Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not

• The above explanation is intended to serve as an

example only. Therefore, depending on the component, the above operation may not be possible or may operate differently than described.

1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 6 channel speaker with 4 sub woofers system. To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel). You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see “Using the surround back decoding mode (SUR BACK DECODING)”) on page 46.

Example of 6 channel speaker with 2 sub woofers system configuration

Getting Started

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

Before you install the center speaker, surround speakers, surround back speaker and sub woofers, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.

Notes

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material

and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall

material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

playback component are being output to a TV through the receiver. If the power supply of the receiver is not on, neither video nor audio is transmitted.

Connecting components with HDMI jacks

HDMI is the abbreviated name for HighDefinition Multimedia Interface. It is an interface which transmits video and audio signals in digital format.

The sound is output from the TV speaker only when a playback component and this receiver, as well as this receiver and the TV are connected via a HDMI jack. To output the sound from the supplied speakers and to take advantage of the multi channel surround sound, be sure to – connect the digital audio jacks on the

playback component to the receiver.

– turn off or mute the TV’s volume.
