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 44).

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 ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” (page 44).

Notes on HDMI connections

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the SPEAKERS jacks 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 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 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.

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).

Before you perform Auto Calibration

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 12, 15).

• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.

• During the calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood.

• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to get a more accurate measurement.

• If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.

Note

If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will be set to off automatically.

Lets you delay the audio output so that the time gap between the audio output and visual display is minimized. You can adjust from OFF, 1 (10ms) to 20 (200 ms) in 1 (10ms) steps.

x AUD. DRC (Audio dynamic range

compression)

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. Audio dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•DRC OFF The audio dynamic range is not compressed.

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

•DRC MAX The audio dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Audio dynamic range compression lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. “DRC STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “DRC 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 DIMMER (Brightness of the

display)

Lets you adjust the brightness of the display. For details, see “Changing the brightness of the display (DIMMER)” (page 49).

x DISPLAY (Display)

Lets you turn on or off the display. For details, see “Changing the display setting (DISPLAY)” (page 50).

Notes

• You may not be able to adjust the delay between sound and image perfectly using this function.

• This function is useful only for Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM (2ch) input by optical and coaxial audio input signals.

x SLEEP (Sleep timer)

Lets you set the timer to power off the receiver automatically. For details, see “Using the Sleep Timer (SLEEP)” (page 50).

x IN MODE (Switching the audio

input mode)

Lets you set the audio input mode of inputs. For details, see “Switching the audio input mode (IN MODE)” (page 51). This parameter is only available when SAT input is selected.

Additional Information

Glossary

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 subwoofer 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 realisti c 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 HDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.

x L.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)

Sound effects of low frequencies which are output from a subwoofer in Dolby Digital or DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio becomes more powerful.

x S-master

S-master is an all-digital amplifier technology developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the original sound. The compact amplifier section supports a higher power efficiency and improved thermal performance.

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.

x TSP (Time Stretched Pulse)

A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring a wide band, from low to high, in a short period. The amount of energy used to measure signals is important to ensure measurement accuracy in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP signals makes it possible to measure signals effectively.

x x.v.Colour

x.v.Colour is a more familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for colour space in video. This standard can express a wider colour range than the currently used broadcast standard.

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.

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

Page 55

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 be en 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 center speaker is 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 front speakers, surround speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the front speakers, surround speakers and subwoofer slightly further away from TV set (page 12).

If color irregularity is observed...

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