Notes

• Some functions explained in this section may not work depending on the model.

• The above explanation is intended to serve as an example only. Therefore, depending on the component, the above operation may not be possible or may operate differently than described.

Getting Started

1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).

Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 channel system

To fully enjoy theater-like multi-channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel system).

Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded sound in the Surround EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel system) or two surround back speakers (7.1 channel system.) See “Using the surround back decoding mode” (page 64).

Tips

• The angle A should be the same.

• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the seating position.

Getting Started

• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

2: Connecting speakers

Before connecting cords, make sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

If you have an additional front speaker system, connect them to the FRONT SPEAKERS B terminals. You can select the front speaker system you want to use

with the SPEAKERS switch (OFF/A/B/ A+B) on the front panel (page 41).

If you connect only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS L terminals.

When you connect a sub woofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies. If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input signal to a sub woofer, then sound may not be output.

Notes

• When you connect all the speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set “Impedance” in the Speaker settings menu to “8 Ω.” In other connections, set it to “4 Ω.” For details, see “8: Setting the speakers” (page 40).

• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cords are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals.

Getting Started

3: Connecting the monitor

You can watch the selected input image when you connect the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack to a TV. You can operate this receiver using a GUI (Graphical User Interface).

It is not necessary to connect all the cables. Connect audio and video cords according to the jacks of your components.

A Optical digital cord (not supplied) B Audio cord (not supplied) C Video cord (not supplied) D HDMI cable (not supplied) E Component video cord (not supplied)

Notes

• Before connecting cords, make sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

• Connect image display components such as a TV monitor or a projector to the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack on the receiver. You may not be able to record, even if you connect recording components.

• Turn on the receiver when the video and audio of a playback component are being output to a TV via the receiver. If the power supply of the receiver is not turned on, neither video nor audio is transmitted.

• Depending on the status of the connection between the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image on the TV screen may be distorted. In this case, place the antenna (aerial) farther away from the receiver.

Tips

• The receiver has a video conversion function. For details, see “Notes on converting video signals” (page 32).

• The sound of the TV is output from the speakers connected to the receiver if you connect the sound output jack of the TV and the TV IN jacks of the receiver. In this configuration, set the sound output jack of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between either “Fixed” or “Variable.”

• The screen saver is activated when the GUI menu is displayed on the TV screen and there has been no operation attempted for 15 minutes.

Notes on connecting cables

• We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.

• We recommend that you use an HDMI, version 1.3a, category 2 cable with the HDMI logo (made by Sony) to watch a video image of 1080p or higher.

• 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. Connect other audio cords or digital connecting cords, then set “Input Assign” in the Input Option menu when the sound is not output correctly.

• Before connecting cables, make sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

Notes on HDMI connections

• Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack is output from the speaker output jacks, HDMI OUT jack and PRE OUT jack. It is not output from any other audio jacks.

• A video signal input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The video input cannot be output from the VIDEO OUT jacks, or MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks.

• The audio and video signals of HDMI input are not output from the HDMI OUT jack while the receiver menu is displayed.

• When you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set “HDMI Audio” to “TV+AMP” in the HDMI settings menu. If set to “AMP,” the sound is not output from the TV speaker.

• DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not input and output.

• Be sure to turn on the receiver when video and audio signals of a playback component are being output to a TV through this receiver. Unless the power is on, neither video nor audio signals will be transmitted.

• 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 an 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 or the number of channels of 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.

• Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details.
