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, refer to ”Adjusting the speaker volume”, on page 20.
If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field on the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the tone is output individually from the left and right rear speakers.
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.

Receiver Operations
Presetting Radio Stations
You’ll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you don’t have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B, C) and numbers (0 - 9). For example, you can store a station as preset number A1, B6 or C9, etc.

Receiver Operations
Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
What you can do with the Radio Data System
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular radio programme signal. This receiver offers you three convenient RDS features: Displaying the RDS information; Monitoring of traffic, news, or information programmes; and Locating a station by programme type. RDS is available only on FM stations.*
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
*Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the RDS indicator lights up and the station name appears in the display.
Displaying the RDS Information
Press DISPLAY. Each time you press DISPLAY, the display advances one step through the following information.
Information displayed |
You can: |
|

**This information also appears for non-RDS FM stations.
Notes
•If there is an emergency announcement by governmental authorities, ALARM flashes in the display.
•When the message consists of 9 characters or more, the message scrolls across the display.
•The following messages appear if a station is not providing a particular RDS service:
“NO PTY” (the selected programme type is not available) “NO TEXT” (text data is not available)
“NO TIME” (clock time data is not available)
•Depending on the method used by the radio station to send the text, some text messages may be incomplete.
Monitoring traffic, news, or information programmes (EON)
The EON (Enhanced Other Network) function allows the receiver to switch automatically to a station broadcasting traffic announcements, news or information programmes. When such a programme starts on a station networking with the preset FM RDS station, the receiver automatically tunes in the station. After the programme ends, the receiver switches back to the original preset station or the programme source you were originally listening to.
1Tune to an FM station.
2Press RDS EON to select the programme you want to monitor.
Each time you press RDS EON, the indicators light as follows:
/TA (Traffic Announcement)
.
NEWS
.
INFO (information)
.
OFF (No indication lights up)
The receiver enters EON standby mode.
“NO TA”, “NO NEWS”, or “NO INFO” appears if you press RDS EON before tuning to an RDS station.
When a station starts broadcasting the programme you selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message (e.g., “NOW TA”) appears and the respective indicator (e.g.,“TA”) flashes. After the programme ends, the receiver switches back to the station you were listening to (or the function you were using).
To stop monitoring the programme
Press RDS EON once.
15GB
Receiver Operations
Turn off the EON feature when you want to record a programme without interruptions, especially when you want to do timer recording.
Notes
•To use this function, be sure to store the RDS stations beforehand.
•When the selected station has a weak signal, “WEAK SIG” appears and then, the receiver returns to the previous station or programme source.
Locating a station by programme type (PTY)
You can locate a station you want by selecting a programme type. The receiver tunes in the type of programmes currently being broadcast from the RDS stations stored in the receiver's preset memory.
1Press RDS PTY to display the current PTY type. Press PRESET/PTY SELECT + or – until the programme type you want appears in the display. See the following table for the programme types you can select.
2Press RDS PTY while the programme type appears in the display.
The tuner starts searching the preset RDS stations for the programme (“SEARCH” and the programme type are displayed alternately). When the receiver finds the programme you are looking for, it stops searching. The preset number of the preset station currently broadcasting the selected programme type flashes, and the receiver receives the station.
Note
“NO PTY” appears when the programme type that you've selected is not being broadcast and the receiver returns to the original station.
You can select the following programme types:

When you use the remote
Each time you press SOUND FIELD MODE +/–, sound field changes as follows:
When selecting programme source
n PRO LOGIC* ÷ C. STUDIO N n HALL ÷ V DOLBY N

*“DOLBY” appears on the display.
To turn off sound field
Press SOUND FIELD ON/OFF.
The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected for each programme source (Sound Field Link)
Whenever you select a programme source, the sound field that was last applied is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to CD with HALL as the sound field, change to different programme source, then return to CD, HALL will be applied again. In the case of the tuner, the sound fields for AM or FM band and for all the preset stations are memorized separately.
You can find Dolby Surround-encoded software by looking at the packaging
However, some videos and laser discs may use Dolby Surround sound even if it’s not indicated on the package.
Note
Make sure to select speaker A with the SPEAKERS A button, otherwise, you can’t obtain the surround effect.
Adjusting the Effect Level (except PRO
LOGIC)
You can make the surround sound more prominent by increasing the EFFECT level. This control lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in six steps (1-6).
1Start playing a programme source.
2Press EFFECT/DELAY. The effect level (“EFFECT 1” … “EFFECT 6”) appears on the display.
3Press +/– to select the level you prefer.
When you use the remote
Each time you press EFFECT/DELAY, the effect level changes as follows:
nEFFECT 1 n EFFECT 2 n ....
EFFECT 6 N EFFECT 5 N
Note
Changing the effect level may not produce major variations in the surround effect when used with certain playback sources.

