Preventing the TV from falling  
Setting this stand  
Secure the TV to provide a protective measure  
against earthquakes, etc.  
About the installation position  
Perform the following steps if you have a Sony  
LCD TV.  
Install the stand after connecting all the  
components to the stand.  
Install the stand after allowing for a space of  
more than 1 cm from the wall. This is to allow  
for heat dissipation and to prevent the TV from  
falling. Installation of the stand requires two or  
more people.  
1
Take off the top cover and the side  
cover from the rear side of the stand.  
When you take off the top cover, hold both  
ends of the cover as shown in the illustration  
and slowly take it off.  
More than  
1 cm  
When you take off the side cover, hold the  
side and bottom of the cover as shown in the  
illustration and slowly take it off.  
Top cover  
The stand has its back corners cut to fit in the  
corner of a room. If you install the stand in a  
corner of your room, it requires a space of about  
87 cm from the corner of the room to the front of  
the stand.  
Side cover  
2
Place the TV on the stand.  
The TV should be placed in the center of the  
stand, aligning the rear edge of the TV’s  
base with the stand’s rear edge.  
87 cm  
Note  
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers when setting up  
the stand.  
Installing the shelf board

You can fasten a wood screw to the  
centrally-positioned hole on the rear of the  
stand.  
For details on acquiring the support belt and  
screws, refer to the operating instructions  
supplied with Sony LCD TV.

Replace the top cover while gathering  
the cables together, and then replace  
the side cover.  
Guide the TV cables through the square  
notch on the top cover and insert the four  
projecting parts on the top cover and side  
cover into the holes on the rear side of the  
stand as shown in the illustration.

Connecting the TV and player  
Connect the TV and/or player with HDMI jacks to the stand using an HDMI cable.  
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync-compatible components using HDMI cables, operation can be  
simplified when you set the Control for HDMI function for the TV. See ““BRAVIA” Sync Features”

Notes  
• The stand is compatible with the Audio Return Channel (ARC) function. If you connect the stand to the ARC-  
compatible TV’s HDMI jack via an HDMI cable, you do not need to connect the TV to the stand with the digital  
optical cord.  
• You can see the letters “ARC” beside the TV’s HDMI jack if it is compatible with the ARC function. Even if you  
connect an HDMI cable to the jack, if the HDMI input jack is not compatible with the ARC function, you cannot  
use the ARC function.  
• The ARC function is available only when Control for HDMI is set to on.  
• All the HDMI jacks on the stand function in the same way. Connect a “PlayStation 3,” etc., to any available HDMI  
jack.  
• The HDMI jack connections have priority when you connect different components to the stand using the INPUT  
OPT/ INPUT COAX and HDMI jacks.  
GB

Tip  
• Even if the stand is turned off (active standby mode), the HDMI signal will be sent from the connected component  
to the TV via the HDMI connection. You can enjoy image and sound from the component on the TV.  
Notes on HDMI connections  
• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p, Deep Colour, or 3D  
images may not be displayed properly.  
• We recommend that you use an HDMI-authorized cable.  
• Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a  
component connected via the HDMI cable.  
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be  
suppressed by the connected component.  
• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of 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 TV OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output.  
In this case, check the specification of the connected component.  
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.  
• When “TV,” “FM,” “DMPORT” or “AUDIO” is selected for the input source of the stand, video  
signals via the HDMI input jack (BD, DVD, SAT/CATV) that was selected last time are output from  
the HDMI TV OUT jack.  
• This system supports Deep Colour, “x.v.Colour,” and 3D transmission.  
• To enjoy 3D images, connect 3D-compatible TV and video components (Blu-ray Disc player, Blu-  
ray Disc recorder, “PlayStation 3,” etc.) to the system using High Speed HDMI cables, put on 3D  
glasses, and then play back 3D-compatible content.

Connecting other components  
When connecting components that do not have HDMI jacks, such as a “PlayStation 2” or a DVD  
player, etc., set “CTRL HDMI” to “OFF” in the AMP menu of the stand (page 25). Even if “CTRL  
HDMI” is set to “ON,” you can enjoy a video cassette recorder, etc., that does not have surround  
channels by connecting its audio and video output jacks directly to the TV instead of the stand.

Notes  
• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna (aerial).  
• After connecting the FM wire antenna (aerial), keep it as horizontal as possible.  
• Do not connect or disconnect the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter while the stand is turned on.  
• When you connect the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, be sure the connector is inserted with the arrow mark  
facing toward the arrow mark on the DMPORT jack. To detach the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, press and  
hold A and then pull out the connector.

Connecting the AC power cord (mains lead)  
Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead) of the stand to a wall outlet (mains), connect all the  
other components and TV to the stand.  
Note  
• Connect the stand to an easily accessible AC outlet (mains). Should you notice an abnormality in the stand,  
disconnect the main plug from the AC outlet (mains) immediately.  
Setting up the sound output of the connected component  
Depending on the audio output settings of the connected component, the sound may output in 2 channel  
format only. In this case, set the connected component to output sound in multi-channel format (DTS,  
Dolby Digital, multi-channel LPCM). For details on audio output settings, refer to the operating  
instructions supplied with the connected component.

compatible with these sound formats, the stand  
accepts the signal as Dolby Digital or DTS. When you  
playback these high-quality sound formats, set the  
connected component to output the sound in multi-  
channel PCM, if possible.  
Notes  
• When you connect the video output jack of the  
DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter to the video input  
jack of the TV, set “CTRL HDMI” to “OFF” in the  
AMP menu of the stand (page 25). The images of a  
component connected to the DIGITAL MEDIA  
PORT adapter will not be played on the TV if “CTRL  
HDMI” is set to “ON.”  
• To enjoy the sound of a component without  
displaying the images when “CTRL HDMI” is set to  
“ON,” turn off the TV first and then reset the power of  
the stand.  
If you turn on the stand first and then turn off the TV,  
all components connected to the TV will be turned off  
because of the Control for HDMI function.  
If you are using “BRAVIA” Sync

Using the Radio Data  
System (RDS)  
What is the Radio Data  
System?  
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting  
service that allows radio stations to send  
additional information along with the regular  
program signal. This tuner offers convenient  
RDS features, such as station name display.*  
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do  
they provide the same type of services. If you are not  
familiar with the RDS, check with your local radio  
stations for details on RDS services in your area.  
Receiving RDS broadcasts  
Simply select a station.  
When you tune in a station that provides RDS  
services, the frequency in the front panel display  
switches to the station name.*  
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name  
will not appear in the front panel display unless you  
set the station name manually.  
Note  
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are  
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly,  
or if the signal strength is weak.  
Tip  
• When a station name is displayed, you can check the  
frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.
