1: Installing speakers

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).

AFront speaker (L)

BFront speaker (R)

CCenter speaker

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly

directional signals, you can place it wherever you

want.

Before you install the speakers and sub

woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads

to prevent vibration or movement as shown in

the illustration below.

For greater flexibility in positioning the

speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or

WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in

certain countries). For details, refer to the

operating instructions supplied with the

speaker stand.

Getting Started

You can install your front and surround

speakers on the wall.

1Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hole on

the back of each speaker as

shown in the illustrations

below.

2Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude to

7/32 to 9/32 inch.

3Hang the speakers on the

screws.

Notes

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material

and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially

fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and

fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a

vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is

applied.

• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall

material or screws to be used.

• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall

strength or improper screw installation, natural

calamity, etc.

Amplifier Operations

Adjusting the level

(LEVEL menu)

You can use the LEVEL menu to adjust the

balance and level of each speaker. These

settings are applied to all sound fields.

Select “1-LEVEL” in the amplifier menus. For

details on adjusting the parameters, see

“Navigating through menus” (page 28) and

“Overview of the menus” (page 29).

LEVEL menu parameters

xT. TONE (Test tone)

Lets you adjust the speaker levels and balance

while listening to the test tone from your

listening position. For details, see “7: Adjusting

the speaker levels and balance (TEST TONE)”

(page 23).

xFRT BAL (Front speaker

balance)

Lets you adjust the balance between front left

and right speakers.

xCNT LVL (Center speaker level)

xSL LVL (Surround left speaker

level)

xSR LVL (Surround right speaker

level)

xSW LVL (Sub woofer level)

xD. RANGE (Dynamic range

compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the

sound track. This may be useful when you

want to watch movies at low volumes late at

night. Dynamic range compression is possible

with Dolby Digital sources only.

• COMP. OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•COMP. STD

The dynamic range is compressed as

intended by the recording engineer.

•COMP. 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. “COMP. STD” is the standard setting,

but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we

recommend using the “COMP. 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.

xSL DIST. (Surround left speaker

distance)

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 on page 34) to a distance 15 feet closer to

your listening position (C on page 34).

xSR DIST. (Surround right

speaker distance)

Lets you set the distance from your listening

position to the surround right speaker.

Surround right speaker distance should be set

from a distance equal to the front speaker

distance (A on page 34) to a distance 15 feet

closer to your listening position (D on page

34).

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 from 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

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!

xSUR POS.

(Surround speaker position)

Lets you specify the location of your surround

speakers for proper implementation of the

surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX

modes (page 40).

• SIDE/LO

Select if the location of your surround

speakers corresponds to sections A and C.

•SIDE/HI

Select if the location of your surround

speakers corresponds to sections A and D.

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 become 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 located 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.

xDIMMER (Brightness of the

display)

Lets you adjust the brightness in 3 steps.

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 filmmakers can be

experienced at home.

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.

• This function does not work for signals with a

sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.

Tip

You can identify the encoding format of DVD

software, etc., by looking at the logo on the package.

• : Dolby Digital discs

• : Dolby Surround

encoded programs

• : DTS Digital Surround encoded programs

To turn off the surround effect

for movie/music

Glossary

xDolby Digital

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It

consists of front (L/R), center, surround (L/R)

and sub-woofer channels. It is a designated

audio standard for DVD-video and also known

as 5.1ch surround. Since surround information

is recorded and reproduced in stereo, more

realistic sound with fuller presence is

delivered than with Dolby surround.

xDolby Pro Logic II

This technology converts 2ch stereo recorded

audio into 5.1ch for playback. There is a

MOVIE mode for movies and MUSIC mode

for stereo sources such as music. Old movies

encoded in the traditional stereo format can be

enhanced with 5.1ch surround sound.

xDolby Surround (Dolby Pro

Logic)

Audio processing technology developed by

Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono

surround information is matrixed into two

stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is

decoded and output in 4ch surround sound.

This is the most common audio processing

method for DVD-video.

xDTS Digital Surround

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology

for theaters developed by Digital Theater

Systems, Inc. It compresses audio less than

Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality

sound reproduction.

xSampling frequency

To convert analog audio to digital, analog data

should be quantified. This process is called

sampling, and the number of times per second

the analog data is quantified is called the

sampling frequency. A standard music CD

stores data quantified at 44,100 times per

second, which is expressed as a sampling

frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a

higher sampling frequency means better sound

quality.

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, 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.

• The AC power cord 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 television, VCR, or tape deck. (If

the receiver is being used in combination

with a television, 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. Therefore, we recommend

using an outdoor antenna.)

• Use caution when placing the receiver 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

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 are

not magnetically shielded, we recommend that

you place the surround speakers slightly

further away from TV set (page 12).

If color irregularity is

observed...

Turn off the TV set, 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.
