INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
You are cautioned that any changes or
modification not expressly approved in
this manual could void your authority to
operate this equipment.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call CATV
system installer’s attention to Article 82040 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable

CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT USE THIS POLARIZED AC PLUG
WITH AN EXTENSION CORD,
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET
UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE
EXPOSURE.
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 at
the rear 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.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the
other for the purpose of safety and will
fit into the wall outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
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.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be
sure to turn off and unplug 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 question or problem
concerning your receiver, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.

z
When to replace batteries
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last for about 6
months. When the remote no longer operates the receiver,
replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting
apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the
connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and
noise.
• When connecting an audio/video cord, be sure to
match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on
the components: yellow (video) to yellow; white (left,
audio) to white; and red (right, audio) to red.

MD deck to the S-LINK CTRL A1 jack on the receiver.
See “Displaying the operating status of the component
connected to the S-LINK CTRL A1 jack” on page 36 and
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.
• If you have a Sony CD changer with a

connect the changer to the VIDEO 2 jacks on the
receiver.
Setting the voltage selector (only on
models supplied with a voltage selector)
Check that the voltage selector on the rear panel of the
receiver is set to the local power supply voltage. If not,
use a screwdriver to set the selector to the correct position
before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet.

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
14).
• Turn the MASTER VOLUME control to the leftmost
position (0).
Connect the AC power cord(s) of your audio/video
component(s) to a wall outlet.

off the whole system when you turn on/off the receiver.
Caution
Make sure that the total power consumption of the component(s)
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.

Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3
inch (15 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.
• If you are not using a Sony wireless rear speaker
system, do not connect any other component to the
WIRELESS REAR SPEAKER jack.
