About the surround back speaker
You can enjoy 7.1 surround sound with the surround back speakers by purchasing the additional 
surround amplifier (optional). Use the commercially available speakers for the surround back speakers.
To use the surround amplifier for the surround back speakers, connect the surround back speakers (not 
supplied) to the surround amplifier, see “Using an S-AIR Product” (page 99). 
Note Avoid placing obstructions around the speaker.
 After installing the speakers, arrange the speaker cords so as not to topple the speakers by catching the speaker cords 
with your foot.
 Avoid placing the center speaker on the TV.
 Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
 Avoid placing the speakers in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
 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 use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
 Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
 Do not bend, twist, or fold the speaker grille. (BDV-IT1000 only)
 Do not insert an object (especially metal) into a hole on the front part of the speaker. (BDV-IT1000 only)
 Avoid placing the speakers close to a CRT-based TV. It may cause color irregularity. (BDV-IT1000 only)
 When using the speaker stands, we recommend that the speakers are installed on a flat and firm floor (not on a thick 
pile carpet, for example). The speakers may topple over if installed on an inclined or soft floor.
Tip When you change the positions of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see 
“Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 108) and “Setting the Speakers” (page 110).

 You may not get the bass sound efficiently when the subwoofer is placed outside (3). You need to adjust the setting 
of the distance from the listening position.
