5 minute guide
Introduction to home theater
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you’re in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on your speaker setup, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Listening to your system on page 33.
Listening to Surround Sound
With the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.
•Be sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC power source.
1 Connect your TV and Blu-ray Disc player or DVD player.
See Connecting a TV and Blu-ray Disc player or DVD player on page 14 to do this. For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the BD/DVD player to the receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for optimal surround sound.
See Connecting the speakers on page 22.
Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best surround sound effect. Also see Placing the speakers on page 24 for more on this.

•To connect the surround back speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURROUND BACK outputs of this unit and connect the surround back speakers to the additional amplifier. For details, see Use the PRE OUT outputs to connect the surround back speakers on page 23.
3Plug in and switch on the receiver, followed by your BD/DVD player, subwoofer and TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.
4Use the on-screen automatic MCACC setup to set up your system.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 9 for more on this.

5 Play a BD/DVD, and adjust the volume.
Make sure that BD/DVD is showing in the receiver’s display. If it isn’t, press BD on the remote to set the receiver to the BD/DVD input.1
There are several other sound options you can select. See Listening to your system on page 33 for more on this.2
Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.
Important
•The Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings you’ve made.
•Before using the Auto MCACC Setup, the iPod USB function should not be selected as an input source.
Caution
•The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC Setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.
With the Phase Control mode switched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass sound without deteriorating the quality of the original sound (see illustration below).

Better sound using Phase Control
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound (see illustration below).
During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels.

• Press RECEIVER, then press PHASE to switch on phase correction.
Note
1Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.
• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
•Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value.
•If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.
•The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:
–When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
–When the MULTI IN input is selected.

Making cable connections
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit (as shown in the illustration). If this happens, the magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise from the speakers.
Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVIcompliant displays.
Important
•Before making or changing connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
•Before unplugging the power cord, switch the power into standby.
HDMI cables
The HDMI cables transfers uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the connected component is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD, SACD (DSD 2 ch only) and 192 kHz/
8 ch (Max. number of channel inputs) PCM.1
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
This receiver is also compatible with the DeepColor and x.v.Color feature (x.v.Color is trademarks of Sony Corporation).
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
HDMI cable
Note
1• Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 38 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in Choosing the input signal on page 40 to HDMI, if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be heard from this receiver).
•If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a (analog) composite connection.
•The signals input from the analog (composite and component) video inputs of this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT.

Video cables
Standard RCA video cables
These cables are the most common type of video connection and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
Component video cables
Use component video cables to get the best possible color reproduction of your video source. The color signal of the TV is divided into the luminance (Y) signal and the color (PB and PR) signals and then output. In this way, interference between the signals is avoided.
Component video cables

About video outputs connection
This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you use component video cables or HDMI cables for connecting to the input device, the same cables should be used for connecting to the TV.
Standard RCA video cable
Note
1• When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.
•When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
•You can also use a standard RCA video cable for coaxial digital connections.

1 If your video component has an HDMI output, connect it to an HDMI DVR/VCR IN on this receiver.
If your video component does not have an HDMI audio output but a digital audio output, connect it to a digital input on this receiver.
The example shows a recorder connected to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN 2 (AUX) input.1
2 Connect a set of audio/video outputs on the recorder to the DVR/VCR AUDIO and VIDEO inputs on this receiver.
Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio connection and a standard RCA video cable for the video connection.2
3 Connect a set of audio/video inputs on the recorder to the DVR/VCR AUDIO and VIDEO outputs on this receiver.
Use a stereo RCA phono cable for the audio connection and a standard RCA video cable for the video connection.
Note
1In this case, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the component to (see Choosing the input signal on page 40).
2If your video component also has a component video output, you can connect this too. See Using the component video jacks on page 19 for more on this.

Connecting up
Using the component video jacks
Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.

Use a three-way component video cable for the connection.
2 If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected.
This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:
•COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1 – BD/DVD
•COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2 – TV/SAT
See The Input Assign menu on page 44 for more on this.
3 Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on this receiver to the component video inputs on your TV or monitor.

03 Connecting up
Connecting the speakers
A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on
page 42) to LARGE.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 24 when placing the speakers in another room. See Switching the speaker system on page 25 for the listening options with this setup.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.
However, note that only the front speakers are set to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω if you select SP AB in Switching the speaker system on page 25.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.
•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.
•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV.
•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
•If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
•Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.
•It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.
•Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.
Note
1• This layout is available only when the additional amplifier is connected to the unit and the surround back speakers are connected to the amplifier. For details, see Use the PRE OUT outputs to connect the surround back speakers on page 23.
• When the Surround back channel processing is set to SB CH ON (see page 37) in this layout, sound is output from the surround back speakers even with the use of 5.1ch input signal.

•If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the UP Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 37).
•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
Caution
•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
Switching the speaker system
Three speaker system settings are possible using the SPEAKERS button.
• Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a speaker system setting.1
SPEAKERS
MULTI-ZONE
CONTROL ON/OFF
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:
•SP A – Sound is output from the speakers connected to the A speaker terminals and
SURROUND BACK PRE OUT
(multichannel playback is possible).
•SP B – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to speaker system B (only stereo playback is possible).
•SP AB – Sound is output from speaker system A, the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only when the STEREO or A.L.C mode is selected for stereo output from speaker systems A and B.2
•SP – No sound is output from the speakers but from the headphone jack.
Español Nederlands Italiano Français Deutsch English
Note
1The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 42. However, if SP B is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
2You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω. However, be aware that only the front speakers are set to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SP AB.
