Getting Started

Notes on speaker cords

• The connector of the speaker cords are the

same colour as the speaker jack to be

connected. When connecting a speaker cord,

be sure to match the coloured connector to

the speaker jack on the subwoofer:

• Be sure to match the speaker cords to the

appropriate terminals on the speakers: the

speaker cord with the colour tube to e

terminal, and the speaker cord without the

colour tube to E terminal.

To connect the speakers

correctly

Check the speaker type by referring to the

speaker label at the rear panel of the speakers.

For details on the speaker type, see page 5 (for

HT-AF5 only) or page 6 (for HT-AS5 only)

3: Connecting the audio/

video components

Before connecting the cords, be sure to

disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

It is not necessary to connect all the cords.

Connect audio and video cords according to

the jacks of your components.

After hooking up all your components,

proceed to “4: Connecting the antennas

(aerials)” (page 25).

Sony recommends that you connect

components to the system using an HDMI

cable.

By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync

compatible components using HDMI cables,

““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes

operations simpler (page 41).

When connecting components that are not

compatible with “BRAVIA” Sync, set

“CTRL HDMI” to “CTRL OFF” in the SET

HDMI menu (page 43).
