1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (7 speakers and one sub woofer).
Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 channel 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 system).
Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround
EX format if you connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel system) or two surround back speakers (7.1 channel
system.) See “Using the surround back decoding mode” (page 68).

Notes
• This function does not work in the following cases.
– The multi-channel input is selected.
– DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz are being received.
– Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz are being received.
• If you set up the sound field effect while the receiver is receiving signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz, the signals will always be played back at either 44.1 kHz or
48 kHz.
• If you set up the sound field during DTS 96/24 signal reception, the signal will be played back only at 48 kHz.
• The beginning of the sound stream may be dropped out when Neural-THX processing is turned on or off.
Tips
• We usually recommend “A.F.D. Auto,” however sometimes it may be better to use SB Decoding to match the input stream to the mode you prefer.
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc., by looking at the logo on the package.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIx decoding is effective, when a multi-channel signal is input.
At this time, the setup of “SB Decoding” and “SB
Dec Mode” in the Surround settings menu becomes invalid. When you select decoding modes other than Dolby Pro Logic IIx, multi-channel sound
(being encoded) is output.
• Neural-THX is effective when multi-channel signals are input.
If you connect a sub woofer
This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer when there is no L.F.E. signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a sub woofer to a 2 channel signal. However, the low frequency signal is not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6
Music” when all speakers are set to “LARGE.”
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

You can adjust the distance from the seating position to each speaker (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right, sub woofer).
You can adjust the distance from 1.0 meter to
10.0 meters (3 feet 3 inches to 32 feet

(Size of each speaker)
You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right) size.
the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
Tips
• The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each speaker determine whether 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” speakers.
However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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.
• The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.
• When the front speakers are set to “SMALL,” the center, surround, and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL.”
• If you do not use the sub woofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE.” x Position
(Surround speakers position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX modes. This setup item is not available when there are no surround speakers.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE.” Normally, select
“LARGE.”
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi-channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate

• SIDE/LOW
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and C.
• SIDE/HIGH
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and D.
• BEHD/LOW
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and C.
• BEHD/HIGH
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections 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 seating 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 seating position, the surround effects become unclear unless set to
“SIDE.”
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHD” if your speakers are located high above the seating position, even if they are located to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you play back 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” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Tips
• 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.

Programming the remote
You can customize the remote to match the components connected to your receiver. You can even program the remote to control non-
Sony components and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control.
The procedure below uses as an example a case in which a VCR made by a company other than Sony is connected to the VIDEO 2 IN jacks on the receiver.
Before you begin, note that:
– You cannot change the settings of PHONO.
– The remote can control only components that accept infrared wireless control signals.
Be sure to turn on the receiver and point the remote towards the receiver when performing the following procedure.

Additional Information
Glossary x Cinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing theater using three technologies: “Virtual
Multi Dimensions,” “Screen Depth Matching,” and “Cinema Studio Reverberation.”
“Virtual Multi Dimensions,” the virtual speaker technology, creates a virtual multisurround environment with actual speakers up to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound experience of a theater with the latest facilities into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound usually created in a theater using sound emission from behind the screen. This is then added to the front and center channels.
“Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art dubbing theaters and recording studios, including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
x Component video
A format for transmitting video signal information consisting of three separate signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as
DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted more faithfully. The three jacks are colorcoded green, blue, and red.
x Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video signal information. The luminance signal Y and chrominance signal C are combined and transmitted together.
x Crossover frequency
The frequency at which two speaker’s frequencies intersect.
x DeepColor
Video signals for which the color depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been raised.
The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with the current HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel will be 36, etc., bits when the receiver corresponds to DeepColor.
Since the gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed.
x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
Unique sound reproduction technology for home theater developed by Sony, in cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment, for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital
Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by filmmakers can be experienced at home.
x Digital Concert Hall
“Digital Concert Hall” delivers richer sound for 2ch stereo sources such as CDs, etc. With the use of 5.1ch or 7.1ch speakers and virtual speaker technology, stereoscopic reverberation and reflected sound are reproduced, and music software can be enjoyed with richer sound and presence. The sound field in a concert hall is recreated by a geometrical analysis of the concert hall and precise modeling of reflected and reverberant sounds based on actual measured data. Tonal qualities such as sound strength and frequency response are taken into account and calculated on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to bring reverberation in. Sound is enjoyed with natural and comfortable resonance, as if listening to music in a concert hall.
120 GB
x Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It consists of front (left/right), center, surround
(left/right) and sub woofer channels. It is a designated audio standard for DVD-video and also known as 5.1 channels surround.
x Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus provides the flexibility and efficiency to deliver more channels of compelling surround sound for high-definition video media. Its superior coding efficiencies enable up to 7.1ch of high-quality multichannel audio without negatively impacting bit budgets allocated for video performance or additional feature sets.
x Dolby Digital Surround EX
Acoustic technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, Inc. Surround back information is matrixed into regular left and right surround channels so that the sound can be reproduced in 6.1 channels. Active scenes, especially, are recreated with a more dynamic and realistic sound field.
x Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2 channels stereo recorded audio into 5.1 channels for playback.
There is a MOVIE mode for movies and
MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as music. Old movies encoded in the traditional stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1 channels surround sound.
The GAME mode is suitable for video games.
x Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Technology for 7.1 channels (or 6.1 channels) playback. Along with audio encoded in Dolby
Digital Surround EX, 5.1 channels Dolby
Digital encoded audio can be reproduced in
7.1 channels (or 6.1 channels). Furthermore, existing stereo recorded content can also be reproduced in 7.1 channels (or 6.1 channels).
x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is decoded and output in 4 channels surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD-video.
x Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s lossless audio technology developed for high-definition optical discs. Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-forbit identical to the original studio masters and provides supreme-quality audio up to 8ch at

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 on the back 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 (mains lead), 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 (mains lead) must be changed only at a 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.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna
(aerial).)
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 questions or problems concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
