10: Calibrating the appropriate speaker settings automatically
(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, and measuring the distance of each speaker from your seating position automatically.
– When using the zone 2/zone 3 function in zone
2/zone 3.
• Cancel MUTING if it is set to on.
Optimizer microphone
Before you perform auto calibration
• Set up and connect the speakers (page 21-
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones. Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.
• During the measurement, 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 the measurement in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and 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 obstacle from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.
Notes
• In the following situations, the measurements have not been performed correctly or auto calibration cannot be performed.
– When headphones are connected.
– When connecting special speakers, such as dipole speakers.
1
Select the speaker pattern
If you connect front high speakers, select the speaker pattern that has front high speakers (5/x.x or 4/x.x) each time you perform auto calibration. Otherwise, the characteristics of the front high speakers cannot be measured.
However, even if you perform auto calibration with a speaker pattern such as
5/2.x or 4/2.x, when surround back speakers or a subwoofer are (is) connected to the receiver, the speaker pattern is set automatically so that all the detected speakers are utilized (e.g., 5/4.1, etc.). If you change the number of speakers you want to use, reselect the desired speaker pattern manually after auto calibration.
Then, you can restore the speaker pattern that has surround back speakers or a subwoofer such as 5/4.x, as the measurement value for those speakers is stored in the receiver.

2
Connect the supplied optimizer microphone to the AUTO CAL
MIC jack.
3
Set up the optimizer microphone.
Place the optimizer microphone at your seating position. Use a stool or tripod so that the optimizer microphone remains at the same height as your ears. Orient the L end of the optimizer microphone toward the front left speaker and the R end of the optimizer microphone toward the front right speaker.
Note
When you position the optimizer microphone at the center of the two speakers, if the angle between the two speakers is too narrow, the optimizer microphone cannot measure the left and right speakers properly.
On setting up the active subwoofer
• When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the subwoofer and turn up the volume beforehand. Turn the LEVEL knob to just before the mid-point.
• If you connect a subwoofer with the crossover frequency function, set the value to maximum.
• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, set it to off (deactivated).
Note
Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer you are using, the setup distance value may be further away from the actual position.
To use the receiver as a preamplifier
You can use the auto calibration function when you use the receiver as a pre-amplifier.
In this case, the distance value shown on the display may differ from the actual distance value. However, there will be no problems, even if you continue to use the receiver with that value.
Performing auto calibration
The auto calibration function allows you to measure the following:
• Speaker connections
1)
• Polarity of speakers
• Speaker distance
2)
• Speaker size
2)
• Speaker level
• Frequency characteristics (EQ)
2) 3)
• Frequency characteristics (Phase)
2) 4)
1)
This receiver corrects signals by analog downmix processing only for the center speaker and subwoofer when the multi-channel input is selected. The correction is invalid for other speakers.
2)
The measurement result is not utilized in the following cases.
– The multi-channel input is selected.
– “2ch Analog Direct” is being used.

Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name* appears on the TV screen and in the front panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name will not appear in the display window.

– “PLIIz Height” is available only when the speaker pattern is set so that there are front high speakers.
• Some speakers may not output sound depending on the sound field.
• If there is any noise present, the noise may be different depending on the sound field you select.
• Even if you set the speaker pattern so that there are both surround back speakers and front high speakers, sound cannot be output from each pair of speakers simultaneously.
When you select “PLIIz Height,” or the digital input signal contains signals for the front high channels, sound is output from the front high speakers. In other cases, sound is output from the surround back speakers.
If you always want to output sound from the front high speakers, set the speaker pattern so that there
are no surround back speakers (page 45).
For example, when you select the “HD-D.C.S.” sound field, sound is output from the surround back speakers if 5/4.x is set (HD-D.C.S.
(STANDARD)), and sound is output from the front high speakers if 5/2.x is set (HD-D.C.S. (FH)).

• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
continued

GB
select “LARGE.” Normally, select
“LARGE.”
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multichannel surround sound, select
“SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer 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 subwoofer 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, surround back, and front high speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL.”
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE.”

D. Range Comp (Dynamic range compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. 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.
x OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
x AUTO
The dynamic range is compressed automatically.
x STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
x 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.

• Dynamic
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full extent, just like at the movie theaters?
Dynamic type emphasizes on the reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S., many rooms are often somewhat reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.
This type acoustically opens up those types of rooms and provides a spacious and dynamism feeling equivalent to a mastering studio.

• Theater
Theater type (default setting) mixes reflection and reverberation sound creating the characteristics of a mastering studio. Additionally, this type mixes in frequency characteristics that are often found in professional studios and movie theaters. It is ideal for watching movies in a listening room that has less reverberation.
• Studio
In Studio type, effects are kept to a minimum, while still providing a great theater experience. This type provides the accuracy of the original recording.

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.

Once the numeric code has been verified, the RM SET UP button flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode. The input button also turns off.
To cancel programming
Press RM SET UP during any step.
The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the maker of the component
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-Sony components and also Sony components that the remote is initially unable to control. Since the remote signal that a component accepts differs depending on the model and year of the component, more than one numeric code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your remote using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.
• All of the input buttons on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.

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 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
