Precautions
This equipment has been tested and

if the unit itself has been turned
off.
As the main plug is used to
disconnect the unit from the
mains, connect the unit to an
easily accessible AC outlet.
Should you notice an abnormality
in the unit, disconnect the main
plug from the AC outlet
immediately.
On watching 3D video
images
Some people may experience
discomfort (such as eye strain,
fatigue, or nausea) while watching
3D video images. Sony
recommends that all viewers take
regular breaks while watching 3D
video images. The length and
frequency of necessary breaks will
vary from person to person. You
must decide what works best. If you
experience any discomfort, you
should stop watching the 3D video
images until the discomfort ends;
consult a doctor if you believe
necessary. You should also review
(i) the instruction manual and/or the
caution message of any other
device used with, or Blu-ray Disc
contents played with this product
and (ii) our website (http://
esupport.sony.com/) for the latest
information. The vision of young
children (especially those under six
years old) is still under
development. Consult your doctor
(such as a pediatrician or eye
doctor) before allowing young
children to watch 3D video images.
Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.

Getting Started
Step 1: Installing the
System
Install the system by referring to the illustration
below.
A Front speaker (L (left))
B Front speaker (R (right))
C Subwoofer
D Unit
Since the system is equipped with S-Force PRO
Front Surround* technology, you can enjoy
surround sound with the speakers in front of the
listening position.
* S-Force PRO Front Surround 3D reproduces a
convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in
a true surround sound experience without the need
for rear speakers.
• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or
speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially
treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining
or discoloration may result.
• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.
You can install the speakers on a wall. For details,
refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.”
Step 2: Connecting the
System
Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead)
of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the
other connections are made.
To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied
“Speaker Installation Guide.” (BDV-EF420
only)
When you connect another component with a volume
control, turn down the volume of the other
components to a level where sound is not distorted.
Connect the speaker cords to match the color of
the SPEAKERS jacks of the unit.
When connecting to the unit, insert the
connector until it clicks.

Before performing the network
settings
When your wireless LAN router (access point)
is Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)-compatible,
you can easily set the network settings with the
WPS button.
If not, check the following information in
advance, and record it in the space provided
below.
The network name (SSID*) that identifies
your network**.
If security is set on your wireless network, the
security key (WEP key, WPA key)**.
* SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that
identifies a particular wireless network.
** You need to check the settings of your wireless
LAN router to get the information about SSID and
security key. For details:
visit the following website:
For customers in Europe and Russia:
http://support.sony-europe.com/hub/hub.html

About wireless LAN security
Since communication via the wireless LAN
function is established by radio waves, the
wireless signal may be susceptible to
interception. To protect wireless
communication, this system supports various
security functions. Be sure to correctly
configure the security settings in accordance
with your network environment.
x No Security
Although you can easily make settings, anyone
can intercept wireless communication or intrude
into your wireless network, even without any
sophisticated tools. Keep in mind that there is a
risk of unauthorized access or interception of
data.
x WEP
WEP applies security to communications to
prevent outsiders from intercepting
communications or intruding into your wireless
network. WEP is a legacy security technology
that enables older devices which do not support
TKIP/AES to be connected.
x WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)
TKIP is a security technology developed in
response to the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP
assures a higher security level than WEP.
x WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)
AES is a security technology that uses an
advanced security method distinct from WEP
and TKIP.
AES assures a higher security level than WEP or
TKIP.

Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or
place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or
shower room. Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it
checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with
wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
On power sources
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if you do
not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord.
On placement
Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet
becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do
not place the system in a confined space where
ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything
on the system. The system is equipped with a high
power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,
the system can overheat and malfunction.
Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may
block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as
a bookshelf or similar unit.
Do not install the system near heat sources such as
radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
• Do not install the system in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
Keep the system and discs away from components
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.
Do not place heavy objects on the system.
• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel.
They may limit reception of radio waves.
• Do not place the system in a place where medical
equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of
medical equipment.
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device,
consult your physician or the manufacturer of your
medical device before using the wireless LAN
function.
On operation
If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture
may condense on the lenses inside the unit. Should
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In
this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned
on for about half an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
