16 Getting Started 1: Installing the speakers This system allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel surround sound, be sure to connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can place your speakers as shown below. A Front speaker (left) B Front speaker (right) C Center speaker D Surround speaker (left) E Surround speaker (right) F Subwoofer HT-AS5 only HT-AF5 only Notes Be sure to use only the supplied speakers.

17 Tips The angle A should be the same. A A Installing the speakers on the wall The front speakers of HT-AF5 is provided with the speaker stand, you need to disassemble the speakers. Install the front speakers on the wall. Keep the speaker stand for future use. Getting Started Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want. However, it is recommended to place the subwoofer on the front edge of a table or rack, etc., to accept the remote signal correctly. To disassemble the front speakers of HT-AF5 (SS-TSB104) 1 Disconnect the speaker cords. Installing the speakers on the speaker stand For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, you are recommended to use the speaker stand as below. Model HT-AF5 HT-AS5 Speaker stand Supplied. For details, refer to the supplied Quick Setup Guide. Optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand. Rear of the speaker 2 Remove the screw (pre-installed) at the rear of the speaker.

19 To install the speakers on a wall Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker. For details, see Connecting the speakers (page 20). Caution Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied. Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used. Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc. 2 Fasten the screws to the wall. The screws should protrude 8 mm to 10 mm.

If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Colour or 3D images may not be displayed properly. We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D component, the sound and/or the image may not be output. When connecting the optical digital cord, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place. Do not bend or tie optical digital cords. All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 khz, 44.1 khz, 48 khz and 96 khz sampling frequency. Notes on HDMI connections A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the system s speakers. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM. This system supports x.v.colour, Deep Colour and 3D transmission. An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any other audio jacks. Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output. 22 GB

23 Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable. Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched. When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component. You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection. Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 khz multi channel sound over an HDMI connection. You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player. When you use HDMI connection, you can enjoy 3D (three dimension) video contents with 3D compatible TV and 3D compatible components (e.g.: Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 3 ), together with appropriate 3D glasses. 3D images may not be displayed properly, depending on each specification of the 3D compatible TV and 3D compatible components. For details on the supported 3D video format of this system, see page 76. Not every HDMI component supports all functions that are defined by the specified HDMI version. For example, components that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not support Audio Return Channel (ARC). Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details. Connecting satellite tuner or cable television tuner When connecting a satellite tuner or cable television tuner that does not have an HDMI jack, set CTRL HDMI to CTRL OFF in SET HDMI menu (page 43).

Adjust the speaker level. Measure the distance of each speaker from your listening position. Measure the frequency characteristics.* * The measurement result is not utilized for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 khz. If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error. Notes If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will be set to off automatically. When you use the S-AIR product, disconnect the headphones. Example: HT-AF5 Optimizer microphone Getting Started The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels manually according to your preference. For details, see To adjust the speaker levels (page 63). Before you perform Auto Calibration Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (pages 16, 20). The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the system and the microphone. During the calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood. Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to get a more accurate measurement. 1 Connect the supplied optimizer microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack. 2 Set up the optimizer microphone. Place the optimizer microphone at your listening position.you can also use a stool or tripod so that the optimizer microphone remains at the same height as your ears. continued 27 GB
