US
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.
This equipment must not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC
radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets
the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines. This equipment has very low
levels of RF energy that is deemed to
comply without maximum permissive
exposure evaluation (MPE).

If the system is connected to a TV’s
HDMI IN jack compatible with Audio
Return Channel, you can listen to TV
sound from the speakers of the system
without connecting an optical digital
cable.
On the system, set “AUD >” – “TV AU” to
“AUTO” (page 16). The default setting is
“AUTO”.
If the TV is not compatible with Audio
Return Channel, an optical digital cable
needs to be connected (Refer to the
supplied Startup Guide).
When you play content on a device
(Blu-ray Disc player, “PlayStation®4”,
etc.) connected to the TV, the system
and TV are turned on automatically, the
input of the system is switched to the
input for the TV, and sound is output
from the speakers of the system.
• If the TV sound was output from the
speakers of the TV the previous time you
watched the TV, the system does not turn
on and the sound and picture are output
from the TV even if device content is
played.
• Depending on the TV, the beginning part
of content being played may not play
correctly.
Using the “BRAVIA” Sync
function
In addition to the Control for HDMI
function, you can also use the following
function on devices compatible with the

Mounting the Bar
Speaker on a wall
You can mount the Bar Speaker 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 to two studs in the wall beam.
Install the Bar Speaker horizontally, hung
by screws in studs in a continuous flat
section of the wall.
• Be sure to subcontract the installation to
Sony dealers or licensed contractors 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
calamity, etc.
1 Fix the supplied wall mounting
brackets to the bracket fixing
holes on the bottom of the Bar
Speaker with the supplied screws
so that the surface of each wall
mounting bracket is as shown in
the illustration.
Fix the two wall mounting brackets
to the left and right fixing holes on
the bottom of the Bar Speaker.
