WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Precautions
On safety
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the amplifier and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
•Before operating the amplifier, 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 amplifier.
•The amplifier is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the amplifier itself has been turned off.
•If you are not going to use the amplifier for a long time, be sure to disconnect the amplifier 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 amplifier in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the amplifier.
•Do not place the amplifier 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 amplifier.
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 amplifier, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Basic Operations
Note
Pressing a SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button will activate the component indicated for that button (i.e., the component connected to the respective connector). If, however, the connected component is different from the one indicated for the button, the component will not be activated when the button is pressed only once.
For example, to watch Sony LD player connected to the VIDEO 2 jacks (page 7):
Press VIDEO 2 to switch the function, then press LD to set the remote control to operate the LD player.
To play the decoded Dolby Digital (AC-3) program source connected to the 5.1 INPUT jacks
Press 5.1 INPUT so that the 5.1 INPUT indicator on the main unit lights up.
If you want to change the factory setting of a button
See page 20.
If the component does not turn on
Press the power switch on the component.
2Start playing.
See “Remote Button Descriptions” on page 26 for details.
To turn off the components
Press SYSTEM OFF. This will also turn off the video/ audio component connected to AC OUTLET on the back of this unit at the same time.
zIf you use a Sony TV
When you press TV to watch a TV program, the TV turns on and switches to the TV input. The TV also turns on automatically and switches to the appropriate video input when you press VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2. If the TV does not switch to the appropriate input automatically, press TV/VIDEO on the remote.
zWatching TV without the amplifier (for Sony TVs only)
Press TV CONTROL ON to set the remote to operate TV functions only. When you press this button, the TV turns on and switches to the TV input. If the TV does not automatically switch to the TV input, press TV/ VIDEO.

Basic Operations
zTo select another component when a decoded Dolby Digital (AC-3) program source is selected
Press any SYSTEM CONTROL/FUNCTION button to turn off the 5.1 INPUT indicator on the main unit.
Making components selectable/ unselectable
You can do these settings so that certain components become unselectable even if you press AUDIO/VIDEO FUNCTION.
1Press SET UP repeatedly to select FUNC HOOK UP.
2Use the digital processing control buttons ( 
/ 
) to select a component.
3Use the digital processing control buttons ( 
/ 
) to select –Y– (selectable) or –N– (unselectable).
Note
If you try to select the component which is set to –N– by using the remote, “CANNOT USE” appears in the display.
Indexing Program Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for program sources. These index names (for example, “VHS”) appear in the amplifier’s display when a program source is selected.
Note that no more than one name can be entered for each program source.
This function is useful for distinguishing components of the same kind; 2 VCRs, for example, can be specified as “VHS” and “8MM,” respectively. It is also handy for identifying components connected to jacks meant for another type of component; for example, a second CD player connected to the TUNER jacks.

Customizing the Sound Fields
Each sound field is composed of a tone parameter (bass/treble) and surround sound parameters — variables of sound that create the sound image. You can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of the sound parameters to suit your listening situation.
Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in memory unless the amplifier is unplugged for about 1 week. To change a customized sound field, make new adjustments to the sound field.

Glossary
Center mode
Setting of speakers to enhance Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode. To obtain the best possible surround sound, select one of the four center modes (page 15) according to your speaker system.
Delay time
Time lag between the surround sound output from front speakers and rear speakers. By adjusting the delay time of the rear speakers, you can obtain the feeling of presence. Make the delay time longer when you have placed the rear speakers in a small room or close to your listening position, and make it shorter when you have placed them in a large room or apart from your listening position.
Dolby Digital (AC-3)
This is a new digital surround system proposed to reproduce Dolby SR-D (the 3 dimensional sound system developed for use in movie theaters) in the home. This technology allows you to enjoy the full 5.1 ch soundtrack intended by the filmmaker, in the comfort of your own home.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Decoding system of Dolby Surround sound standardized in TV programs and movies. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves sound image by using four separate channels: off-screen audio effects, on-screen dialog, left-to-right panning, and music. These channels manipulate the sound to be heard and enhance the action as it happens on the screen. To take advantage of Dolby Pro Logic, you should have at least one pair of rear speakers and/or one center speaker. You also need to select the appropriate center mode to enjoy a full effect.
Effect level
Combination of the level of early reflections and reverberation. You can adjust the effect level in 6 levels. As you select higher levels, the room becomes “live,” and as you select lower levels, the room becomes “dead.”
5.1 INPUT jacks
These jacks are used to input decoded Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio signals, allowing you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound. Use these jacks to connect a Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder or a DVD player with a built-in (AC-3) decoder.
Parameter
Variable of sound that composes sound image, such as tone or delay time. You can customize the pre-programmed sound fields by adjusting parameters to suit your listening situation.
Sound field
Sound pattern produced by a sounding source or sources in a given environment due to direct and reflected sounds and the acoustics of the environment.
Surround sound
Sound that consists of three elements: direct sound, early reflected sound (early reflections) and reverberative sound (reverberation). The acoustics where you hear the sound affect the way these three sound elements are heard. These sound elements are combined in such a way that you can actually feel the size and the type of a concert hall.

AVERTISSEMENT
Afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou d’électrocution, ne pas exposer l’appareil à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
Afin d’écarter tout risque d’électrocution, garder le coffret fermé.
Ne confier l’entretien de l’appareil qu’à un personnel qualifié.
N’installez pas l’appareil dans un espace confiné comme dans une bibliothèque ou un meuble encastré.
Précautions
Sécurité
•Si un solide ou un liquide pénètre dans le coffret, débranchez l’amplificateur et faites-le vérifier par un technicien qualifié avant de le remettre en service.
Sources d’alimentation
•Avant de mettre l’amplificateur en service, vérifiez que sa tension de fonctionnement correspond à celle du courant secteur local. La tension de fonctionnement est indiquée sur la plaque signalétique à l’arrière de l’amplificateur.
•L’amplificateur n’est pas déconnecté de la source d’alimentation tant qu’il est branché sur une prise murale, même si vous le mettez hors tension.
•Si vous ne comptez pas utiliser l’amplificateur pendant un certain temps, débranchez-le de la prise murale. Pour débrancher le cordon, tirez sur la fiche. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon proprement dit.
•Par mesure de sécurité, une lame de la fiche est plus large que l’autre et vous ne pouvez l’insérer que dans un sens. Si vous avez du mal à enfoncer complètement la fiche dans la prise, contactez votre revendeur.
•Si le cordon d’alimentation secteur doit être remplacé, adressez-vous à un technicien qualifié uniquement.
Installation
•Installez l’amplificateur dans un endroit bien ventilé pour éviter tout risque de surchauffe interne et prolonger la durée de vie des composants.
•N’installez pas l’amplificateur près d’une source de chaleur, dans un endroit en plein soleil, poussiéreux ou exposé à des chocs mécaniques.
•Ne posez rien sur le coffret qui puisse bloquer les orifices de ventilation et provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement.
Fonctionnement
•Avant de raccorder d’autres appareils, mettez l’amplificateur hors tension et débranchez-le.
Nettoyage
•Nettoyez le coffret, le panneau et les commandes avec un chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente douce. N’utilisez pas de tampon abrasif, poudre à récurer ou solvant, comme de l’alcool ou de la benzine.
Pour toute question ou tout problème concernant l’amplificateur, consultez votre revendeur Sony.
