Precautions

On safety

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

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 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.

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 irregularit y, tu rn o ff the T V at on ce the n tur n it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers farther away from the set.

The nameplate is located on the rear of the unit.

Inserting Batteries into

Getting Started

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 s ensor 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 replac ing th e ba tteries.

• Do not expose the remote senso r to dir ect li ght from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doi ng so ma y c au se 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 corros ion.

• When you operate the receiver, select DVD or TUNER function.

Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

You can enjoy surround sound by connecting 6 speakers (front L/R speakers, center speaker, surround L/R speakers, surround back spea ker) and active subwoofer to the receiver. If you do not connect 6 speakers and active subw oofer to the receiver, the receiver offers the means to optimize the 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 cords to their appropriate terminal: 3 to 3, # to #, L to L, and R to R jack.

• Use high performance speakers.

• Use suitable sized speakers of sim il ar pe rformance for the front, center, surround and surr ound back speakers.

• To obtain the best possible surrou nd sound, specify the speaker paramete r s (s iz e , dis ta nc e, level, etc.) on page 70.

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.

Getting Started

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)

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.
