1: Installing the 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).
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 (SB DEC)” (page 43).

(AUTO CALIBRATION)
The DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) function allows you to perform automatic calibration such as:
• Checking the connection between each speaker and the receiver.
• Adjusting the speaker level.
• Measuring the distance of each speaker from your listening position.
The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels and balance manually according to your preference. For details, see
“9: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
Before you perform Auto
Calibration
Before you perform Auto Calibration, install
and connect the speakers (page 14, 15).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.
• During calibration, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood.
• Perform Auto Calibration in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and to get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.
Notes
• The Auto Calibration function does not work when headphones are connected.
• If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will be set to off automatically.

Adjusting the level
(LEVEL menu)
You can use the LEVEL menu to adjust the balance and level of each speaker. These settings are applied to all sound fields.
Select “1-LEVEL” in the amplifier menus. For
details on adjusting the parameters, see
“Navigating through menus” (page 37) and
“Overview of the menus” (page 38).
LEVEL menu parameters
x T. TONE (Test tone)
Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance while listening to the test tone from your listening position. For details, see
“9: Adjusting the speaker levels and balance
x FRT BAL (Front speaker
balance)
Lets you adjust the balance between front left and right speakers.
x CNT LVL (Center speaker level) x SL LVL (Surround left speaker
level)
x SR LVL (Surround right speaker
level)
x SB LVL (Surround back speaker

b) x SW LVL (Sub woofer level) a)
You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “SINGLE” in
SYSTEM menu.
b)
You can only select this parameter when the surround back speakers are set to “DUAL” in
SYSTEM menu.
x D. RANGE (Dynamic range
compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.
• COMP. OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• COMP. STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
• COMP. 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.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. 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.

SYSTEM menu parameters
x SW SPK (Sub woofer)
• NO
If you have not connected a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.
• YES
If you have connected a sub woofer, select
“YES”.
Tip
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.
x FRT SPK (Front speakers)
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center and surround speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL”
(unless previously set to “NO”).
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. When the sub woofer is set to
“NO”, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE”.
x CNT SPK (Center speaker)
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to “LARGE”.
x SUR SPK (Surround speakers)
The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting.
• NO
If you have not connected surround speakers, select “NO”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround speakers to “LARGE”.
continued
47 GB
x SB SPK (Surround back
speakers)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”, the surround back speakers are also automatically set to “NO” and the setting cannot be changed.
• NO
If you have not connected a surround back speaker, select “NO”.
• SINGLE
If you connect only one surround back speaker, select “SINGLE”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 6.1 channel.
• DUAL
If you connect two surround back speakers, select “DUAL”. The sound will be output to a maximum of 7.1 channel.
Tip
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 sounds have a certain amount of directionality, it is 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. For details, see page 38.
x FRT DIST. (Front speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A).
If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

The distance between the center speaker and the listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters closer than the one between the listening position and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of B in the following diagram is no more than 1.5 meters closer than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters or more when the distance A is 6 meters.
Also, the distance between the surround speakers/ surround back speakers and the listening position
C cannot be more than 4.5 meters closer than the distance between the listening position and the front speakers A. Place the speakers so that the difference in the length of C in the following diagram is no more than 4.5 meters closer than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters or more when the distance A is 6 meters.
This is important because incorrect speaker placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that placing the speakers closer than the required 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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
x SUR POS.
(Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the CINEMA STUDIO EX
modes (page 54). This setup item is not
available when the surround speakers are set to
• BEHD/HI
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and D.
• BEHD/LO
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections B and C.
• SIDE/HI
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and D.
• SIDE/LO
Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to sections A and C.

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 become 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 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/LO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
x CRS. FREQ (Speaker crossover
frequency)
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of the speakers that have been set to “SMALL” on the SYSTEM menu. This setup item is only available when at least one speaker is set to
“SMALL” and the corresponding speaker indicator flashes on the display.
x DIMMER (Brightness of the
display)
Lets you adjust the brightness in 3 steps.

Control for HDMI
Using the Control for
HDMI function for
“BRAVIA” Sync
To use “BRAVIA” Sync, set the Control for
HDMI function as explained below.
By connecting Sony components that are compatible with the Control for HDMI function with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is simplified as follows:
• One-Touch Play: When you play back a component such as a DVD/Blu-ray disc player, the receiver and the TV are turned on automatically and switched to the appropriate HDMI input.
• System Audio Control: While watching TV, you can select to output the sound from the
TV speaker or the speakers connected to the receiver.
• System Power Off: When you turn off the
TV, the receiver and connected components are also turned off simultaneously.
Control for HDMI is a mutual control function standard used by HDMI CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-
Definition Multimedia Interface).
The Control for HDMI function does not work in the following cases:
• When you connect the receiver to a component which does not correspond with
Sony Control for HDMI function.
• When you connect the receiver and components using other than HDMI connection.
We recommend that you connect the receiver to products featuring “BRAVIA” Sync.
Note
Depending on the connected component, the
Control for HDMI function may not work. Refer to the operating instructions of the component.

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 color - coded 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 Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
A 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 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 channel surround. Since surround information is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby surround.
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 channel. Active scenes, especially, are recreated with a more dynamic and realistic sound field.
x Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio into 5.1 channel 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 channel surround sound.
continued
75 GB
x Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Technology for 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel) playback. Along with audio encoded in Dolby
Digital Surround EX, 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital encoded audio can be reproduced in
7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel). Furthermore, existing stereo recorded content can also be reproduced in 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel).
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 channel surround sound. This is the most common audio processing method for DVD-video.
x DTS 96/24
A high sound quality digital signal format. It records audio at a sampling frequency and bit rate of 96kHz/24bit which is the highest possible for DVD-video. The number of playback channels varies depending on the software.
x DTS Digital Surround
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.
x DTS-ES
Format for 6.1 channel playback with surround back information. There are two modes, “Discrete 6.1” which records all channels independently, and “Matrix 6.1” which matrixes surround back channel into LS
(left surround) and RS (right surround) channels. It is ideal for playback of motion picture soundtracks.
x DTS Neo:6
This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio for 6.1 channel playback.
There are two modes to select according to the playback source or your preference, CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources such as music.
x HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection, allowing you to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound. The HDMI specification supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.
x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.
x Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.
x x.v.Colour x.v.Colour is a more familiar term for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international standard for colour space in video.
This standard can express a wider colour range than the currently used broadcast standard.

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.
• The 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).
• Use caution when placing the receiver 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.
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.
