Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.

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).

Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration

Tips

• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand

(available only in certain countries).

• You can also install the front and surround speakers on the wall (page 13).

Note

Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords

to the front and center speaker terminals.

Attaching foot pads

To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the

illustration below.

Note

Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

Installing the speakers on the

wall

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. See the illustrations

below.

2Fasten the screws to the wall. The

screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm (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.

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 1.5 meters

(5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot 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 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 1–2

meters (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!

x XXXX/XX

(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 26).

• SIDE/LO

Select if the location of your surround speakers

corresponds to section A and C.

•SIDE/HI

Select if the location of your surround speakers

corresponds to section A and D.

• BEHD/LO

Select if the location of your surround speakers

corresponds to section B and C.

• BEHD/HI

Select if the location of your surround speakers

corresponds to section B 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 becomes 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 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.

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.

Initial setting: 0 dB

You can adjust from –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps.

(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.

•OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the

recording engineer.

•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.

“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light

compression. Therefore, we recommend using the

“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.

Note

Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby

Digital sources only.

xEFCT. XXX (Effect level)

Initial setting: STD

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the surround effect in

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 at the rear of the receiver.

• The receiver 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 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.

• 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 11).

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.

If you experience any of the following

difficulties while using the receiver, use this

troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the

problem.

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 components

are turned on.

• Check that you have selected the correct

component on the receiver.

• Check that MASTER VOLUME –/+ is not set at

“VOL MIN”.

• Check that the headphones are not connected.

• Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the

muting function.

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. 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.

There is no sound from analog 2 channel

sources.

• Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to

“COAX IN” or “OPT IN” (page 28).

There is no sound from digital sources (from

COAXIAL or OPTICAL input jack).

• Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to

“ANALOG” (page 28). Check that the INPUT

MODE is not set to “COAX IN” for the sources

from OPTICAL input jack, or set to “OPT IN” for

the sources from COAXIAL input jack.

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

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.

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 stations). Preset the stations (page 20).

• Press DISPLAY repeatedly so that the frequency

appears in the display.

RDS does not work.*

• Make sure that you are 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.

* Models of area code CEL, CEK only.

Remote control

The remote does not function.

• Point the remote at the remote sensor on the

receiver.

• Remove any obstacles in the path between the

remote and the receiver.

• Replace all the batteries in the remote with new

ones, if they are weak.

• Make sure you select the correct input on the

remote.

• To activate the buttons with orange printing, press

TV and the button you want simultaneously.

• Before you use the V/v/B/b button for receiver

operation, press MAIN MENU. To operate other

components, press TOP MENU/GUIDE or AV

MENU after pressing the input button.

Error messages

If there is a malfunction, the display shows a

message. You can check the condition of the

receiver by the message. Refer to the following

table to solve the problem.

DEC. EROR

Appears when the signal which the receiver cannot

decode (ex. DTS-CD) is input when “DEC. XXXX”

is set to “DEC. PCM”. Set to “DEC. AUTO”.

PROTECT

Irregular current is output from the speakers. The

receiver will automatically turn off after a few

seconds. Check the speaker connection and turn on

the power again. If this problem persists, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

If you are unable to remedy the

problem using the

troubleshooting guide

Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the

problem (page 14). However, note that all

memorized settings will be reset to their factory

settings and you will have to readjust all settings

on the receiver.

If the problem persist

Consult your nearest Sony dealer.
