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
• Do not disassemble the cabinet as this
may result in an electrical shock.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel
only.
• 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 of the
amplifier 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 (mains) 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 (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only
at the qualified service shop.
On cleaning the amplifier
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.
On the prevention of howling
Do the following:
—lower the volume.
—keep the turntable as far from the
speakers as possible.
—use commercially available audio
insulators on the bottom of the
turntable.
—keep the microphone away from the
speakers during use.
For further protection against howling,
set the speakers or turntable on top of a
heavy wooden board or concrete slab.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your amplifier, please
consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On placement
• Place the amplifier in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
built-up 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.

Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the mains leads of the various
components until all connections are completed.
• Use the audio connecting cords supplied with each
component for hooking up with the amplifier.
Purchase and use optionally available cords as
required.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to prevent hum
and noise.
• When connecting an audio connecting cord, be sure
to match the R(right) and L(left) jacks of the
amplifier to the R and L jacks on the other
components.

Overview
Here you learn how to connect speakers to the
amplifier. You can connect two pairs of speakers,
SPEAKERS MAIN and SPEAKERS BI-WIRE.
Use the above configuration to connect the OUTPUT and
INPUT jacks of:
— a tape deck to the TAPE3 jacks.
— a tape deck or MD deck to the TAPE2/MD jacks.
— a tape deck or DAT deck to the TAPE1/DAT jacks.
Turntable
1 Remove the shorting plugs from the PHONO jacks before
connecting the cables (but not unless you connect a
turntable).
Do not attach the shorting plugs to any set of the REC
OUT jacks. Doing so may stop output from the amplifier
or cause the unit to malfunction.
2 Connect the audio connecting cords.

Connecting to bi-wire system speakers
L
R
Since the two pairs of speaker terminals on your
amplifier, SPEAKERS MAIN and SPEAKERS BI-WIRE,
provide simultaneous speaker output, you can use
them to connect a bi-wire speaker system.
Note
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 16 ohms.
Mains Lead Hookups
Connect the mains lead to this amplifier and then
connect this amplifier and the various audio
components to a wall outlet.
Note
Separate the mains lead, audio connecting cords and speaker
cords. Noise or sound deterioration may occur when audio
connecting cords are in contact with the mains lead, or when
the mains lead or speaker cords are placed near the tuner’s
loop aerial or aerial wire.

headphones
Connect the headphones to
PHONES and set SPEAKERS
to OFF.
z To listen directly to the
input signal
Press SOURCE DIRECT to
ON. The SOURCE DIRECT
indicator lights up. Since the
tone control circuits are
bypassed, you can enjoy the
original sound of the source.
Note
When SOURCE DIRECT is set to
ON, you cannot adjust BASS,
TREBLE, or BALANCE.
z For better sound quality
When you listen to
programme sources connected
to the PHONO, TUNER,
SACD/CD or AUX jacks, set
REC OUT to OFF to eliminate
interference from the REC
OUT circuit.
Note
Avoid high speaker output at
which the sound is distorted.

the same time.
Recording is not possible,
however, from the TAPE3
jacks to the TAPE1/DAT or
TAPE2/MD jacks.
z You can monitor the
recorded sound by setting
INPUT SELECTOR
But only if your tape deck has
separate recording and
playback heads. To monitor
the sound being recorded
from the TAPE1/DAT jacks,
for example, set INPUT
SELECTOR to TAPE1/DAT.
z You can listen to one
programme source while
recording from another
This is because your amplifier
outputs signals for recording
and the speakers separately.
For example, set INPUT
SELECTOR to TUNER and
REC OUT SELECTOR to
SACD/CD.

AVERTISSEMENT
Afin d’éviter tout risque
d’incendie ou d’électrocution,
ne pas exposer cet 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
• Afin d’éviter tout choc électrique, ne
pas ouvrir le coffret. Confiez
l’entretien de l’amplificateur à un
technicien qualifié.
• Si un solide ou un liquide tombait
dans l’amplificateur, débranchez-le et
faites-le vérifier par un technicien
qualifié avant de le remettre en
marche.
Sources d’alimentation
• Avant de mettre l’amplificateur en
service, vérifiez si sa tension de
fonctionnement correspond à celle du
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 secteur
tant qu’il reste branché sur la prise
murale, même s’il a été mis hors
tension.
• Débranchez l’amplificateur de la prise
murale si vous prévoyez de ne pas
l’utiliser pendant longtemps. Pour
débrancher le cordon secteur, tirez sur
la fiche. Ne tirez jamais sur le cordon
proprement dit.
• Le cordon d’alimentation secteur doit
être changé dans un centre de service
après-vente seulement.
Nettoyage de l’amplificateur
Nettoyez le coffret, le panneau et les
commandes avec un chiffon doux,
légèrement imbibé d’une solution
détergente douce. Ne pas utiliser de
tampon ou de poudre à récurer ou de
solvant, comme l’alcool ou l’essence.
Pour éviter la rétroaction acoustique
Procédez comme suit:
— réduisez le volume;
— éloignez le tourne-disque le plus
possible des enceintes;
— mettez des isolateurs audio, en
vente dans le commerce, sous le
tourne-disque.
— éloignez-vous des enceintes quand
vous utilisez un microphone.
Comme autre mesure de protection
contre la rétroaction acoustique, vous
pouvez aussi installer les enceintes ou le
tourne-disque sur une planche de bois
épaisse ou une dalle de béton.
Pour toute question ou problème au
sujet de cet appareil, veuillez contacter
votre revendeur Sony agréé.
Installation
• Installez l’amplificateur dans un
endroit garantissant une ventilation
suffisante afin d’éviter une surchauffe
interne et de prolonger sa durée de
vie.
• Ne pas installer l’amplificateur près
d’une source de chaleur ou dans un
endroit exposé à la lumière directe du
soleil, à de la poussière excessive ou à
des chocs mécaniques.
• Ne rien poser sur l’amplificateur pour
éviter l’obstruction des ailettes de
ventilation ou une panne.
Fonctionnement
Avant de raccorder d’autres appareils,
veillez à éteindre et débrancher
l’amplificateur.
