Note on video component hookups
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks to the TV/ LD AUDIO IN jacks on the receiver and apply sound effects to the audio from the TV. In this case, do not connect the TV’s video output jack to the TV/LD VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a separate TV tuner (or LD player), connect both the audio and video output jacks to the receiver as shown above.
z When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks
Your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
Digital Component Hookups
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and TV tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To enjoy full effect of multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF demodulator, like the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).

Example of LD player connected via an RF demodulator
Please note that you cannot connect an LD player’s AC-3 RF OUT jack directly to this unit’s digital input jacks. You must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal. Connect the LD player to the RF demodulator, then connect the RF demodulator’s optical output to this unit’s OPTICAL TV/LD IN jack. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your RF Demodulator for details on AC-3 RF hookups.

5.1CH Input Hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with 5.1CH INPUT jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to this unit to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH INPUT jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a subwoofer. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input hookups.

CONTROL A1 hookup
• If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony CD player, tape deck, or MD deck
Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the CONTROL A1 jack on the CD player, tape deck, or MD deck to the CONTROL A1 jack on the receiver. Refer to the separate manual “CONTROL-A1 Control System” and the operating instructions supplied with your CD player, tape deck, or MD deck for details.
Note
If you make CONTROL A1 connections from the receiver to an MD deck that is also connected to a computer, do not operate the receiver while using the “Sony MD Editor” software. This may cause a malfunction.
•If you have a Sony CD changer with a COMMAND MODE selector
If your CD changer’s COMMAND MODE selector can be set to CD 1, CD 2, or CD 3, be sure to set the command mode to “CD 1” and connect the changer to the CD jacks on the receiver.
If, however, you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO OUT jacks, set the command mode to “CD 2” and connect the changer to the VIDEO 2 jacks on the receiver.
Connecting the AC power cord
Before connecting the AC power cord of this receiver to a wall outlet:
•Connect the speaker system to the receiver (see page 15).
•Turn the MASTER VOLUME control to the leftmost position (0).
Connect the AC power cord(s) of your audio/video components to a wall outlet.
If you connect other audio/video components to the AC OUTLET on the receiver, the receiver will supply power to the connected component, allowing you to turn the whole system on or off when you turn the receiver on/off.
Caution
Make sure that the total power consumption of the component connected to the receiver’s AC OUTLET does not exceed the wattage stated on the rear panel. Do not connect high-wattage electrical home appliances such as electric irons, fans, or TVs to this outlet.
Note
If the AC power cord is disconnected for about two weeks, the receiver’s entire memory will be cleaned and the demonstration will start.

z To connect certain speakers to another amplifier
Use the PRE OUT jacks. The same signal is output from both the SPEAKERS jacks and the PRE OUT jacks. For example, if you want to connect just the front speakers to another amplifier, connect that amplifier to the PRE OUT FRONT L and R jacks.
Notes on speaker system hookup
•Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm. Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
•If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

Speaker System Hookup
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 21.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center, and rear speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, and set the speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω.” Check the instruction manual supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure of their impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)
You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to the SPEAKERS
terminals, if you set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω.”
Note
Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω” if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front speakers (see page 26).

Performing Initial Setup Operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Before turning on the receiver
Make sure that you have:
•Turned MASTER VOLUME to the leftmost position (0).
•Selected the appropriate front speakers (see “7 SPEAKERS selector” on page 26).
Clearing the receiver’s memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following. This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn the power on.

pCenter speaker size (CENTER)
Initial setting : LARGE
• If you a connect large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to “LARGE”.
• If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer. *1
• If you do not connect the center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.*2
pRear speaker size (REAR)
Initial setting : LARGE
•If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the rear speakers to “LARGE”.
•If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the rear channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
•If you do not connect rear speakers, select “NO”.*3
z *1~*3 correspond to the following Dolby Pro Logic modes

z About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speaker. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer set all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To adjust the equalizer, see page 38.
p Rear speaker position (REAR PL.)*
Initial setting : BEHIND
This parameter lets you specify the location of your rear speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.
•Select “SIDE” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section A.
•Select “MIDDLE” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section B.
•Select “BEHIND” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section C.

