placer de sorte qu’il ne tombe pas accidentellement.
Concernant les sources d’alimentation
Avant de mettre en marche le système, vérifiez que la tension de
fonctionnement est identique à celle de votre source d’alimentation
locale. La tension de fonctionnement est indiquée sur l’étiquette située à
l’arrière de l’enceinte-barre.
Si vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser le système pendant une période
prolongée, assurez-vous de le débrancher de la prise murale. Pour
débrancher le cordon d’alimentation, tirez sur la fiche et non sur le
cordon.
Une broche de la fiche est plus large que l’autre pour des raisons de
sécurité et il n’y a qu’une seule façon de la brancher dans la prise murale.
Si vous ne parvenez pas à insérer la fiche entièrement dans la prise,
contactez votre revendeur.
Le cordon d’alimentation doit être remplacé uniquement dans un centre
de service après-vente qualifié.
Concernant l’accumulation de chaleur
Bien que le système chauffe lors du fonctionnement, il ne s’agit pas d’un
dysfonctionnement. Si vous utilisez le système continuellement à un
volume élevé, la température augmente considérablement au niveau de
ses faces arrière et inférieure. Pour éviter de vous brûler, ne touchez pas le
système.
Concernant l’emplacement
Un espace suffisant autour du système est nécessaire pour évacuer la
chaleur. Lorsque vous placez le système sur une étagère, laissez un
espace supérieur à 5 cm au-dessus du système et plus de 5 cm sur les
côtés du système. L’étagère située derrière le système doit être ouverte.
Si vous placez le système de sorte que sa façade arrière se trouve contre
le mur, laissez un espace supérieur à 10 cm entre le système et le mur.
Laissez la façade avant du système ouverte.
Ne placez pas le système sur un appareil qui émet de la chaleur.
Installez le système dans un endroit correctement ventilé pour éviter
l’accumulation de chaleur et prolonger la durée de vie de votre système.
N’installez pas le système à proximité de sources de chaleur ou dans un
endroit soumis aux rayons du soleil, à une poussière excessive ou à des
chocs mécaniques.
À l’arrière du système, ne placez aucun objet qui pourrait obstruer les
orifices de ventilation et provoquer des dysfonctionnements.
Si le système est utilisé conjointement avec un téléviseur, un
magnétoscope ou un magnétophone, cela peut provoquer des parasites
et altérer la qualité de l’image. Dans ce cas, éloignez le système du
téléviseur, du magnétoscope ou du magnétophone.
Faites attention lorsque vous installez le système sur des surfaces traitées
(avec de la cire, de l’huile, etc.), car vous risquez de les tacher et de les
décolorer.
Évitez de vous blesser sur les angles de l’enceinte-barre ou du caisson de
graves.
Concernant la manipulation du caisson de graves
Ne placez pas la main dans la fente du caisson de graves pour le soulever.
Cela risquerait d’endommager le moteur de haut-parleur. Soulevez le
caisson de graves en le prenant vers le bas.
Concernant le fonctionnement
Avant de raccorder un autre appareil, assurez-vous d’éteindre et de
débrancher le système.

Si l’écran du téléviseur situé à proximité présente des
irrégularités de couleurs
Des irrégularités de couleurs peuvent être constatées sur certains types de
téléviseurs.
En cas d’irrégularités de couleurs...
Mettez immédiatement le téléviseur hors tension, puis remettez-le sous
tension après 15 à 30 minutes.
En cas d’irrégularités de couleurs persistantes...
Éloignez davantage le système du téléviseur.
Concernant l’entretien
Nettoyez le système avec un chiffon sec et doux. N’utilisez pas de tampons
abrasifs, de poudre à récurer ou de solvant tel que de l’alcool ou de la
benzine.
Si vous avez des questions ou si vous rencontrez des problèmes avec votre
système, consultez votre revendeur Sony le plus proche.
