Tip • 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”. • 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.
x SL DIST. (Surround left speaker distance) x SUR POS. (Surround speaker position) Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround left speaker. Surround left speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (C). Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 44).
Tip Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically (A. CAL menu) For details, see “6: Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically (AUTO CALIBRATION)” (page 24). 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.
Enjoying Surround Sound Enjoying Dolby Digital and DTS Surround sound (AUTO FORMAT DIRECT) The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) 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. TUNER AMP MENU 2CH A.F.D. MOVIE 1 2 3 A.F.D. MUSIC DUAL MONO Press A.F.D. repeatedly to select the sound field you want. For details, see “Types of A.F.D. mode” (page 42). Types of A.F.D. mode Decoding mode A.F.D.
If you connect a sub woofer This receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer when there is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound effect output from a sub woofer to a 2 channel signal. Note Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding do not function for DTS format signals. Selecting a preprogrammed sound field You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver’s preprogrammed sound fields.
Types of sound field available Sound field for Sound field [Display] Effect Movie CINEMA STUDIO EX A DCS [C.ST.EX A] Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Cary Grant Theater” cinema production studio. This is a standard mode, great for watching almost any type of movie. CINEMA STUDIO EX B DCS [C.ST.EX B] Reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment “Kim Novak Theater” cinema production studio.
About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) Sound fields with DCS mark use DCS technology. DCS is 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 film makers can be experienced at home.
Using only the front speakers (2CH STEREO) In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound from the front left/right speakers only. There is no sound from the sub woofer. Standard 2 channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound field processing and multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel. Resetting sound fields to the initial settings Be sure to use the buttons on the receiver for this operation. 1,2 2 DISPLAY 2CH DIMMER A.F.D.

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.
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.
Dolby Digital or DTS multi channel sound is not reproduced. • Check that the DVD, etc. you are playing 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 (the settings for the audio output) of the connected component. 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.
Error messages If there is a malfunction, the display shows a message. You can check the condition of the system by the message. Refer to the following table to solve the problem. If any problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer. If an error message appears while you perform Auto Calibration, see “Error and warning codes” (page 26) to solve the problem. DEC.