z About the rear speaker position (SIDE, MIDDLE, and BEHIND)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields. With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as critical as other modes. All of the modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields were designed under the premise that the rear speaker would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the rear 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 “VIRTUAL” sound fields will not be effective unless the rear speaker position parameter is set to “SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHIND” or “MIDDLE” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the “Rear speaker position” explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and listen to the effect each setting has on your listening environment. Choose the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the rear speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHIND” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

pSub woofer selection (SUB WOOFER)
Initial setting : YES
• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set your sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
pFront speaker distance (FRONT)
Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the front (left or right) speaker (A on page 18).
•Front speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot) steps from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).
•If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
pCenter speaker distance (CENTER)
Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.
• Center speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 18) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position (B on page 18).
• Do not place the center speaker farther away from your listening position than the front speakers.
pRear speaker distance (REAR)
Initial setting : 3.5 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the rear (left or right) speaker.
•Rear speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 18) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position (C on page 18).
•Do not place the rear speakers farther away from your listening position than the front speakers.
•If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
z About speaker distances
This unit allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can not be set more that 1.5 meters closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the rear speakers can not be set farther away than from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1~2 m closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the rear speakers are too close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
p Distance unit (DIST. UNIT)
Initial setting : meter
Lets you select either feet or meters as the unit of measure for setting distances. 1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.
Adjusting the speaker volume
Use the remote while seated in your listening position to adjust the volume of each speaker.
Note
This unit incorporates a new test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker volume adjustment.
1Press 1/u to turn on the receiver.
2Press TEST TONE on the supplied remote.
You will hear the test tone from each speaker in sequence.
3Adjust the volume level so that the volume of the test tone from each speaker sounds the same when you are in your main listening position.
•To adjust the balance of the front right and front left speakers, use the front balance parameter in the LEVEL menu (see page 37).
•To adjust the balance of the rear right and rear left speakers, use the rear balance parameter in the LEVEL menu (see page 37).
•To adjust the volume level of the center speaker, press the LEVEL CENTER +/– buttons on the remote.
•To adjust the volume level of the rear speakers, press the LEVEL REAR +/– buttons on the remote.
4Press TEST TONE on the remote again to turn off the test tone.
Note
The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is set to 5.1CH INPUT.
z You can adjust the volume level of all speakers at the same time
Rotate MASTER VOLUME on the main unit or press MASTER VOLUME +/– on the remote.

Multi Channel Surround Setup
Notes
•The front balance, rear balance, center level, and rear level are shown in the display during adjustment.
•Although these adjustments can also be made via the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you follow the procedure described above and adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the remote control.
z When setting the volume levels for each speaker
Let’s assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make further adjustments while listening to playback of actual software. This is because most software contains center and rear channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front channels.
When you actually playback software recorded in multi channel surround you will notice that increasing the center and rear speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB, and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better results.
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage with balanced dialog we recommend that you make some adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
Before You Use Your Receiver
Before turning on the receiver
Make sure that you have:
•Turned MASTER VOLUME to the leftmost position (0).
•Selected the appropriate front speakers (see “7 SPEAKERS selector” on page 26).

/Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack and set the SPEAKERS selector to OFF to verify that sound is output from the headphones (see “7 SPEAKERS selector” and “PHONES jack” on page 26).
If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component.
If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check the connection of the front speaker which is not outputting any sound.

Surround
Sound
This chapter describes how to set up the receiver to enjoy surround sound. You can enjoy multi channel surround when playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS.
You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you desire by changing the various surround parameters. The receiver containes a variety of different sound modes. The cinema sound modes are designed for use when playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic. In addition to decoding the surround sound, some of these modes also provide sound effects commonly found in movie theaters.
The virtual sound modes contain compelling applications of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal processing technology. They shift the sound away from the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of several “virtual” speakers.
The music (etc.) sound modes are designed for use with standard audio sources and TV broadcasts. They add reverberation to the source signal to make you feel as if you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use these sound modes with two-channel sources like CD and stereo broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts. For more information about the sound modes, see pages 31~33.
A.F.D.
The “Auto Format Decoding” sound mode presents the sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any reverberation (etc.).
To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the number and location of you speakers. See “Multi-Channel Surround Setup” starting on page 18 to set the speaker parameters before enjoying surround sound.
