On safety
•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.
•To prevent fire, do not cover the ventilation of the receiver with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. And don’t place lighted candles on the receiver.
•To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not place vases on the receiver.
On power sources
•Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
•If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
•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 buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.
•Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
•Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
•Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises accordingly. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.
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 question or problem concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note on video component hookups
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks to the TV/ SAT 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 TV/SAT VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a separate TV tuner (or satellite tuner), connect both the audio and video output jacks to the receiver as shown above.
z When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks
Your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks. (STR-DE575 only)

Digital Component Hookups
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To enjoy full effect of multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, such as the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).

*When making digital audio connections to a DVD player, connect to either the coaxial OR optical digital jacks, and not both. It is recommended to make digital audio connections to the coaxial jack.
Example of LD player connected via an RF demodulator
Please note that you cannot connect an LD player’s DOLBY DIGITAL RF OUT jack directly to the receiver’s digital input jacks. You must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical or coaxial digital output to the receiver’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL DVD/LD IN jack. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your RF Demodulator for details on DOLBY DIGITAL RF hookups.

MULTI CH IN Hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with MULTI CH IN jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with MULTI CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the MULTI CH IN jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will need five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel input hookups.

Notes on speaker system hookup
•Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3 inch (10 mm). 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.
12
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 or the stripped end of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
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, 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.
Clearing the receiver’s memory
Before you use your receiver for the first time or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following. This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn the power on.

Multi Channel Surround Setup
For the best possible surround sound all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A). (However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to 12.0 meters) 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.).

z About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speaker. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer see page 34.
x Surround speaker position ( SL SR )*
Initial setting : PL. BEHD.
This parameter lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.
•Select “PL. SIDE” if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A.
•Select “PL. MID” if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B.
•Select “PL. BEHD.” if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section C.

z About the surround speaker position (PL. SIDE, PL. MID and PL. BEHD.)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields. With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as critical as other modes. All of the modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speaker would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the “VIRTUAL” sound fields will not be effective unless the surround speaker position parameter is set to “PL. SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “PL. BEHD” or “PL. MID” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the “Surround speaker position” explanation, we recommend that you play back multi channel surround encoded software and listen to the effect each setting has on your listening environment. Choose the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound from the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select “PL. BEHD.” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
xSub woofer selection
Initial setting : S.W. YES
• If you connect a sub woofer, select “S.W. YES”.
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “S.W. NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
xFront speaker distance (
L

)
Initial setting : DIST. 5.0 m (5.0 meter) 16 feet
Set the distance from your listening position to the front (left or right) speaker (A on page 15).
•Front speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to 12.0 meters).
•If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
x Center speaker distance (
C 
)
Initial setting : DIST. 5.0 m (5.0 meter) 16 feet
Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.
•Center speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer to your listening position (B on page 15).
•Do not place the center speaker farther away from your listening position than the front speakers.

z About speaker distances
This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can not be set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy the surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3~6 feet (1~2 m) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage. (1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.)
Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
