Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel
input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel softw_re encoded in formats other
than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you
can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player's multi channel
decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an externN multi ch_mnel
decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front spe,_kers, two surround
spe_kers, and a center spe_ker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 ch_mnel surround sound, you
will _dso need a surround back speaker (STR-DE985) or refer page 18 (STR-DE885).

Tip
Internally, tile LARGE and SMALL settings for each
speaker determine whether or not the internal sound
processor will cut tile bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
_di_tion
circuitry sends the corresponding
bass
fi_quencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE"
speakers.
However, since bass souilds have a certain amount of
directionality,
it is best not to cut them, if possible.
There fol_, 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 pl_ fer 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 cal! use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the equalizer, see page 38.

Tip
The ]_ceiver alhlws you to inpul the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
die center speaker furdter than the front speakers.
Also, tile center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5 meters (5 fee0 closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, tile sttrround and surround back speakers
can not be set farther away from tile listening position
dlan the front speakers. And they cart be no more than
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer.
This is b_ause
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 wil! cause a
delay in tile output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is f_r tber
away.
For example, setting tile center speaker distance
I-2 m (3-6 feet) closer than the actual speaker
position will create a t3irly l_alistic sensation of being
"inside" the Selden. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory
SmTOUnd effect because the surround speakers are too
close, setting the surround speaker distance closer
(shorter) than the actual distance will creale a larger
sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter
while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.

Getting
Started
This section explains the basic functions
of the CONTROL A1 ]I Control System.
Certain components have special
functions, such as "CD Synchro Dubbing"
on cassette decks, that require CONTROL
A11I connections. For detailed information
regarding specific operations, be sure to
also refer to the Operating Instructions
supplied with your component(s).
The CONTROL AI lI Control System was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL AI II connections
provide a poth for the transmission of control
signals which enable automatic operation and
control feotures usuolly associated with
integrated
systems.
Currently, CONTROL AI II connections
between a Sony CD player, amplifier
(receiver), MD deck and cassette deck provide
automotic l_nction selection ,and synchronized
recording.
