About Dolby Surround Sound
The sound tracks of many programs, including current TV shows and movies that are on video cassette and laser disc, use Dolby Surround Sound. This enhanced audio soundtrack complements the action as it happens on the screen. Surround sound uses four separate channels to direct off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-to right panning, and music, bringing you right into the action. In the past, you would have to go to a movie theater to experience all the benefits of surround sound. But now, with the special sound decoder that is built into this receiver, you can experience Dolby Surround Sound right in your living room, with sound that even rivals what you would experience in a movie house.
Independent 3-Channel Amplifier
The amplifier section is composed of independent power circuits for all channels; front left, right and center channels, and uses a parallel push-pull output circuit. This circuit design allows the output impedance to be lowered, while allowing current flow and total power dissipation to increase. The result is better performance into low impedance loads, and at high power output levels.
Full Bandwidth Center Channel
Because as much as 70% of a typical movie's audio "energy" comes from the center channel, Sony has designed this receiver-with full-bandwidth center channel amplifiers
(20 Hz - 20 kHz). This discrete amp is powered by a large transformer and uses dedicated filter capacitors for each channel to further ensure superior audio cjuality during transients and peak power output periods.
Power Swap
The Power Swap feature lets you add to the receiver's total amplification without compromising the signal integrity (if you want to add a separate power amplifier).
Low Filter (Models for U.S.A. and Canada)
For superior performance when using a subwoofer, this switch will eliminate signals below 100 Hz from the front speakers. This filter will prevent phase cancellation between the subwoofer and the front speakers.
•Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Additiondllv licensed under one or more ot the following patents: U.S. number 3,959,590; Canadian numbers !,l)04,o03 and 1,037,877. "Dolbv", "Pro Logic", and the double-D symbi»I are trademarks of Dolb\' Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
•Lets vou use front and center speakers with either 4 or 8 ohm impedance.
Precautions
On safety
•For USA and Canadian models, operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz. For the Australian model, operate the unit only on 240 V AC, 50 Hz.
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the power outlet only one way. l£you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation
This will prevent internal heat build up in the unit.
Do not install the unit:
•near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts.
•in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
The top ventilation holes must be unobstructed for proper operation of the unit and to prolong the life of its components.
Do not throw away the carton and packing material!
Keep the packaging to transport the system for servicing, etc.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
For customers in the U.S.A.
For detailed safety precautions, see the "IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS" leaflet.
If you have any question or problem concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

||
Inserting the Batteries into the Remote
Control
Insert two size AA batteries (supplied) by matching the + and - on the batteries to the diagram inside the battery compartment.
Notes
•If you plan not to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.
•With a normal use, the batteries should last for approximately six months.
•Do not mix different types of batteries.
Hookups
This section describes how to hookup antennas, audio components, TV /VCRs, speaker systems, and external amplifiers.
Notes
•Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet nor press the POWER switch before completing all other hookups.
•Be sure to fully insert the cable connectors into the jacks. Loose connection may cause hum and noise.
•Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as follows:
Red jacks and plugs: For right channel audio White jacks and plugs: For left channel audio Yellow jacks and plugs: For video
Connecting an AM Antenna
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM antenna terminal, as shown below:
Connecting an FM Antenna
Connect the supplied FM wire antenna for temporary use. For better sound reception, we recommend that you use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) instead.
If you have poor AM reception
Usually, the supplied AM loop antenna ts adec]uate to receive AM broadcasts.
If you have poor reception, connect a 20 to 50 ft. (6 to 15meter) insulated wire to the AM antenna terminal in addition to the loop antenna. If possible, extend the wire out of doors and keep it horizontal.
(Do not remove the AM loop antenna.)
To prevent hum
If you install an outdoor antenna, connect the ground wire to the ANTENNA ground terminal (iJj) for lightning protection.
Connecting Audio Components
Make sure that you connect red plugs to the right channel (R) jacks and white plugs to the left channel (L) jacks.

If your video components have S VIDEO IN/OUT jacks
Use the S VIDEO jacks instead of the conventional video jacks. This will give you a clearer picture.
Notes
•The S VIDEO circuitry and the VIDEO circuitry of this unit are independent of each other. The signals input from the
S VIDEO jacks are not output to the VIDEO jacks, and the signals input from the VIDEO jacks are not output to the S VIDEO jacks.
Therefore, you can connect the S VIDEO jacks between video components which have the S VIDEO jacks but you should connect the VIDEO jacks if one of them has no S VIDEO jacks.
•If your monitor TV does not have an S VIDEO IN jack while other video components have the S VIDEO jacks, be sure you do not connect them to the receiver's S VIDEO jacks. Otherwise, no picture will be seen.
If you are connecting more than two video components
Be sure to use the jacks in the different section for each component.
For example, you cannot use both S VIDEO jacks and VIDEO jacks in VIDEO 1 section simultaneously.
