Note on video component
hookups
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks
to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO IN jacks on the
receiver and apply sound effects to the audio
from the TV. In this case, do not connect the
TV’s video output jack to the VIDEO 2
VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are
connecting a separate satellite tuner, connect
both the audio and video output jacks to the
receiver as shown above.

Tip
To prevent speaker vibration or movement while
listening, attach the supplied foot pads at the bottom
of the speakers.
Notes
• Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the
surround speaker terminals and the short speaker
connecting cords to the front and center speaker
terminals.
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch. Be sure to match the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
To avoid short-circuiting the
speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage
the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take
the following precautions when connecting the
speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each
speaker cord does not touch another
speaker terminal, the stripped end of
another speaker cord, or the metal parts of
the receiver.
Examples of poor conditions of the
speaker cord
Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Stripped cords are touching each other
due to excessive removal of insulation.
Stripped cords are not fully attached and
are touching the rear panel of the receiver.
After connecting all the components,
speakers, and AC power cord, output
a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly.
For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 18.
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 whose name
is currently displayed on the receiver, the
speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens,
check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your
speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume
before you turn off the receiver. When you turn
on the receiver, the volume remains at the level
you turn off the receiver.

Performing initial setup
operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and
turned on the power, clear the receiver’s
memory. Then specify the speaker parameters
(size, position, etc.) and perform any other
initial setup operations necessary for your
system.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(page 19).
Clearing the receiver’s
memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or
when you want to clear the receiver’s memory,
do the following.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
“INITIAL” appears in the display.
The following are reset to their factory
settings.
• All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and
TONE menus.
• The sound field memorized for each
function and preset station.
• All sound field parameters.
• All preset stations.
• All index names of input selectors and
preset stations.
• The master volume is set to “VOL
MIN”.
Performing initial setup
operations
Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on page 47. See pages
14–18 for speaker settings and pages 32–33 for
other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 5 feet closer (B) and the
surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) to
the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 23
feet from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.). However, we
recommend that you place the surround
speakers behind you.

You cannot change the configuration if you
select “MICRO SP.”.
If you change the speaker system, select
“NORM. SP.”. You can adjust the speaker size
and sub woofer selection when you select
“NORM. SP.” (page 17).
To select “NORM. SP.”, turn off the power,
then turn on again while pressing MAIN
MENU. (To reset to “MICRO SP.”, do the
same procedure.)
Tip
The setting for Micro Satellite Speaker (MICRO SP.)
has been programmed to optimize the sound balance.
If you use Sony’s Micro Satellite Speakers, select
“MICRO SP.”.
Caution
