Tip

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads at the bottom of the speakers.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

Notes

• Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords to the front and center speaker terminals.

• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about

10 mm (2/3 inch). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components:

+ to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers.

Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal, the stripped end of another speaker cord, or the metal parts of the receiver.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped cords are not fully attached and are touching the rear panel of the receiver.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly.

For details on outputting a test tone, see page 18.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

To avoid damaging your speakers

Make sure that you turn down the volume before you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

Performing initial setup operations

Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters

(size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.

Tip

To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection

(page 19).

Clearing the receiver’s memory

Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receiver’s memory, do the following.

1

Turn off the receiver.

2

Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

“INITIAL” appears in the display.

The following are reset to their factory settings.

• All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and

TONE menus.

• The sound field memorized for each function and preset station.

• All sound field parameters.

• All preset stations.

• All index names of input selectors and preset stations.

• The master volume is set to “VOL

MIN”.

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 51. See pages

14–18 for speaker settings and pages 34–35 for other settings.

Multi channel surround setup

For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position ( A ).

However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer ( B ) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer ( C ) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) from the listening position ( A ).

You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.

To select “NORM. SP.”, turn off the power, then turn on again while pressing MAIN

MENU. (To reset to “MICRO SP.”, do the same procedure.)

Tip

The setting for Micro Satellite Speaker (MICRO SP.) has been programmed to optimize the sound balance.

If you use Sony’s Micro Satellite Speakers, select

“MICRO SP.”.

Caution

When you use Micro Satellite Speakers and the speaker size is set to “LARGE”, you may not obtain the correct soundstage. The speaker may also be damaged at high volume position.

Set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers ( A on page 14).

x Center speaker distance ( C DIST.

X.X m (XX ft.))

Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance ( A on page 14) to a distance

1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position ( B on page 14).

x Surround speaker distance (

SL SR

DIST. X.X m (XX ft.))

Set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance ( A on page 14) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position ( C on page 14).

Tip

The receiver allows 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

1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters

(15 feet) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy 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

1~2 m (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

The surround speaker placement parameter is designed specifically for implementation of the

Digital Cinema Sound modes with virtual elements.

With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker placement is not as critical as other modes. All modes with virtual elements were designed under the premise that the surround speaker 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 towards the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the sound fields with virtual elements will not be as effective.

Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections.

Therefore, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and listen to the effect each setting has on your listening environment.

Choose 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

“PL. LOW” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

Only when you use the speaker system other than the supplied one, be sure to set the following parameters.

For details on “NORM. SP.” (Normal Speaker), see page 15.

x Sub woofer selection ( SW S.W. XXX)

• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select

“NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.

x Front speaker size ( L R XXXXX)

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

“LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.

• 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”).

• When the sub woofer is set to “NO”, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE” and you cannot change this setting.

x Center speaker size ( C XXXXX)

• 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”.

• 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.* 1

• If you do not connect a center speaker, select

“NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.* 2 continued

• 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”.

• 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.

• If you do not connect surround speakers, select

“NO”.* 3

Tip

*1–*3 correspond to the following Dolby Pro Logic modes

*1 NORMAL

*2 PHANTOM

*3 3 STEREO

Tip

Internally, 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 BASS parameter in the TONE menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page

27.

Adjusting the speaker level

Use the remote while seated in your listening position to adjust the level of each speaker.

Note

The receiver incorporates a new test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker level adjustment.

1

Press ?/1 on the remote to turn on the receiver.

2

Press TEST TONE on the remote.

“T. TONE” appears in the display and you will hear the test tone from each speaker in sequence.

Front (left) t Center t Front (right) t

Surround (right) t Surround (left) t

3

Adjust the speaker level and balance using the LEVEL menu so that the level of the test tone sounds the same from each speaker.

For details on the LEVEL menu, see page

26.

While adjusting, the test tone is output from the speaker whose adjustment is performed.

4

Press TEST TONE again to turn off the test tone.

Tip

You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same time. Press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or turn

MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.

Notes

• The adjusted value are shown in the display during adjustment.

• Although these adjustments can also be made via the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the receiver switches to the

LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you follow the procedure described above and adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the remote.

Enjoying Surround Sound

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can also customize the sound fields to obtain the sound you want by changing the surround parameter.

To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the number and location of you speakers. See “Multi channel surround setup” starting from page 14 to set the speaker parameters before enjoying surround sound.

Using only the front speakers (2 Channel

Stereo)

Press 2CH.

The 2CH indicator lights up and “2CH ST.” appears in the display.

This mode outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel

(stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.

Notes

• No sound is output from the sub woofer when

“2CH ST.” is selected. To listen to 2 channel

(stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, press A.F.D. repeatedly to select “A.F.D. AUTO”.

• When you select “Micro Satellite Speaker” (page

15), internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to sub woofer. If you want to listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose

“A.F.D. AUTO” mode so that you can take advantage of your sub woofer to obtain the correct bass signal.

b) Text messages sent by the RDS station.

Notes

• If there is an emergency announcement by government authorities, “ALARM” flashes in the display.

