Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing this Sony Super Audio CD/DVD receiver. Before operating this receiver, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

Precautions

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• 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.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the receiver.

• 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 unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the receiver. The receiver is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the receiver on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the receiver in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the receiver 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 receiver. Should this occur, the receiver may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the receiver turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the receiver, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• For power saving purposes, the receiver can be completely turned off by the POWER button on the main unit. Though the LED remains lit for a while, the receiver is completely off.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.

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 questions or problems concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On your TV’s colour

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have colour irregularity, turn off the TV at once then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the set.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This receiver is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

Getting Started

Quick Overview

This chapter presents a quick overview so you can begin enjoying your new receiver right away. For selecting a language used in the on-screen display, refer to page 64. For selecting the aspect ratio of the TV to be connected, refer to page 65.

Unpacking

Check that you have the following items:

• AM loop antenna (1)

• FM wire antenna (1)

• S Video cord (1)

• Remote Commander (remote) RM-SP10 (1)

• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)

Getting Started

Inserting Batteries into the Remote

You can control the receiver using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When using the remote, point it at the remote sensor on the receiver.

Notes

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

You can enjoy surround sound by connecting 5 speakers (front L/R speakers, centre speaker, rear L/R speakers) and active subwoofer to the receiver. If you do not connect 5 speakers and active subwoofer to the receiver, the receiver optimizes the surround signal depending on the number of connected speakers. When you connect 2 speakers to the receiver, connect the speakers to the SPEAKERS FRONT L/R jacks.

Notes

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal: 3 to 3, # to #, L to L, and R to R jack.

• Use the high performance speakers.

• Use the same size and performance speakers for the front, centre, and rear speakers.

• To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (number, distance, level, etc.) on page

23.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 26. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Notes

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

Step 2: Antenna Hookups

Connect the supplied AM/FM antennas for listening to the radio.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver with the TV/SAT (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN) jack

The digital satellite receiver can be connected to the TV/SAT (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN) jack instead of the TV/SAT (AUDIO L/R IN) jacks of the system. The system can accept both the digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver without the TV/SAT (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN) jack

Connect the digital satellite receiver to the TV/SAT (AUDIO L/R IN) jacks only of the system.

Setup for the system (for Asian models)

Setup is necessary for the system, depending on the TV monitor to be connected. The initial setting for Asian models is NTSC.

If the colour system of the TV is PAL* To set the system to PAL, turn on the system by pressing [/1 on the remote while pressing X (pause) button on the system. You need to hold the X button until AVD-S10 appears on the display. To reset to NTSC, turn off the system and then turn on again using the remote while pressing the X button on the system. *If the colour system of the TV is NTSC, do the same operation above to set the system to

NTSC.

Connecting the AC Power Cord (mains lead)

Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead) of this system to a wall outlet (mains), connect the speakers to the system (see page 17). Connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of your TV/video components to a wall outlet (mains).

Speaker Setup

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
