Precautions
Safety
• If anything falls into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from
the mains as long as it is
connected to the mains outlet,
even if the unit itself has been
turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall
outlet if you do not intend to use it
for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by
the plug, never by the cord.
Installing
• Do not install the appliance in a
confined space, such as a bookcase
or built-in cabinet.
• Allow adequate air circulation to
prevent internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near
materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat
sources such as radiators, or air
ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust,
mechanical vibration, or shock.
• Do not install the unit in an
inclined position. It is designed to
be operated in a horizontal
position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from
equipment with strong magnets,
such as microwave ovens, or large
loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from
a cold to a warm location,
moisture may condense inside the
receiver and cause damage to the
lenses. When you first install the
unit, or when you move it from a
cold to a warm location, wait for
about 30 minutes before operating
the unit.

Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments with
this product will increase eye hazard.
• 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
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 color
If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
color irregularity, turn off the TV at once then
turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color
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 the page 66.
For selecting the aspect ratio of the TV to be connected, refer to the page 67.
Unpacking
Check that you have the following items:
• AM loop antenna (1)
• FM wire antenna (1)
• SCART (EURO AV) cord (1)
• Remote Commander (remote) RM-SP50 (1)
• R6 (size AA) batteries (2)
16
GB
Page 17
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
Getting Started
You can enjoy surround sound by connecting 5 speakers (front L/R speakers, center 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 offers the means to optimize 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, center, and rear speakers.
• To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (number, distance, level, etc.) on page
25.

Note for connecting the speaker cords to the receiver
Remove about 10 mm of insulation at the end of the cord, then twist the exposed wires.
Connect the stripped ends of the cords to the terminals, taking care to avoid mutual contact
between the cords.
Make sure the cords are firmly connected to the speaker and receiver terminals.
10mm
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
Getting Started
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 27.
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.
• When connecting the stripped ends of the speaker cords, make sure the ends do not touch each other or
neighbouring terminals.

About MP3 audio tracks
You can play MP3 audio tracks on CDROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the
discs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for
the player to recognize the tracks. You can
also play discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device
or recording software (not supplied) for
details on the recording format.
To play a Multi Session CD
This player can play Multi Session CDs
when an MP3 audio track is located in the
first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio
tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can
also be played back.
When audio tracks and images in music CD
format or video CD format are recorded in
the first session, only the first session will be
played back.
Notes
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3
format, the player cannot recognize the data
properly and will generate a loud noise which could
damage your speaker system.
• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO
format.
You can play the contents of a disc in the
order you want by arranging the order of the
tracks on the disc to create your own

About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three elements.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers
surrounding the listener from a single pair
of actual rear speakers.
• Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come
from inside the image reflected on the
movie screen. This element creates the
same sensation in your listening room by
shifting the sound of the front speakers
“into” the screen.
• 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.

mode.
The receiver memorises the last sound
z
field selected for each function mode (Sound
Field Link)
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to the
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field,
then change to another function, and then return to
DVD, HALL will be applied again. With the tuner,
sound fields are memorized separately for all preset
stations.

Glossary
Album
Section of a music piece on a data CD
containing MP3 audio tracks.
Chapter
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a
DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is
composed of several chapters.
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.
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 center speaker.
The rear speakers output monaural sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five fullbandwidth output channels from twochannel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround
decoder that extracts the spatial properties of
the original recording without adding any
new sounds or tonal colorations.
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo
television shows and all programs encoded
in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the
quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any stereo
music recordings, and provides a wide and
deep sound space.
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
the all channel data is recorded discrete and
processed in digital.
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.
GB
78
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.
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.
Film based software, Video based
software
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames (or 60 fields) per second.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
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.
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.
Page 79
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 programs,
programs with search functions, and so on.
Region Code
This receiver is used to protect copyrights. A
region number is allocated on each DVD
system or DVD disc according to the sales
region. Each region code is shown on the
receiver as well as on the disc packaging.
The receiver can play the discs that match its
region code. The receiver can also play discs
ALL
with the “
” mark. Even when the region
code is not shown on the DVD, the region
limit may still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens,
moving pictures and still pictures are
divided into sections called “scenes.”
Title
The longest sections of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
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.
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.
Additional Information
Track
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a
Super Audio CD, CD, VIDEO CD or MP3.
An album is composed of several tracks
(MP3 only).

