Note on video component
hookups
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks
to the VIDEO 2 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 VIDEO 2
VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are
connecting a separate satellite tuner, connect
both the audio and video output jacks to the
receiver as shown above.
If you have a DVD player, TV or satellite tuner
with COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, B-Y, R-Y)
output jacks and a monitor with COMPONENT
VIDEO input jacks, use a component video
cord (not supplied) to connect to the receiver.
Tip
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.
Note
On this receiver, the component video signals are not
compatible with S-video signals or video signals.

Digital component hookups
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital
input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully
enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a
center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. You will also need a surround back speaker for 6.1
channel surround sound.

Multi channel input hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel
input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other
than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you
can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel
decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel
decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound (5.1 channel), five speakers (two front speakers, two
surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. You will also need a
surround back speaker for 6.1 channel surround sound. Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.
Notes
• When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the
DVD player or multi channel decoder.
• See page 15 for details on speaker system hookup.

CONTROL A1 hookup
• If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible
Sony CD player, Super Audio CD player,
tape deck or MD deck
Use a monaural mini-plug cord (not
supplied) to connect the CONTROL A1II
jack on the CD player, Super Audio CD
player, tape deck or MD deck to the CTRL
A1II jack on the receiver. Refer to
“CONTROL A1II control system” on page
40 and the operating instructions supplied
with your CD player, Super Audio CD
player, tape deck or MD deck for details.
Note
If you make CONTROL A1II 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.
However, if 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.

Speaker system hookups (continued)
Notes
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch. 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 speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
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, the stripped end of
another speaker cord, or the metal parts of
the receiver.
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.
Stripped cords are not fully attached and
are touching the rear panel of the receiver.
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 22.
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.
To avoid damaging your
speakers

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.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(page 22).
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.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
“PUSH” and “ENTER” appears in the
display alternatingly.
3 Press ENTER.
After “CLEARING” appears in the display
for a while, “CLEARED” appears.
The following are reset to their factory
settings.
• All settings in the SET UP, CUSTOM,
LEVEL and EQ menus.
• The sound field memorized for each
input selector and preset station.
• All sound field parameters.
• All preset stations.
• All index names for input selector and
preset stations.
• The master volume is set to
“VOL MIN”.
Performing initial setup
operations
Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on page 56. See pages
17–22 for speaker settings and page 39 for
other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 5 feet closer (B), the surround
speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) and the
surround back speaker up to 15 feet closer (D)
to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 23
feet from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).

When placing surround speakers behind you
Tips
• When you set up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening
position. It is recommended to place the speaker at
an equal distance from the surround left and right
speakers. If there is no space behind the listening
position, set the speaker above the listening position
by placing it on a stand or hanging it from the
ceiling. To prevent speaker damage or injury in case
the speaker falls, make sure that it is properly fixed
in place.
• Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
Note
Do not place the center speaker further away from the
listening position than the front speakers.

x Sub woofer selection (SW S.W. XXX)
• 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 bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend that you set the cut off frequency
on the sub woofer as high as possible.
1 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select
“ SET UP ”.
2 Press or to select the parameter
you want to adjust.
Note
Some speaker settings may appear dimmed in the
display. This means that they have been changed
automatically due to other speaker settings or may
not be adjustable.
