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).

9: Calibrating the appropriate speaker settings automatically

(Auto Calibration)

This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) function which allows you to perform automatic calibration to measure the following:

• Speaker connections

• Polarity of speakers

• Speaker distance

• Speaker size

• Speaker level

• Frequency characteristics

The measurement result is not utilized when the “Analog Direct” is selected.

• Signals with a sampling frequency of higher than 96 kHz are always played back at either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

• The measurement result is not utilized when Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of higher than 96 kHz are being received.

The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels and balance manually according to your preference. For details, see “Test Tone (Test tone)” (page 75).

a)b)

Before you perform Auto Calibration

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 17–19).

• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.

• During the measurement, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood.

• Perform the measurement in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and get a more accurate measurement.

• If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.

• When you use a bi-amplifier connection, set “SB Assign” to “BI-AMP” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 73) before you perform Auto Calibration.

• When you use front speakers B connection, set “SB Assign” to “Speaker B” in the Speaker Settings menu (page 73) before you perform Auto Calibration.

• If you want to use surround amplifier, be sure to pair the surround amplifier to S-AIR main unit before you perform Auto Calibration (page 102).

• Select the seating position as position 1, 2 or 3 to save the Auto Calibration result (page

72).

Notes

• The Auto Calibration function does not work in the

following cases. – Headphones are connected – SPEAKERS is set to off.

• If you activate the muting function during Auto

Calibration, the muting function will autom atically be set to off.

This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output to a subwoofer from a 2 channel signal. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6 Music” when all speakers are set to “Large”. In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

Note

When one of the sound fields for music is selected, no sound is output from the subwoofer if all the speakers are set to “Large”. However, the sound will be output from the subwoofer if – the digital input signal contains LFE signals. – the front and surround speakers are set to “Small”. – the sound field for movie is selected. – “Portable Audio” is selected.

To adjust the distance from the seating position to each speaker

You can adjust the distance from the listening position to each speaker (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right, subwoofer).

To adjust the size of each speaker

You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right) size.

1 Press V/v/B/b repeatedly to select the

speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the size, then press .

3 Press V/v repeatedly to set the size of

the selected speaker, then press .

•Large If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “Large”. Normally, select “Large”.

•Small If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “Small” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other “Large” speakers.

Tips

• The “Large” and “Small” settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the subwoofer or other “Large” speakers. However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to “Large” if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to hav e bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to “Small”. If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to “Large”. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels.

• The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.

• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the center, surround, and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.

• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “Large”.

2 Press B/b repeatedly to select “Size:”.

x D.Range Comp

(Dynamic range compression)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•MAX The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

•STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

• AUTO The dynamic range is applied automatically with Dolby TrueHD source or other source is set to “OFF”.

•OFF The dynamic range is not compressed.

x Distance Unit (Distance unit)

Lets you select the unit of measure for setting distances.

• FEET The distance is displayed in feet.

• METER The distance is displayed in meters.

Tips

• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.

• “STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
