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.
AFront speaker (left) BFront speaker (right) CCenter speaker DSurround speaker (left) ESurround speaker (right) FSubwoofer
HT-SF370 only
HT-SS370 only
Notes
• Be sure to use the supplied speakers.
• For HT-SF370, do not lean on the speaker as it may fall down.
Tips
• The angle A should be the same.

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.

the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
HT-SS370 Optional WS-FV11 or
WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the speaker stand.
You can install your speakers on the wall.

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.
Notes on connecting cables
• 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.

• 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 sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component.
• You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection.
• Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 kHz multi channel sound over an HDMI connection.
• You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player.
• Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details.
• Not every HDMI component supports all functions that are defined by the specified HDMI version. For example, components that support HDMI, version 1.4, may not support Audio Return Channel (ARC).
