Getting Started
1: Installing the speakers
Getting Started
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel
speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like
multi channel surround sound, be sure to
connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers)
and a subwoofer (5.1 channel).
You can place your speakers as shown below.
• For HT-SF370, do not lean on the speaker as it
may fall down.
Tips
• The angle A should be the same.
AA
30˚30˚
100˚-120˚100˚-120˚
• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.

Installing the speakers on a flat
surface
Installing the speakers on the
wall
HT-SF370 only
Before you install the center speaker and the
subwoofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot
pads to prevent vibration or movement as
shown in the illustration below.
Note
Attach the small foot pads to the center speaker and
big foot pads to the subwoofer.
Installing the speakers on the
speaker stand
For greater flexibility in positioning the
speakers, you are recommended to use the
speaker stand as below.

Notes
• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material
and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially
fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and
fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.
• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the
wall material or screws to be used.
• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage
caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural
calamity, etc.
• For HT-SF370, if you install the speakers on the
wall, you do not need to attach the supplied
speaker stand.

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.
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Synccompatible components using HDMI cables,
operations can be simplified. See ““BRAVIA”
Sync Features” (page 39).
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.
• This receiver supports Deep Color and
xvYCC transmission.

• Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a
Standard HDMI cable, 1080p or Deep Color
images may not be displayed properly.
• Sony recommends that you use an HDMI
authorized cable or Sony HDMI cable.
• 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.

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 the audio format of the 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
