Getting Started

1: Installing the speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound, be sure to connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can place your speakers as shown below.
AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSubwoofer
Installing the speakers on a flat surface
Before you install the speaker and subwoofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the center speaker and subwoofer to prevent vibration or movement as shown in the illustration below.
Example of subwoofer
Installing the speakers on the speaker stand
For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the supplied speaker stand. For details, refer to the supplied speaker stand installation guide.
Getting Started
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

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.
• If you install the speakers on the wall, you do not need to attach the supplied speaker stand.

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. Sony recommends that you connect components to the receiver using an HDMI cable. With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high quality sound and high quality images.
However, it is necessary to connect the audio output of the TV to the audio input of the receiver using an optical cord to listen to the TV multi channel surround sound broadcasting from the receiver.
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync compatible components using HDMI cables, ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes operations simpler (page 45).
HDMI features
• A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM.
• This receiver supports xvYCC transmission.
• This receiver supports the Control for HDMI function. For details, see “Using “BRAVIA” Sync features” (page 45).

• 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 the 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

Inserting batteries into the remote
Insert two R6 (size-AA) batteries in the RM-AAU057 Remote Commander. Observe the correct polarity when installing batteries.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or
humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with old ones.
• Do not mix manganese batteries and other kinds of
batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight
or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• If you do not intend to use the remote for an
extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
• When you replace the batteries, the remote buttons
may be reset to their factory settings. If this happens, reassign the buttons again (page 60).
• When the remote no longer operates the receiver,
replace all the batteries with new ones.
7: Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically
(AUTO CALIBRATION)
This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows:
• Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver.
• Adjust the speaker level.
• Measure the distance of each speaker from your listening position.
• Measure the frequency characteristics.*
* The measurement result is not utilized for signals
with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz.
The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels manually according to your preference. For details, see “8: Adjusting the speaker levels (TEST TONE)” (page 27).