Précautions
Sécurité
• Attention – L’utilisation d’instruments optiques
avec ce produit augmente le risque de lésion
oculaire.
• Si un objet ou du liquide venait à pénétrer à
l’intérieur du boîtier, débranchez le récepteur et
faites-la vérifier par un personnel qualifié avant
de la remettre en marche.
Alimentation
Le cordon d’alimentation doit être remplacé
uniquement dans un centre de service
après-vente qualifié.
Installation
• Installez le récepteur dans un endroit
suffisamment ventilé pour éviter toute
surchauffe interne.
• En cas de volume élevé sur de longues périodes,
le boîtier devient chaud au toucher. Il ne s’agit
pas d’un dysfonctionnement. Cependant, il est
conseillé de ne pas le toucher. N’installez pas
l’appareil dans un espace confiné où la
ventilation est faible car il y a un risque de
surchauffe.
• Ne bouchez pas les orifices de ventilation en
posant quelque chose sur le récepteur. Le
système est équipé d’un amplificateur haute
puissance. Si les orifices de ventilation de la
partie supérieure sont bouchés, le récepteur peut
surchauffer et mal fonctionner.
• N’installez pas le récepteur sur une surface
molle, telle qu’un tapis, qui risquerait de
boucher les orifices de ventilation situés sous le
récepteur.
• N’installez pas votre récepteur à proximité de
sources de chaleur ou dans un endroit soumis
aux rayons du soleil, à une poussière excessive
ou à des chocs mécaniques.
Fonctionnement
• Si le récepteur est transportée directement d’un
endroit froid à un endroit chaud ou si elle est
installée dans une pièce très humide, de la
condensation risque de se former sur l’optique
située à l’intérieur du récepteur. Si cela se
produit, votre récepteur risque de ne pas
fonctionner correctement. Dans ce cas, retirez le
disque et laissez le récepteur sous tension
pendant environ 30 minutes jusqu’à ce que
l’humidité se soit complètement évaporée.
• Avant de déplacer votre récepteur, retirez tous
les disques. Sinon, vous risquez de les
endommager.
• Par souci d’économie d’énergie, le système peut
être mis complètement hors tension à l’aide de
l’interrupteur POWER du récepteur principal.
Bien que le voyant reste allumé pendant
quelques temps, le système est complètement
hors tension.
Réglage du volume
N’augmentez pas le volume lorsque vous écoutez
un passage avec de très faibles niveaux d’entrée
ou sans signal audio. Vous risqueriez
d’endommager les enceintes au moment du
passage caractérisé par un niveau sonore de crête.
Entretien
Nettoyez le boîtier, le panneau et les commandes
avec un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une
solution détergente neutre. N’utilisez pas de
tampons abrasifs, de poudre à récurer ou de
solvant tel que l’alcool ou la benzine.
Pour toute question ou tout problème concernant
votre récepteur, n’hésitez pas à consulter votre
revendeur Sony le plus proche.
Entretien des disques
N’utilisez pas les disques de nettoyage CD/DVD
disponibles dans le commerce. Ils risquent
d’endommager votre récepteur.
Couleurs de votre écran de téléviseur
Si les enceintes entraînent des irrégularités de
couleur sur votre écran de téléviseur, mettez ce
dernier hors tension, puis remettez-le sous tension
15 à 30 minutes après. Si les irrégularités de
couleurs persistent, éloignez les enceintes du
téléviseur.
IMPORTANT
Attention : Ce récepteur est capable de
maintenir indéfiniment l’affichage d’une
image vidéo fixe ou d’un menu sur l’écran de
votre téléviseur. En laissant une image vidéo
fixe ou un menu aff iché sur votre téléviseur
pendant une période prolongée, vous risquez
de provoquer des dommages irréversibles au
niveau de votre écran. Les téléviseurs de
