Functions for an optimum surround environment

Automatically calibrating your viewing and listening environment to create an ideal surround space using Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C. EX*)

 D.C.A.C. EX measures and calibrates the distance, angle, level, and frequency characteristics of

the speakers using the supplied stereo calibration microphone (page 40).

 The optimum sound is then produced by simulating ideal speaker positions and angles

(Speaker Relocation**).

Calibration functions for sound fields corresponding to various speaker installation conditions

 Phantom Surround Back**: Allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect acoustically

equivalent to that of a 7-channel speaker system, using only a 5-channel speaker system, and when using a 5.1.2-channel speaker system, it allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect acoustically equivalent to that of a 7.1.2-channel speaker system.

 Front Surround: Allows you to enjoy virtual surround sound with only two front speakers

(page 28).

 In-Ceiling Speaker Mode**: Reproduces more natural sound by lowering the position of audio

output from speakers installed in the ceiling.

 Center Speaker Lift Up**: Reproduces natural sound that feels more authentic by lifting the

sound from the center speaker up to the height of the screen.

* Digital Cinema Auto Calibration EX ** For details, see the Help Guide.

Audio technologies for high-definition music playback

Sound fields selectable by preference

You can select from a variety of sound fields according to speaker connections or input sources (2ch Stereo, Direct, Auto Format Decoding, etc.) (page 46).

Upscaling of existing sound sources into higher resolutions with the same quantity of information as High-Resolution Audio using DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX)*

The receiver restores signals in the micro region of compressed sound sources by up-sampling the sampling frequency and expanding the bit depth to the equivalent of a maximum of 192 kHz/ 24 bits, letting you enjoy CDs and lossy compressed sound sources such as MP3 files in expressive sound quality closer to the original.

High-definition BLUETOOTH music playback (LDAC)*

LDAC allows approximately three times more data to be transmitted than with the previous BLUETOOTH A2DP-SBC (328 kbps, 44.1 kHz). The receiver supports wireless playback (transmission/reception) of high-quality sound when speakers, headphones, a Walkman, or a smartphone that supports LDAC are connected to the receiver via a BLUETOOTH connection.

Reproduction of authentic impact and realistic sense of immersion in movies (Sound Optimizer)*

Sound Optimizer calibrates the disparity in acoustic frequency characteristic between movie production and playback caused by different volume levels, reproducing the impact and immersive surround effect that the movie's sound engineers intended even when it is played back at low volume levels in a home.

* For details, see the Help Guide.

Other useful functions

Compatible with "SongPal" and "SongPal Link"*

SongPal is a dedicated app for operating SongPal compatible audio devices manufactured by Sony from a smartphone or tablet device. It lets you operate the receiver from the smartphone or tablet device and use the SongPal Link function.

Equipped with an ARC-compatible HDMI jack

TV sound can be output from the receiver using only one HDMI cable (page 31).

Supports bi-amping of front speakers

You can enhance the sound quality of the front speakers by connecting different amplifiers to the tweeter and woofer using a bi-amplifier connection (page 26).

Support for music and video playback in different rooms

 The Wireless Multi-Room function** lets you listen to the same music in different rooms.  The multi-zone features let you output audio and video signals to another room.

* For details, see the Help Guide. ** You can enjoy the sound of the device that is connected to the receiver. The sound is delayed behind the

For a 4K TV connection, visit the Help Guide.

Notes on connection

 Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).  Sony recommends that you use an HDMI cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized

cable. Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. For video signals that require a high bandwidth such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit etc., be sure to use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports bandwidths up to 18 Gbps.

 When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0

10 bit, be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal format” (page 42).

 We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI

conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly.

 Depending on the status of the connection between the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image

on the TV screen may be distorted. If this is the case, place the antenna (aerial) farther away from the receiver.

 When connecting an optical digital cable, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.  Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.  All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling

frequencies.

 When connecting a TV to the receiver via the TV IN jacks of the receiver, set the sound output

jack of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between “Fixed” or “Variable.”

 When you connect the TV to HDMI OUT B/HDMI ZONE jack, be sure to set [HDMI Out B Mode]
