WARNING

To prevent fire or shock

hazard, do not expose

the unit to rain or

moisture.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the speaker

system and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any

further.

On power sources

• AC power cord must be changed only

at the qualified service shop.

• Before operating the speakers, check

that the operating voltage is identical

with your local power supply. The

operating voltage is indicated on the

nameplate on the rear of the speakers.

• The unit is not disconnected from the

AC power source (mains) as long as it

is connected to the wall outlet, even if

the unit itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the

speakers for a long time, be sure to

disconnect the speakers from the wall

outlet. To disconnect the AC power

cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

On placement

• Do not install the appliance in a

confined space, such as a bookcase or

built-in cabinet.

• Do not place the speakers near heat

sources, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust or

mechanical shock.

• Good ventilation is essential to

prevent internal heat buildup. Place

the speakers in a location with

adequate air circulation, and in a way

that does not block the rear

ventilation holes.

• Do not drag the unit along the floor

on installment.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls

with a soft cloth slightly moistened with

a mild detergent solution. Do not use

any type of abrasive pad, scouring

powder or solvent such as alcohol or

benzine.

If you have any question or problem

concerning your speaker system, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing the Sony

speaker system SA-F11.

The SA-F11 is an active speaker system

incorporating two front speakers and a

subwoofer.

When you connect this system to the

Sony CD/DVD player, DVP-F11, you

can enjoy 2.1-channel surround sound

even if you don’t have a receiver

(amplifier).

Using the “VES (Virtual Enhanced

Surround)” mode in the on-screen menu

of the DVP-F11 allows you to enjoy

virtual 3D sound even without rear

speakers. For details on the virtual 3D

sound, refer to the instructions supplied

with the DVP-F11.

Other components you can connect this

speaker system to:

– A DVD player equipped with a 5.1-

channel output jacks and on which

you can select whether the speakers

are connected to the unit or not.

– A DVD player equipped with a 2.1-

channel (2 front speakers and a

subwoofer) outputs.
