Mounting the Sound Bar

on a Wall

You can mount the Sound Bar on a wall.

• Prepare screws (not supplied) that are

suitable for the wall material and

strength. As a plasterboard wall is

especially fragile, attach the screws

securely in the wall beam. Install the

speakers horizontally, hung by screws in

studs in a continuous flat section of the

wall.

• Have the installation done by a Sony

dealer or licensed contractor and pay

special attention to safety during the

installation.

• Sony shall not be held responsible for

accidents or damage caused by improper

installation, insufficient wall strength,

improper screw installation or natural

disaster, etc.

1 Prepare two screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the wall

mount holes on the rear of the

Sound Bar.

2 Stick WALL MOUNT TEMPLATE

(supplied) on a wall.

smooth it out fully.

When the TV Remote

Control does not Work

When the Sound Bar obstructs the

remote control sensor of the TV, the TV

remote control may not work. In that

case, enable the IR repeater function of

the Sound Bar.

You can control the TV with the TV

remote control by sending the remote

signal from the rear of the Sound Bar.

Press and hold STANDARD for 5

seconds to set the function to on or

off.

• Be sure to check that the TV remote

control cannot control the TV, and then

set the IR repeater function to on. If it is

set to on when the remote control can

control the TV, appropriate operation

may not be obtained because of the

interference between the direct

command from the remote control and

the command via the Sound Bar.

• If the IR repeater function is set to on, this

function may not work depending on

your TV. Also, the remote controls of

other devices such as an air conditioner

may not work correctly. In this case,

change the installation position of the

Sound Bar or TV.

Enjoying the Surround

Sound

You can feel immersed by the sound

from not only the horizontal direction,

but also from the upward direction by

using Vertical Surround Engine*

effectively for sound modes (page 20)

other than NEWS. This function also

works for the 2.0 channel signal such as

a TV program.

* Vertical Surround Engine is a highly

precise digital sound field processing

technology developed by Sony that

produces the sound field in the height

direction virtually in addition to a sound

field in the horizontal direction by only

using front speakers and without using

top speakers.

You do not need to install speakers on a

ceiling and you can enjoy the sound with

rich presence regardless of the ceiling

height. Also, this function is hardly

affected by the shape of a room because

it does not use the sound reflected from

a wall and enables improved surround

playback.

Press VERTICAL S. to set the function

to on or off.

• The surround effect from all directions

differs depending on the sound source.

• A time gap between the sound and

picture may occur depending on the

sound source. If your TV has a function

that delays the image, use it for

adjustment.

You can easily enjoy pre-programmed

sound effects that are tailored to

different kinds of sound sources.
