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.

• For HT-SF2300, if you install the speakers on the

wall, you do not need to attach the supplied speaker stand.

• 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.

• 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.

When you connect a DVD player or DVD recorder

You can use the DVD input button on the remote to control your DVD player or DVD recorder. You may need to change the factory setting of this button depending on the remote supplied with this receiver. The factory setting for the remote is shown in the table below:

Remote Factory setting

RM-AAU022 DVD player (Change the factory

setting if you connect a DVD recorder)

RM-AAU023 DVD recorder (Change the

factory setting if you connect a DVD player)

To change the factory setting of the DVD input button on the remote, see “Changing button assignments” (page 63).

Notes

• To input multi channel digital audio from the DVD player, set the digital audio output setting on the DVD player. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD player.

• To output sound from the front speakers and the

subwoofer only when you select DVD input, be sure to: – connect your DVD player to the DVD COAX IN

jack on the receiver.

– press 2CH.

• When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place.

• Do not bend or tie optical digital cords.

• Be sure to connect the video output of the DVD player, DVD recorder and VCR to the TV, so that the image is displayed on the TV. Refer to the operating instructions of each connected component for details.

• You cannot do recording on the DVD recorder or VCR via this receiver. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD recorder or VCR.

Tips

• To output the sound of the TV from the speakers connected to the receiver, be sure to – connect the audio output jacks of the TV to the

TV IN jacks of the receiver.

– turn off the TV’s volume or activate the TV’s

muting function.

• All the digital audio jacks are compatible with

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

“CLEARING” appears on the display for a while, then “CLEARED” appears. All the settings you have changed or adjusted are reset to the initial settings.

Insert two R6 (size-AA) batteries in the RM-AAU022 (Models of area code U, UC, CA only) or RM-AAU023 (Models of area code CEL, CEK, AU, TW, TH only) 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 63).

Tip

Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about 3 months. When the remote no longer operates the receiver, replace all the batteries with new ones.

Page 26

6: 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 speaker polarity.

• 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 and balance manually according to your preference. For details, see “7: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)” (page 30).

Before you perform Auto Calibration

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 14, 17).

• 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.

Tips

• When Auto Calibration starts: – Stand some distance from the speakers and the

listening position to avoid measurement failure. This is because test signals are output from the speakers during measurement.

– Avoid making noise to get a more accurate

measurement.

• The Auto Calibration function will be canceled

when you do the following during the measurement process:

– Press ?/1 or MUTING. – Press input buttons on the remote or INPUT

SELECTOR on the receiver. – Change the volume level. – Press AUTO CAL again.
