3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 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).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you

Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.
• 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-FV10D (HT-5950DP only) or
WS-FV11 floor stand (available only in certain countries).
• You can also install the front, surround and surround back speakers on the wall (see page 17).
Note
Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround and surround back 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.

Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround back speaker. Surround back speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening position (D).
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 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 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 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!

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.

Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak Theater” cinema production studio. This mode is ideal for watching science-fiction or action movies with lots of sound effects.
x C.ST.EX C (CINEMA STUDIO EX C) DCS
Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony
Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This mode is ideal for watching musicals or films where orchestra music is featured in the soundtrack.
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.
• Virtual Multi Dimension
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.
x EFCT. XXX (Effect level)
Initial setting: STD
Lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in
3 levels – MIN (minimum effect), STD (standard effect) and MAX (maximum effect).

Programming the remote
You can program the remote to control non-
Sony components by changing the code. Once the control signals have been memorized, you can use those components as part of your system.

To activate the input after programming
Press the programmed button to activate the input you want.
If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:
• If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the
batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the indicator flashes 4 times in quick succession while entering the numeric code,
an error has occurred. Start again from step 1.
Notes
• The indicator turns off while a valid button is pressed.
• In step 2, if several input buttons are pressed, only the
last pressed button is valid.
• In step 2, if you press TV ?/1, only TV VOL +/– ,
TV CH +/–, TV/VIDEO and WIDE buttons are reprogrammed.
• In step 3, if an input button is pressed, the new input
is selected and the programming procedure returns to
• For the numeric codes, only the first three numbers entered are valid.

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 normally 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 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.
• 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 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 and surround back speaker are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place
them slightly further away from a TV set (page 15).
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.

(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 35).
• Check that you have not selected MULTI CH IN function.*
There is no sound from digital sources (from
COAXIAL or OPTICAL input jack).
• Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to
“ANALOG” (page 35). 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.
• Check that you have not selected MULTI CH IN function.*
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 (10 feet) away from a TV set or fluorescent light.
• Move your audio components away from the TV.
• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
There is no sound from the surround back speakers.
• Some discs have no Dolby Digital EX flag even though the packages have Dolby Digital EX
logos. In this case, select “SB ON” (page 38).
There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center/surround/ surround back speakers.
• Select the CINEMA STUDIO EX mode
• Adjust the speaker level (page 22).
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.
