3: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).

Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

Center speaker

Front speaker (Right)

Surround speaker (Right)

Front speaker (Left)

Sub woofer

Surround speaker (Left)

Tips

• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand

(available only in certain countries).

• You can also install the front and surround speakers on the wall (page 13).

Note

Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.

Attaching foot pads

To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the illustration below.

Note

Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than 1.5 meters

(5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters

(15 feet) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.

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 further away.

For example, setting the center speaker distance 1–2 meters (3-6 feet) 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 surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

• BEHD/HI

Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B and D.

Tip

Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.

For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to

“SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”.

Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHD/HI” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right.

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.

If you are not sure which sounds best, select

“BEHD/LO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

About CINEMA STUDIO EX modes

CINEMA STUDIO EX modes are suitable for watching motion picture DVDs (etc.), with multi channel surround effects. You can reproduce the sound characteristics of Sony

Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studio in your home.

The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes consist of the following three elements.

Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers from a single pair of actual surround speakers.

• Screen Depth Matching

Creates the sensation that the sound is coming from inside the screen like in theaters.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation

Reproduces the type of reverberation found in theaters.

The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes integrate these three elements simultaneously.

Notes

• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.

• When listening with sound fields that employ the virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

• MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tip

Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.

“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the

“MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby

Digital sources only.

Additional Information

Precautions

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 receiver is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver 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.

• (Models of area code U, CA only)

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 heat buildup

Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

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.

• Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front and center speakers and the sub woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers

slightly further away from TV set (page 11).

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after

15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on 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.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound no matter which component is selected.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely and correctly.

• Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on.

• Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

• Check that MASTER VOLUME –/+ is not set at

“VOL MIN”.

• Check that the headphones are not connected.

• Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the muting function.

There is no sound from a specific component.

• Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component.

• Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is

(are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component.

• Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver.

There is no sound from one of the front speakers.

• Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack to verify that sound is output from the headphones. If only one channel is output from the headphones, the component may not be connected to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. If both channels are output from the headphones, the front speaker may not be connected to the receiver correctly.

Check the connection of the front speaker which is not outputting any sound.

There is no sound from analog 2 channel sources.

• Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to

“COAX IN” or “OPT IN” (page 28).

There is no sound from digital sources (from

COAXIAL or OPTICAL input jack).

• Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to

“ANALOG” (page 28). Check that the INPUT

MODE is not set to “COAX IN” for the sources from OPTICAL input jack, or set to “OPT IN” for the sources from COAXIAL input jack.

The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely.

• Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu.

There is severe hum or noise.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely.

• Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light.

• Move your TV away from the audio components.

• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center or/and surround speakers.

• Select a CINEMA STUDIO EX mode (page 26).

• Adjust the speaker level (page 17).

There is no sound from the sub woofer.

• Check that the sub woofer is connected correctly and securely.

The surround effect cannot be obtained.

• Make sure the sound field function is on (press

MOVIE or MUSIC).

• Sound fields do not function for the signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.

• Check that the antennas are connected securely.

Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if necessary.

• The signal strength of the stations is too weak

(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning.

• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly

(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).

• No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning

preset stations). Preset the stations (page 20).

• Press DISPLAY repeatedly so that the frequency appears in the display.

RDS does not work.*

• Make sure that you are tuned to an FM RDS station.

• Select a stronger FM station.

The RDS information that you want does not

appear.*

• Contact the radio station and find out whether they actually provide the service in question. If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.

* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.

Remote control

The remote does not function.

• Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver.

• Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver.

• Replace all the batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak.

• Make sure you select the correct input on the remote.

• To activate the buttons with orange printing, press

TV and the button you want simultaneously.

• Before you use the V/v/B/b button for receiver operation, press MAIN MENU. To operate other components, press TOP MENU/GUIDE or AV

MENU after pressing the input button.
