• 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 loca tion near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shoc k.

On operation

• If the receiver is brought dire ct ly f r om a col d to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room , moisture may condense on th e lense s 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 abou t ha lf an hour until the moisture evapor ates.

• When you move the receiver, take out any disc. 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.

Note for connecting the speaker cords to the receiver

Remove about 10 mm (3/8 inch) 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 contact between the cords. Make sure the cor ds are firmly connected to the speak er and receiver terminals.

10 mm

(3/8 in.)

To avoid short -circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, be su re 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 speaker cord connection

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) , outpu t a test to ne to check that all the speakers are connec te d correctly. For det ai ls on outputting a test to ne, see page 72. If no sound is heard from a speaker while output t i ng a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one curren tly disp laye d in the f ront pa nel disp lay, the spe aker may be shor t-cir cuited. If this happens, check t he speaker connectio n 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 distor te d 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 1.5 metres a) closer (B) and the surround and the surround back speakers up to 4.5 metres b) closer (C, D) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 0.9 to

6.9 metres c) (A) from the listening position.

Canadian numerical equivalents: a) 5 feet (1.5 metres) b) 15 feet (4.5 metres) c) 3 to 23 feet (0.9 to 6.9 metres)

Place speakers as illustrate d belo w

When color irregularity occurs on the TV

If speakers are i nstalled too close, color irregularity may occur on the screen. If color irregularity occurs, tu rn off the TV set once, th en turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity occurs again, place th e s ubw oofer farther away from the TV set. If color irregularity still occurs after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is placed near the subwoofer. Color irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the subwoofer and the magnetic object. Examples of possib le sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand, etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.

Specifying the speaker parameters

Note

Do not place the center, surround and the surround back speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

Use the test tone to adjust the speaker level and balance to the same lev el . Select “SPEAKER SET U P” i n t he setup display. For details, see “Settings for the Speakers” (page 70). Also change th e i mpe dan ce val ue de pend in g on your speaker’s impedance. For details, see “Changing the Speaker Impedance Value” (page 50).

Glossary

Album

Section of a music pi ece or an image on a da t a CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG files.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters .

Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)

This is the generic name of the surround sound produced by digit al si gnal processing technolog y develope d by Sony. Unl ike previ ous surround sound fi el ds mainly directed at the reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is designed specifically for the enjoyment of movies.

Dolby Digital

This mov ie theatre sound format is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logi c. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This for m at is al so called “5.1,” with the subwoofer channel designated as th e 0 .1 chan nel (si nce it f un ct ions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the s igna ls ar e pr oc esse d di gi ta lly , les s signal degradat i on occurs.

Dolby Digital EX

An enhanced compatible format of Dolby Digital 5.1, developed by Dolby Lab oratories and Lucasfilm THX, which adds an extra surround back ch annel, and can be use d for

6.1(three surr ound speakers) channel playback, using matrix encoding.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity m at rix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the origina l recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colora t ions.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all prog rams encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced so undfield directionality tha t a pproaches the qualit y of discrete 5.1-ch annel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is f or use with an y stereo musi c recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro Log ic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Lo gi c produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the form er D olby Surround system, Dolb y Surround Pro Logic r eproduces left-to-r i ght panning more natur al ly and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advant age of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speak ers output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format comprises of stereo surround channels and a discrete subwoofer channel. DTS provides the same 5. 1 di screte channels of hi gh quality digital audio. Superior channel separation is realized due to all ch annel data being recorded discretely and processed digitally.

DTS-ES

An enhanced compatible format of 5.1 channel, which adds an extra surround back channel. There are two form ats: Discrete 6.1 , which processes the surround back signa l independently, and Matrix 6.1, which processes it along with the Surr ound (L/R) channel s.

DVD

A disc that contain s 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 singlesided 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 double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 G B . The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The pict ur e data is compressed to about 1/40 of its orig inal size. DVD also uses variable rat e co ding technology that processes allocated data 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 realistic audio pr esence. Furthermor e, various advanced functions s uc h as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

File

Section of a picture on a data CD containing JPEG image files.

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 theatres. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Interlace format (Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second. Each fra m e i s s canned twice alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd nu m bered scanning lines , at 60 times per second.

Multi-angle function

Various angles of a s cene, or viewpoints of the video camera are recorded on some DVD s.

Multilingual function

Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Neo:6

Developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., applies a conventional 2-channel or D olby Digital source signal to a high-precision, digital matrix decoder to achieve 6.1 channel surround playback. CINEMA mode allows for more separation of

channels to enhance the 6.1 channel ef fect, and is best suited for movies. MUSIC mode allows the front L and R channels to go unprocess ed for optimum stereo, with the addition of the sur ro und components ad di ng a special quality to the sound.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit p layback of the disc by the age of th e vi ewer 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 sk ipped or repla ced with other s cenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu sc reens recorded on V I D E O CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive program s, programs with search functions, and so on.

Progressive format (sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive format can reproduce 60 frames per second by repro ducing all scanning li nes (525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is compatible wi th the 525 progressive format.

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 r egion. Eac h 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 re ceiver can also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even

ALL

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, m ovi ng pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes.”

