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.

Page 16
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.

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). However, this receiver allows you to place the centre speaker up to 1.6 meters (5.0 feet) closer (B) and the rear speakers up to 4.6 meters (15.0 feet) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 15.0 meters (3.0 to 50.0 feet) (A) from the listening position.
You can place the subwoofer in any position. You can place the rear speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room, etc.

Changing the Sound
If a DVD is recorded with multilingual tracks, you can select the language you want while playing the DVD. If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM, Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS), you can select the audio format you want while playing the DVD. With stereo CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the sound from the right or left channel and listen to the sound of the selected channel through both the right and left speakers. (In this case, the sound loses its stereo effect.) For example, when playing a disc containing a song with the vocals on the right channel and the instruments on the left channel, you can select the left channel and hear only the instruments from both speakers.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which operates these elements simultaneously.
Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the rear speakers.

Glossary
Bit rate
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (Mega bit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate is, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.
Chapter
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround sound produced by digital signal processing technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous surround sound fields mainly directed at the reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is designed specifically for the enjoyment of movies.
Dolby Digital
This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately to realize superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
74
GB
Page 75
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of rear speakers and a centre speaker. The rear speakers output monaural sound.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized because all the channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
Index (Super Audio CD/CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD)
A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on an Super Audio CD/CD or VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index may be recorded.
Multi-angle function
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video camera for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.
DVD
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double­sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version
2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programmes, programmes with search functions, and so on.

Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”
Super Audio CD
This audio format is based upon the current audio CD standards but includes a greater amount of information which provides higher quality sound. There are three types of discs: single layer, double layer and hybrid discs. The hybrid disc contains both standard audio CD and Super Audio CD information.
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data. Sounds outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs. There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and sounds.
• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.
This receiver conforms to both versions.

遙控器電池的安裝
您可以用提供的遙控器控制接收機。 裝入兩節 R6(型號 AA)電池,注意電池的 3# 極要與電池盒內的標誌一致。 使用遙控器時,要將遙控器對準接收機上的遙控 感應器 。
注意
請勿將遙控器置於過熱或過於潮濕的地方。
請勿將新電池與舊電池混用。
遙控器內切勿落入異物,尤其在更換電池時。
請勿讓陽光或發光的物品直接照射遙控感應器。否則可能會引起故障。
長期不用遙控器時請取出電池,以免因電池泄漏和腐蝕可能引起的損害。
步驟 1:揚聲器系統的連接
您可以通過將 5 個揚聲器(前置左∕右揚聲器,中置揚聲器,後置左∕右揚聲器) 和有源低音揚聲器連接至本接收機來欣賞環繞聲。如果您未在接收機上連接 5 個揚聲器 和有源低音揚聲器,接收機則根據連接的揚聲器數量优化環繞信號。在接收機上連接 2 個 揚聲器時,請將揚聲器連接至 SPEAKERS FRONT L/R 插孔。
注意
務必將揚聲器導線連接至合適的端子:3 3# # ,L 至 L,以及 R 至 R 插孔。
請使用高性能的揚聲器。
請使用同一尺寸和性能的前置,中置和後置揚聲器。
要獲得盡可能好的環繞聲,請指定第 23 頁中的揚聲器參數(數量,距離,音量等級等)。

避免揚聲器短路
揚聲器短路可能會引起對接收機的損害。為避免出現這種情況,連接揚聲器時一定 要遵循以下注意事項。每個揚聲器連線的電線裸露部分必須不能碰到其它揚聲器接線端 或其它揚聲器連線的電線裸露部分。
揚聲器連線的錯誤情況舉例
揚聲器連線的電線裸露部分 與其它揚聲器接線端接觸
由於絕緣面移除而使電線裸露部 分互相接觸
在連接完所有的組件、揚聲器和交流電源線(幹線導線)後,輸出一個測試聲音以 檢測所有的揚聲器是否連接正確。輸出測試聲音的詳細說明請參閱第 26 頁。
如果輸出測試聲音時揚聲器中沒有聲音,或者播放出聲音的揚聲器不是前面板顯示 幕內當前顯示的揚聲器,則揚聲器可能短路。這種情況下須重新檢查揚聲器的連接。
注意
揚聲器連線要與組件上正確的接線端相連接: 33, ##。 如果連線接反,聲音將會失真及
缺少低音部分。
如果您使用下限最大輸入額定功率的前置揚聲器,請小心調整音量,以免揚聲器上的輸出過大。
