WARNING
Precautions
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
• If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
• This remote is designed for use with alkaline batteries only. Do not use a combination of different battery types.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the
connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and
noise.
• When connecting an audio/video cord, be sure to
match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on the components: yellow (video) to yellow; white (left, audio) to white; and red (right, audio) to red.

5.1CH Input Hookups

Hooking Up the Components
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with 5.1CH INPUT jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with
5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to this unit to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH INPUT jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input hookups.

Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm. Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Speaker impedance
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center, and rear speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, and set the speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “8Ω.” Check the instruction manual supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure of their impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)
If you connect any speaker to the FRONT, CENTER or REAR SPEAKERS terminals with a nominal impedance between 4 ohms and 8 ohms, you must set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω.”
Notes
• Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front speakers (see page 27).
• Speakers with an impedance of less than 4 ohms cannot be used.
Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 20.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Multi Channel Surround Setup

For the best possible surround sound all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B) and the rear speakers up to
4.5 meters closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 12.0 meters from the listening position (A).
You can place the rear speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).

About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not 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 sub woofer or other “LARGE” speaker. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality it best not to cut them, 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 have 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. To adjust the equalizer, see page 39.

p Sub woofer selection
SUB WOOFER [YES]
Initial setting : YES
• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
p Front speaker distance
FRONT XX.X meter
Initial setting : 5.0 meter Set the distance from your listening position to the front (left or right) speaker (A on page 17).
• Front speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter steps from
1.0 to 12.0 meters.
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
p Center speaker distance
CENTER XX.X meter
Initial setting : 5.0 meter Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.
• Center speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter steps within the range of B on page 17.
p Rear speaker distance
REAR XX.X meter
Initial setting : 3.5 meter Set the distance from your listening position to the rear (left or right) speaker.
• Rear speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter steps within the range of C on page 17.
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

About speaker distances
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 1~2 meters closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the rear speakers are too close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage. Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
p Sub woofer distance
S.W XX.X meter
Initial setting : 5.0 meter Set the distance from your listening position to the sub woofer.
• Sub woofer distance can be set in 0.1 meter steps from
1.0 to 12.0 meters.

p Sub woofer phase polarity
S.W PHASE [NORMAL]
Initial setting : NORMAL Set the sub woofer phase polarity. There is usually no problem when the sub woofer phase polarity is set to "NORMAL". However, depending on the type of front speakers, the position of the sub woofer, and the cut-off frequency of the sub woofer, setting the phase polarity to "REVERSE" may produce better bass. Besides bass reproduction, the richness and tightness of the overall sound may also be affected. While listening from the main listening position, select the setting that best suits your environment.
p Rear speaker position*
REAR POSI [BEHIND]
Initial setting : BEHIND This parameter lets you specify the location of your rear speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound “VIRTUAL” sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.
• Select “SIDE” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section A.
• Select “MIDDLE” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section B.
• Select “BEHIND” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section C.
This setting only effects the “VIRTUAL” sound fields.
p Rear speaker height*
REAR HEIGHT [LOW]
Initial setting : LOW This parameter lets you specify the height of your rear speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound “VIRTUAL” sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.
• Select “LOW” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section A.
• Select “HIGH” if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section B.
This setting only effects the “VIRTUAL” sound fields.