Super Audio CD

A Super Audio CD di sc can reproduce sou n ds that are extremely faithful to the original sound by use of DSD (Direct Stream Digital) technology. This technology util izes a sampling frequency of 2.8224 MHz, which is 64 times that of a conventional CD, and 1-bit quantization that enables the disc to hold 4 times the amount of information that a standar d PCM format CD can hold. Super Audio CDs are divided into the following types.

• Super Audi o CD (single layer disc) This disc consis t s of a single HD layer*.

* High density signal layer for the Super Audio CD

HD (high density) layer

Précautions

Sécurité

• Si un objet ou du liquide venait à pénétrer à l’intérieur du boîtier, débranchez l’ap pa rei l et fait es-le vérifier par un personnel qualifié avant de le reme ttre en marche.

• L’appareil n’est pas déconne ct é du sec te ur ta nt qu’ il reste branché sur la pri se secteur, m ême s’il a ét é mis, proprement dit, hors tension.

• Débranchez l’appareil de la pris e m ur ale si vous prévoyez de ne pas l’utiliser penda nt 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’ai r su ffisante 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) risqua nt de bloquer les fentes d’aération.

• N’installez pas l’appareil à proximité de sources de chaleur telles que des radiat eu rs ou des cond uites 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’a ppa re il en position inclinée. L’appareil est conçu pour fonction n e r unique m ent 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-parleur s.

• Ne posez pas d’objets lourds sur l’ ap pa reil.

• Si vous transportez l’appareil directement d’une pièce froide dans une pièce chaude, de l’humidité peut apparaître par condensation à l’inté r ie ur 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 de le faire fonctionner.

Félicitations !

Nous vous remercions d’avoir fait l’acquisition de cet ampli-tuner Sup er Audio CD/DVD de Sony. Avant de le faire fonctionner, lisez attentiv ement ce mod e d’empl oi et cons ervez- le pour toute référence ultérieure.

Précautions

Sécurité

Si un objet ou du liquide venait à pénétrer à l’intérieur du boîtier, débranchez l’ampli-tuner et faites-le vérifier par un personnel qualifié avan t de le r em e ttr e en marche.

Installation

• Installez l’ampli-tuner dans un endroit suffisamment ventilé pour éviter toute surcha uf f e in te rne.

• En cas de volume élevé sur de longues péri ode s, 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’appar e il da ns un espace confiné où la ventilation est faible car il y a un risque de surchauffe.

• Ne bouchez pas les orifices de vent il at ion e n posant quelque chose sur l’ampli-t une r. Le systè me est équipé d’un amplificateur haute puissance. Si les orifices de ventilation de la partie supérieure sont bouchés, l’ampli-tu ne r peut surchauffer et mal fonctionner.

• N’installez pas l’ampli-tuner sur une surface molle, telle qu’un tapis, qui risquerait de boucher les orifices de ventilation situés sous l’ampli-tuner.

• N’installez pas votre ampli-tuner à proximité de sources de chaleur ou dans un endroit soum is a ux rayons du soleil, à une poussière exce ssive ou à des chocs mécaniques.

Fonctionnement

• Si l’ampli-tuner est transporté directement d’un endroit froid à un endroit chaud ou s’il est installé dans une pièce très humide, de la condensation risque de se former sur l’optique située à l’intéri eur d e l’ampli-tuner. Si cela se produit, votre ampli-tuner risque de ne pas fonctionner correctement. Dans ce cas, retirez le di sque et laissez l’ampli-tuner sous tension pendant environ 30 minutes jusqu’à ce que l’humidité se soit complètement évaporée.

• Avant de déplacer votre ampli-tuner, 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 de l’a ppa r ei l pr inc ipal. Bien que le voyant reste allumé pendant quelques temps, le système est complètement hor s te nsion.

Réglage du volume

N’augmentez pas le volume lorsque vous écoutez un passage avec de très faibles nive a ux d’ en tr é e 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 co mmande s avec un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente neutre. N’utili se z pas de ta mpons abrasifs, de poudre à récurer ou de solvant tel que l’alcool ou la benzine. Pour toute question ou tout problème concernant votre ampli-tuner, n’hésitez pas à consulte r vot re revende ur Sony le plus proche.

Entretien des disques

N’utilisez pas les disques de nettoyage CD/DVD disponib les dans le commerce. Ils risquent d’endommager votre ampl i- tuner.

Couleurs de votre écran de téléviseur

Si les enceintes entraîne nt de s 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 enceinte s du té lév iseur.

L’étiquette est située à l’arrière de l’appareil.

IMPORTANT

Attention : Cette ampl i-t u ner est capable de maintenir indéfinimen t 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 affiché sur votre téléviseu r penda nt une période prolongée, vous risquez de provoquer des dommages irréversibles a u nive a u de votr e éc ran . Les téléviseurs de projection sont pa r ti cul iè r em e nt sensibles à ce ph énomène.

Transport de l’ampli-tuner

Lorsque vous transportez l’a mpli-tuner, appliquez la procédure ci-dessous afin de prot ég er l e mécan i s me interne. Retirez le disque. « NO DISC » s’affiche dans la fenêtre d’affichage du panneau frontal. Mettez l’amplituner hors tension et débranchez son cordon d’alimentation de la prise secteur.