• When the message consists of 9 characters or more, the message scrolls across the display.

• If a station does not provide a particular RDS service, “NO XXXX” (such as “NO TEXT”) appears in the display.

Other Operations

Naming preset stations and program sources

You can enter a name (index name) of up to 8 characters for preset stations and program sources. These names (for example, “VHS”) appear in the receiver’s display when a station or program source is selected. Note that no more than one name can be entered for each preset station or program source.

This function is useful for distinguishing components of the same kind. For example, two VCRs can be specified as “VHS” and

“8MM”, respectively. It is also handy for identifying components connected to jacks meant for another type of component, for example, a second CD player connected to the

MD/TAPE jacks.

1

To name a preset station

Press TUNER FM/AM, then tune in the preset station you want to create an index name for.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset stations, see “Tuning to preset stations” on page 30.

To name a program source

Select the program source (component) to be named.

2

Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select

“ NAME ”.

3

Create an index name by using MENU + or MENU – and MENU or MENU :

Press MENU + or MENU – to select a character, then press MENU to move the cursor to the next position.

To insert a space

Press MENU + or MENU – until a blank space appears in the display.

If you’ve made a mistake

Press MENU or MENU repeatedly until the character to be changed flashes, then press MENU + or MENU – to select the character you want.

4

Press ENTER.

5

Repeat steps 2 to 4 to assign index name for another station or program source.

Note

(Models of area code CEL, CEK only)

You cannot change the name of an RDS station.

Recording

Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all components properly.

Recording on an audio tape or MiniDisc

You can record on a cassette tape or MiniDisc using the receiver. See the operating instructions of your cassette deck or MD deck if you need help.

1

Select the component to be recorded.

2

Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

3

Insert a blank tape or MD into the recording deck and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4

Start recording on the recording deck, then start playback on the playback component.

Notes

• Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks.

• Some sources contain copy guards to prevent recording. In this case, you may not be able to record from the sources.

Press the numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exists) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component you want to control.

See the tables on pages 41–43 for information on the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component (the first digit and the last two digits of the numeric code correspond to the category and the maker’s code respectively.)

4

Press ENTER.

Once the numeric code has been verified, the indicator slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode.

5

Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other components.

To cancel programming

To activate the input source after programming

Press the programmed button to activate the input source 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 selector 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 selector button is pressed, the new input source is selected and the programming procedure returns to the beginning of step 3.

Press ?/1 , AV ?/1 and MASTER VOL – at the same time.

The indicator flashes 3 times, then goes off.

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 selectors 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 unit, 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 unit 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.

• (Models of area code U, CA 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.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this unit 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 unit or speakers 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

This speaker system is 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem. Also, see “Checking the connections” on page 19 to verify that the connections are correct.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound no matter which component is selected.

• Check that the speakers and components are connected securely and correctly.

• Check that both the receiver and all the components are turned on.

• Check that the MASTER VOLUME control is not set at “VOL MIN”.

• Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the muting function.

• Check that the headphones are not connected.

• The protective device on the receiver has been activated because of a short circuit (“PROTECT” flashes). Turn off the receiver, eliminate the short-circuit problem and turn on the power again.

There is no sound from a specific component.

• Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component.

• Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is

(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

(page 20).

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.

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 away from a TV set or fluorescent light.

• Move your TV away from the audio components.

• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center or/and surround speaker.

• Make sure the sound field function is on (press

MOVIE or MUSIC).

• Select a sound field containing the word

“C.ST.EX” (pages 23).

• Adjust the speaker level (page 18).

• Make sure the center or/and surround speaker size parameter is set to either “SMALL” or

“LARGE” (page 17).

There is no sound from the active sub woofer.

• Check that the sub woofer is connected correctly and securely.

• There is no sound output from the SUB

WOOFER terminal depending on the sound field

(back page).

The surround effect cannot be obtained.

Make sure the sound field function is on (press

MOVIE or MUSIC).

Dolby Digital or DTS multi channel sound is not reproduced.

• Check that the playing DVD, etc. is recorded in

Dolby Digital or DTS format.

• When connecting the DVD player, etc. to the digital input jacks of this receiver, check the audio setting (settings for the audio output) of the connected component.

Recording cannot be done.

• Check that the components are connected correctly.

• Select the source component with input selector button.

• Make sure that INPUT MODE is set to

“ANALOG” (page 20) before recording from a digital component connected to the analog

MD/TAPE terminals.

The FM reception is poor.

Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.

• Check that the antennas are connected securely.

Adjust the antennas and connect an external antenna if necessary.

• The signal strength of the stations is too weak

(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning.

• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly

(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).

• No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset station. Preset the stations

(page 30).

• Press DISPLAY so that the frequency appears in the display.

RDS does not work.*

• Make sure that you’re tuned to an FM RDS station.

• Select a stronger FM station.

The RDS information that you want does not appear.*

Contact the radio station and find out whether they actually provide the service in question. If so, the service may be temporarily out of order.

There is no picture or an unclear picture appears on the TV screen or monitor.

• Select the appropriate input selector on the receiver.

• Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.

• Move your TV away from the audio components.
