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)

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.

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 center 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.

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.

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.

The auto decoding function automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation). However, if there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.), it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer.

SOUND FIELD

Enjoying Surround Sound

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home. To select the sound field, press AUTO DEC, 2CH ST, or MODE on the receiver or SOUND FIELD on the remote repeatedly until the sound field you want appears on the front panel display.

About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)

In the collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and Sony’s own DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop “Digital Cinema Sound”. “Digital Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of movie director.

Enjoying movies with Cinema Studio EX

Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the movie software encoded with multi channel format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studios.

Press MODE on the receiver or SOUND FIELD on the remote repeatedly until “C.S.EX A (or B, C)” appears on the front panel display.

C.S.EX A (Cinema Studio EX A)

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Cary Grant Theater” cinema production studio. This is a standard mode, great for watching most any type of movie.

C.S.EX B (Cinema Studio EX B)

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak Theater” cinema production studio. This mode is ideal for watching science-fiction or action movies with lots of sound effects.

C.S.EX C (Cinema Studio EX C)

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This mode is ideal for watching musicals or classic films where music is featured in the soundtrack.

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.

Selecting other sound fields

Press MODE on the receiver or SOUND FIELD on the remote repeatedly until the sound field you want appears on the front panel display.

HP . THEA TER (Headphone Theater)

When you connect your headphone to the PHONES jack of the receiver, the HEADPHONE THEATER mode allows you to experience a theater like environment while listening through a pair of headphones. This mode is very effective with 5.1 ch discrete signal sources like Dolby Digital and DTS. Selecting any Sound Field selections (except AUTO DECODING or 2 CH STEREO) enables the mode.

The receiver memorises the last sound

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.

z You can identify the encoding format of

program software by looking at its packaging

– Dolby Digital discs are labelled with the logo. – Dolby Surround encoded programs are labelled

with the logo.

– DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.

What is the Radio Data System?

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features such as station name display. RDS is available only for FM stations.*

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.

Naming Preset Stations

You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset stations. These names (for example, “XYZ”) appear in the receiver’s front panel display when a station is selected. Note that no more than one name can be entered for each preset station.

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

Additional Information

Page 78

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.

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.

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour prévenir tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, garder cet appareil à l’abri de la pluie et de l’humidité.

N’installez pas l’appareil dans un endroit confiné comme une bibliothèque ou une armoire. Pour prévenir tout risque d’incendie, ne recouvrez pas les orifices de ventilation de l’appareil avec des journaux, des nappes, des rideaux, etc. Ne placez pas non plus de bougies allumées sur l’appareil. Pour prévenir tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, ne placez d’objets remplis de liquides, comme des vases, sur l’appareil.

Cet appareil fait partie des produits CLASS 1 LASER. L’étiquette est située sur la partie externe, sous l’appareil.

Ne jetez pas la batterie avec les déchets ménagers, éliminez–la correctement comme un déchet chimique.

Précautions

Sécurité

• Si un objet ou du liquide venait à pénétrer à l’intérieur du boîtier, débranchez l’appareil et faites-le vérifier par un personnel qualifié avant du remettre en marche.

• L’appareil n’est pas déconnecté du secteur tant qu’il reste branché sur la prise secteur, même s’il a été mis, proprement dit, hors tension.

• Débranchez l’appareil de la prise murale si vous prévoyez de ne pas l’utiliser pendant une longue période. Pour débrancher le cordon, tirez sur la fiche, ne tirez jamais sur le cordon lui-même.

Installation

• N’installez pas l’appareil dans un espace confiné comme dans une bibliothèque ou un meuble encastré.

• Prévoyez une circulation d’air suffisante de manière à éviter toute surchauffe interne.

• Ne placez pas l’appareil sur une surface moelleuse (comme un tapis, une couverture, etc.) ou près de tissus (comme un rideau ou une tenture) risquant de bloquer les fentes d’aération.

• N’installez pas l’appareil à proximité de sources de chaleur telles que des radiateurs ou des conduites d’air chaud, ni à des endroits exposés à la lumière directe du soleil, à une poussière excessive, à des vibrations mécaniques ou à des chocs.

• N’installez pas l’appareil en position inclinée. L’appareil est conçu pour fonctionner uniquement à l’horizontale.

• Gardez l’appareil et les disques à l’écart de tout équipement contenant des aimants magnétiques puissants, par exemple des fours à micro-ondes ou de puissants haut-parleurs.

• Ne posez pas d’objets lourds sur l’appareil.

• Si vous transportez l’appareil directement d’une pièce froide dans une pièce chaude, de l’humidité peut apparaître par condensation à l’intérieur de l’appareil et endommager les lentilles. La première fois que vous installez l’appareil ou lorsque vous le déplacez d’un endroit frais vers un endroit chaud, attendez environ une heure avant du faire fonctionner.

Félicitations !

Nous vous remercions d’avoir fait l’acquisition de ce récepteur Super Audio CD/DVD de Sony. Avant de la faire fonctionner, lisez attentivement ce mode d’emploi et conservez-le pour toute référence ultérieure.

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 projection sont particulièrement sensibles à ce phénomène.
