Auto Format Direct

(A.F.D.)/2 channel sound mode

Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode:

This mode allows you to listen to higher fidelity sound and select the decoding mode for listening to a 2 channel stereo sound as multi channel sound.

2 channel sound mode: You can switch the output sound to 2 channel sound regardless of the recording formats of the software you are using, the playback equipment connected, or the sound field settings of the receiver.

x A.F.D. Auto (A.F.D. AUTO)

Presets the sound as it was recorded/ encoded without adding any surround effects.

However, for USA and Canada models, this receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signals.

x Multi Stereo (MULTI ST.)

Outputs 2 channel left/right signals from all speakers. However, sound may not be output from certain speakers depending on the speaker settings.

x 2ch Stereo (2CH ST.)

The receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers only. There is no sound from the subwoofer.

Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels.

x Analog Direct (A. DIRECT)

You can switch the audio of the selected input to 2 channel analog input. This function enables you to enjoy high quality analog sources.

When using this function, only the volume and front speaker level can be adjusted.

Note

You cannot select “Analog Direct” when you select BD, DVD, GAME and USB as input.

Movie mode

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters into your home.

HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is

Sony’s new innovative home theater technology using the latest acoustic and digital signal processing technologies. It is based on precise response measurement data of a mastering studio.

45

GB

With this mode, you are able to enjoy Bluray and DVD movies at home with not only the high quality of sound, but also the best sound ambience, just as the movie’s sound engineer intended in the mastering process.

You can select the effect type for HD-

D.C.S. as follows.

Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an environment which is reverberant but lacks a spacious feeling (where sound absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of sound and reproduces the sound of a large, classical movie theater. Thus, the spacious feeling of a dubbing theater is emphasized and a unique acoustic field is created.

Theater: This setting is suitable for a general living room. It reproduces the reverberation of sound just like in a movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most appropriate for watching content recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you want the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Studio: This setting is suitable for a living room with the appropriate sound equipment. It reproduces the reverberation of sound provided when a theatrical sound source is remixed for a

Blu-ray Disc to a volume level suitable for home use. The level of reflection and reverberation of sound is kept to the minimum. However, dialogues and surround effects are reproduced vividly.

x PLII Movie

Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1 channel for watching videos of overdubbed or old movies.

x PLIIx Movie

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode decoding. This setting expands Dolby Pro

Logic II Movie or Dolby Digital 5.1 to discrete 7.1 movie channels.

x PLIIz Height (PLIIz)

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode decoding. This setting can expand a source sound from a 5.1 channel to a 7.1 channel to which a vertical equipment is applied, and gives a dimension of presence and depth.

x Neo:6 Cinema (Neo:6 CIN)

Performs DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode decoding. A source recorded in 2 channel format is decoded into 7 channels.

Music mode

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of concert halls into your home.

x Hall (HALL)

Reproduces the acoustics of a classical concert hall.

x Jazz Club (JAZZ)

Reproduces the acoustics of a jazz club.

x Live Concert (CONCERT)

Reproduces the acoustics of a 300-seat live house.

x Stadium (STADIUM)

Reproduces the feeling of a large open-air stadium.

x Sports (SPORTS)

Reproduces the feeling of sports broadcasting.

x Portable Audio (PORTABLE)

Reproduces a clear enhanced sound image from your portable audio device. This mode is ideal for MP3 and other compressed music.

46

GB

x PLII Music

Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs.

x PLIIx Music

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs.

x PLIIz Height (PLIIz)

Performs Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode decoding. This setting can expand a source sound from a 5.1 channel to a 7.1 channel to which a vertical equipment is applied, and gives a dimension of presence and depth.

x Neo:6 Music (Neo:6 MUS)

Performs DTS Neo:6 Music mode decoding. A source recorded in 2 channel format is decoded into 7 channels. This setting is ideal for normal stereo sources such as CDs.

When headphones are connected

You can only select this sound field if the headphones are connected to the receiver.

x HP 2CH

This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones (except “Analog Direct”).

Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels except LFE signals.

x HP Direct (HP DIRECT)

This mode is selected automatically if you use headphones when “Analog Direct” is selected.

Outputs the analog signals without processing by the equalizer, sound field, etc.

If you connect a subwoofer

This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the subwoofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a subwoofer 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 subwoofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

Notes on sound fields

• Depending on the speaker pattern settings, some sound fields may not be available.

• You cannot select PLIIx Movie/Music and PLIIz Height at the same time.

– PLIIx Movie/Music is available only when the speaker pattern is set to a setting with surround back speaker(s).

61

GB

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 the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other “Large” speakers.

Note

This function does not work when “Analog

Direct” is being used.

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, and surround back/front high speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.

• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “Large”.

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.

• (USA and Canada models 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.

• 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 TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the receiver is being used in combination with a TV, 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 equipment, 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.

73

GB