Adjusting the speaker volume
The test tone feature lets you set the volume of your speakers to the same level. (If all of your speakers have equal performance, you don’t have to adjust the speaker volume.)
Using the controls on the remote lets you test the speaker connection and adjust the volume level from your listening position.
1Press SOUND FIELD ON/OFF to turn on the sound field.
Press SOUND FIELD MODE +/– repeatedly to select “PRO LOGIC”.
2Press TEST TONE on the remote.
You will hear the test tone from each speaker sequentially.
3Adjust the volume level so that the test tone from each speaker is at the same level from your listening position.
•To adjust the level of centre speaker, press LEVEL CENTER + or – on the remote.
•To adjust the level of rear speakers, press LEVEL REAR + or – on the remote.
4Press TEST TONE on the remote to turn off the test tone.
You can adjust all speakers at one time
Adjust MASTER VOL on the remote or MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
You can also adjust the volume level with the controls on the receiver
After pressing TEST TONE on the remote:
•Press CENTER to select the centre speaker. Press +/– to adjust the level.
•Press REAR to select the rear speaker. Press +/– to adjust the level.
You can increase the output level of the rear speakers
The adjustment range of the rear speakers is preset from –15 to +10, but you can shift the range up 5 levels (–10 to +15).
•Press SET UP repeatedly until “REAR SET UP” appears on the display.
•Press +/– repeatedly until “GAIN UP” appears
on the display.
The values for the rear level remain fixed at –15 to +10 in the display, but you will be able to hear the difference in the actual output level.
To reset the rear level adjustment range, repeat this procedure to display “NORMAL”.
Adjusting the delay time
You can make the surround sound more effective by delaying the output from the rear speakers (delay time). You can select from three delay times, S (15 mS), M (20 mS), and L (30 mS). For example, if you’ve placed the rear speakers in a large room or apart from your listening position, set the delay time shorter.
1Start playing a programme source encoded with Dolby Surround sound.
2Press EFFECT/DELAY or EFFECT/DELAY on the remote repeatedly to choose the delay time parameter. The current delay time appears in the display, such as “DELAY S,” “DELAY M” or “DELAY L.”
Note
Select the PRO LOGIC mode when you adjust the delay time using EFFECT/DELAY on the receiver.

Centre mode
Setting of speakers to enhance Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode. To obtain the best possible surround sound, select one of the following four centre modes according to your speaker system.
•NORMAL mode
Select NORMAL mode if you have front and rear speakers and a small centre speaker. Since a small speaker cannot produce enough bass, the bass sound of the centre channel is output from the front speakers.

Delay time
Time lag between the surround sound output from front speakers and rear speakers. By adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers, you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make the delay time longer when you have placed the rear speakers in a small room or close to your listening position, and make it shorter when you have placed them in a large room or apart from your listening position.
Direct tuning
Tuning method to let you directly enter a station’s frequency using the numeric buttons. Use this method if you know the frequency of the station you want.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround produces four channels from two channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of rear speakers and a centre speaker. The rear speakers output monaural sound.
5.1 CH/DVD
These jacks are used to input decoded Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio signals, allowing you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound. Use these jacks to connect a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder or a DVD player with a built-in AC-3 decoder.
Preset station
A radio broadcasting station that is stored in memory of the receiver. Once you “preset” stations, you no longer have to tune in the stations. Each preset station is assigned its own preset number, which lets you tune them in quickly.
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements: direct sound, early reflected sound (early reflections) and reverberative sound (reverberation). The acoustics where you hear the sound affect the way these three sound elements are heard. These sound elements are combined in such a way that you can actually feel the size and the type of a concert hall.

Test tone
Signal given out by the receiver for adjusting the speaker volume. The test tone will come out as follows:
•In a system with a centre speaker (NORMAL/WIDE/3 STEREO modes)
The test tone is output from the front L (left), centre, front R (right), and rear speakers in succession.

AVERTISSEMENT
Afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, éviter d’exposer l’appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
Afin d’écarter tout risque d’électrocution, garder le coffret fermé. Ne confier l’entretien de l’appareil qu’à un personnel qualifié.
N’installez pas l’appareil dans un espace confiné comme dans une bibliothèque ou un meuble encastré.
Précautions
Sécurité
•Si un solide ou un liquide tombait dans le coffret, débranchez l’amplituner et faites-le vérifier par un technicien qualifié avant de le remettre en service.
Sources d’alimentation
•Avant de mettre en service l’amplituner, vérifiez que la tension de fonctionnement correspond à celle du courant secteur local. La tension de fonctionnement est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique à l’arrière de l’ampli-tuner.
•L’ampli-tuner n’est pas déconnecté de la source d’alimentation (secteur) tant qu’il est branché sur une prise murale, même si vous le mettez hors tension.
•Si vous ne comptez pas utiliser l’ampli-tuner pendant un certain temps, débranchez-le de la prise murale. Pour débrancher le cordon, tirez sur la fiche et jamais sur le cordon proprement dit.
•Si le cordon d’alimentation secteur doit être remplacé, adressez-vous à un technicien qualifié uniquement.
•L’interrupteur d’alimentation se trouve sur le panneau avant.
Installation
•Installez l’ampli-tuner dans un endroit bien ventilé pour éviter tout risque de surchauffe interne et prolonger la durée de vie des composants.
•N’installez pas l’ampli-tuner près d’une source de chaleur, dans un endroit en plein soleil, poussiéreux ou exposé à des chocs mécaniques.
•Ne posez rien sur le coffret qui puisse bloquer les orifices de ventilation et provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement.
Fonctionnement
•Avant de raccorder d’autres appareils, mettez l’ampli-tuner hors tension et débranchez-le.
Nettoyage
•Nettoyez le coffret, le panneau et les commandes avec un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente douce. N’utilisez pas de tampon abrasif, poudre à récurer ou solvant, comme l’alcool ou la benzine.
En cas de question ou de problème concernant l’ampli-tuner, consultez le revendeur Sony le plus proche.
