Getting Started

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

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD or Blu-ray disc 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).

• When you connect a 7.1 channel speaker system,

the angle A should be the same.

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

Getting Started

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

2: Connecting speakers

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

If you connect only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/FRONT B/BI-AMP L terminals.

If you are not using surround back speaker, and you have an additional front speaker system, connect the additional front speaker system to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/FRONT B/ BI-AMP terminals. Set “SB Assign” to “Speaker B” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 66). You can select the front speaker system you want to use with SPEAKERS on the front panel (page 37).

If you are not using surround back speakers, you can connect the front speakers to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/FRONT B/BI-AMP terminals using a bi-amplifier connection (page 105). Set “SB Assign” to “BI-AMP” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 66).

When you connect a subwoofer 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 subwoofer, then sound may not be output.

Note

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.

Notes

• 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.

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

• 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 “Function for conversion of 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 t he TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between either “Fixed” or “Variable”.

Connecting components with HDMI jacks

HDMI is the abbreviated name for HighDefinition Multimedia Interface. It is an interface which transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Sony recommends that you connect components to the receiver using an HDMI cable. With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high quality sound and high quality images.

However, it is necessary to connect the audio output of the TV to the audio input of the receiver using an optical digital cord to listen to the TV multi channel surround sound broadcasting from the receiver.

By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync compatible components using HDMI cables, ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes operations simpler (page 85).

Notes

• Be sure to change the factory setting of the HDMI 1–4 input button on the remote so that you can use the button to control your components. For details, see “Programming the remote” (page 109).

• You can also rename the HDMI input so that it can be displayed on the receiver’s display. For details, see “Naming the input (Name Input)” (page 48).

HDMI features

• A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS, and Linear PCM.

• The receiver can receive Multi Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency of 192 kHz or less with an HDMI connection.

• Analog video signals input to the VIDEO jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be up-converted as HDMI signals. Audio signals are not output from an HDMI OUT jack when the image is converted.

• This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), Deep Colour and x.v.Colour transmission, extended by HDMI version 1.3.

• This receiver supports the Control for HDMI function. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” (page 85).

• HDMI 3 input has a better sound quality. When you need a higher sound quality, connect your component to the HDMI IN 3 (for AUDIO) jack and select HDMI 3 as input.

Sony recommends that you use an HDMI-authorized cable or Sony HDMI cable.

BAudio cord (not supplied) COptical digital cord (not supplied)

Connect at least one of the audio cords (B or C).

Notes on connecting cables

• 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 version 1.3a, category 2 cable) when you view images or listen to sound during a Deep Colour 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.

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.

• A video signal 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 74). 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.

• 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 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, version 1.3a, may not support Deep Colour.

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