2: Connecting the antennas

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna and FM wire antenna.

Notes

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.

• A^er connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.

3: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a5.1 channel speaker 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).

Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

Center speaker

Tips

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

• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FVll or WS-FVIOD floor stand (available only in certain countries).

• You can also install the front and surround speakers on the wall (page l4).

Note

Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround and surround back speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.

Attaching foot pads

To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the illustration below.

Note

Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

^SET U^”.

3 Press< or> repeatedly to select the

parameter you want to adjust.

For details, see “Speaker setup parameters” below.

Note

Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in the display. This means that they have been adjusted automatically due to other speaker settings or may not be adjustable.

4 Press +or-repeatedly toselectthe

setting you want.

The setting is entered automatically.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set

all of the items that follow.

Speaker setup parameters

The initial setting is underlined.

DIST. XX ft

(Front speaker distance)

Initial setting: 10 ft Lets you set the distance from your listening position

to the front speakers (O)- You can adjust from 3 feet to 23 feet in 1 foot steps. If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

DIST. XX ft

(Center speaker distance)

Initialsetting: 10 ft Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should

be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (©) to a distance 5 feet closer to your listening position (B).

Initialsetting: 10 ft Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening position (C). If both surround speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than 5 feet closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of 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 further away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 3-6 feet 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 sound stage. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

DIST. XX ft

■ xxxx/xx (Surround speaker position)

Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX modes

(page 24).

B \ B

Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHD/HI” ifyour speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate le^ and right.

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded so^ware and select 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 of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHD/ EO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

Tip

Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.

For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, ifthe speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to “SIDE/EO” or “SIDE/HI”.

■ C.ST.EX B (CINEMA STUDIO EX B) PICS

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak Theater^’ cinema production studio. This mode is ideal for watching science-fiction or action movies with lots of sound effects.

24US

■ C.ST.EX C (CINEMA STUDIO EX C) DTCS

Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This mode is ideal for watching musicals or films where orchestra music is featured in the soundtrack.

About CINEMA STUDIO EX modes

CINEMA STUDIO EX modes are suitable for watching motion picture DVDs (etc.), with multi channel surround effects. You can reproduce the sound characteristics of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studio in your home. The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes consist of the following three elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension

Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers from a single pair of actual surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching

Creates the sensation that the sound is coming from inside the screen like in theaters.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation

Reproduces the type of reverberation found in

theaters. The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes integrate these three elements simultaneously.

Notes

• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may

cause increased noise in the playback signal.

• When listening with so^d fields that employ the

virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any so^d coming directly from the s^o^d speakers.

Selecting a sound field for music

Press MUSIC repeatedly to select the sound field you want.

The selected sound field appears in the display.

COMP. XXX

(Dynamic range compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night.

• OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

• STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the

recording engineer.

• MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “STD” is the setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

■ EFCT. XXX (Effect level)

Initial setting: STD Lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in

3 levels - MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard effect) and MAX (maximum effect).

Additional Information

Precautions

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.

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 receiver is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver 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.

• (Models of area code U only) 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 heat buildup

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 considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

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.

• Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front and center speakers and the sub woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from TV set

(page 12).

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again a^er

15 to30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the receiver.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a so^ 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.
