1: Installing speakers

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

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 subwoofer (5.1 channel).

Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

AFront speaker (left)

BFront speaker (right)

CCenter speaker

DSurround speaker (left)

ESurround speaker (right)

HSubwoofer

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).

Tips

• When you connect a 7.1 channel speaker system, the angle A should be the same.

Started Getting

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

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

Notes

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

Be sure to 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.

When connecting optical digital cords, insert the plugs straight in until they click into place.

Do not bend or tie optical digital cords.

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 audio output jack of the TV to 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”.

All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

Notes on connecting DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter

When connecting the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, be sure the connector is inserted with the arrow mark facing towards the arrow mark on the DMPORT jack.

Be sure to make DMPORT connections firmly, insert the connector straight in.

As the connector of the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter is fragile, be sure to handle with care when placing or moving the receiver.

To disconnect the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, squeeze the sides of the connector, since the connector is locked in place.

If you want to connect several digital components, but cannot find an unused input

AHDMI cable (not supplied)

We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.

25US

Notes on connecting cables

We recommend that you use a Sony HDMI cable.

We recommend that you use an HDMI cable with the HDMI logo (made by Sony) for the HDMI jack corresponding to high speed (an HDMI version1.3a, category 2 cable) when you view images or listen to sound during a Deep Color transmission or when you 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

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

Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The video input signals cannot be output from the VIDEO OUT jacks or MONITOR 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 “Audio Out” to “TV+AMP” in the HDMI settings menu (page 49). If you cannot play back multi channel audio source, set to “AMP”. However, the sound will 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 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.

Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the 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, the number of channels or audio format 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.

You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection.

Set the image resolution of the playback component to more than 720p to enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD).

The image resolution of playback component may need certain settings be made before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the playback component.

Not every HDMI component supports all functions that are defined by the specified HDMI version. For example, components that support HDMI, ver. 1.3a, may not support Deep Color.

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

Connecting a DVD player

The following illustration shows how to connect a DVD player.

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

Notes

To input multi channel digital audio from the DVD player, set the digital audio output setting on the DVD player. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the DVD player.

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

Tips

All the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies.

The COMPONENT VIDEO COMPO 2 IN jacks have been assigned to the DVD player. If you connect your DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO COMPO 1 or COMPO 3 IN jacks, set “Input Assign” in the Input menu (page 82).
