Getting Started

1: Installing speakers

Getting Started

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).

Example of a 7.1 channel speaker system configuration

Tips

• 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.

• 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).

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 93).

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 117).

• 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 49).

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 Color and x.v.Color transmission, extended by HDMI version 1.3.

• This receiver supports the Control for HDMI function. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync Features” (page 93).

• 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.
