Getting Started

Page 12

1: Installing the speakers

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 a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSub woofer

Installing the speakers on a flat surface

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

Installing the speakers on the speaker stand

For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). Be sure to detach the screw from the speaker and use it when you install the speaker to the speaker stand. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.

Tip

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

Page 13

Installing the speakers on the wall

You can install your front, center and surround speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on the back of each speaker as shown in the illustrations 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.

Adjusting the level

(LEVEL menu)

You can use the LEVEL menu to adjust the balance and level of each speaker. These settings are applied to all sound fields. Select “1-LEVEL” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 27) and “Overview of the menus” (page 28).

LEVEL menu parameters

x T. TONE (Test tone)

Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening to the test tone from your listening position. For details, see “6: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)” (page 22).

x FRT BAL (Front speaker

balance)

Lets you adjust the balance between front left and right speakers.

x CNT LVL (Center speaker level)

x D. RANGE (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. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

• COMP. OFF The dynamic range is not compressed.

•COMP. STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

•COMP. 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. “COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. 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.

x SL LVL (Surround left speaker

level)

x SR LVL (Surround right speaker

level)

x SW LVL (Sub woofer level)

Page 31

Adjusting the tone

(TONE menu)

You can use the TONE menu to adjust the tonal quality (bass/treble level) of the front speakers. Select “2-TONE” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 27) and “Overview of the menus” (page 28).

You can use the SUR menu to select the sound field you want for your listening pleasure. Select “3-SUR” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 27) and “Overview of the menus” (page 28).

SUR menu parameters

x S.F. SELCT (Sound field

selection)

Lets you select the sound field you want. For details, see “Enjoying Surround Sound” (page

35).

Note

The receiver lets you apply the last selected sound field to an input whenever it is selected (Sound Field Link). For example, if you select “HALL” for the SA-CD/CD input, then change to a different input and then return to SA-CD/CD, “HALL” will automatically be applied again.

•DEC. PCM PCM signals are given priority (to prevent interruption when playback starts). However, when other signals are input, there may be no sound depending on the format. In this case, set to “DEC. AUTO”.

•DEC. AUTO Automatically switches the input mode between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM.

Note

When set to “DEC. AUTO” and the sound from the digital audio jacks (for a CD, etc.) is interrupted when playback starts, set to “DEC. PCM”.

Page 33

x DUAL (Digital broadcast

language selection)

Lets you select the language you want to listen to during digital broadcast. This feature only functions for Dolby Digital sources.

•DUAL M/S (Main/Sub) Sound of the main language will be output through the front left speaker and sound of the sub language will be output through the front right speaker simultaneously.

•DUAL M (Main) Sound of the main language will be output.

Page 34

x SUR POS.

(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 37).

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, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects become unclear unless set to “SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHD/HI” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are located to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you play back multi channel surround encoded software 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/LO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

• BEHD/HI Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and D.

• BEHD/LO Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and C.

•SIDE/HI Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and D.

•SIDE/LO Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and C.

x Cinema Studio EX

A surround sound mode that can be regarded as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing theater using three technologies: “Virtual Multi Dimensions”, “Screen Depth Matching”, and “Cinema Studio Reverberation”. “Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual speaker technology, creates a virtual multisurround environment with actual speakers up to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound experience of a theater with the latest facilities into your home. “Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound usually created in a theater using sound emission from behind the screen. This is then added to the front and center channels. “Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art dubbing theaters and recording studios, including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/ C, available according to the studio type.

x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)

A unique sound reproduction technology for home theater developed by Sony, in cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment, for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by filmmakers can be experienced at home.

x Dolby Digital

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It consists of front (left/right), center, surround (left/right) and sub woofer channels. It is a designated audio standard for DVD video and also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since surround information is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby surround.

x Dolby Pro Logic II

This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback. There is a MOVIE mode for movies and MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as music. Old movies encoded in the traditional stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1 channel surround sound.

x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro

Logic)

Audio processing technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is decoded and output in 4 channel surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD video.

x DTS Digital Surround

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.

x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.

Page 49

x Sampling frequency

To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.

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 on the back 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.

• The AC power cord must be changed only at a qualified service shop.

Additional Information

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.

continued

Page 50

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.

• Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna.)

• 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 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 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 questions or problems concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front speakers, center speaker 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 the TV set (page 12).

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
