Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not work depending on the model.

• 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.

Getting Started

1: Installing the speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 7 channel speaker with 4 subwoofer 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 subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect two surround back speakers (7.1 channel). See “Using the surround back decoding mode (SUR BACK DECODING)” (page 44).

Example of a 7 channel speaker with 2 subwoofer system configuration

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

Before you install the center speaker, surround speakers, surround back speakers and subwoofers, 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.

Notes on HDMI connections

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the speaker output jack and HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any other audio jacks.

• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The video input signals cannot be output from the VIDEO OUT jacks or MONITOR OUT jacks.

• When you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set “AUDIO FOR HDMI” to “TV+AMP” in the VIDEO menu (page 46). If you cannot play back multi channel software, set to “AMP”. However, the sound will not output from the TV speaker.

• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

• When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component.

• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection.

• Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 kHz multi-channel sound over an HDMI connection.

• You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player.

• Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details.

• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D component, the sound and/or the image may not be output.
