(Except for models of area code

MX, E51, AR)

HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-

Definition Multimedia Interface. It is an

interface which transmits video and audio

signals in digital format.

The sound is output from the TV speaker only

when a playback component and this receiver,

as well as this receiver and the TV are

connected via the HDMI jack. To output the

sound from the supplied speakers and to take

advantage of the multi channel surround

sound, be sure to

– connect the digital audio jacks on the

playback component to the receiver.

– turn off or mute the TV’s volume.

Notes on HDMI connections

• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a

Super Audio CD are not output.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit

length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack

may be restricted by the connected

component. If the image is poor or no sound

is output from the component connected via

the HDMI cable, check the setup of the

connected component.

• Be sure to turn on the receiver, when video

and audio signals of a playback component

are being output to a TV through HDMI

jacks of the receiver. Unless the power is on,

neither video nor audio signals will be

transmitted.

• For details on HDMI setup of the connected

component, refer to operating instructions

supplied with the connected component.

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 31) and

“Overview of the menus” (page 32).

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 26).

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 37) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to

your listening position (C on page 37).

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 37) to a distance 4.5

meters closer to your listening position (D on

page 37).

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 meter 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

4.5 meter 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 meter 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 PL.

(Surround speaker placement)

Lets you specify the height of your surround

speakers for proper implementation of the

surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX

modes (page 42).

• PL. LOW

Select if the height of your surround

speakers corresponds to section A.

• PL. HIGH

Select if the height of your surround

speakers corresponds to section B.

Glossary

xDolby Digital

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It

consists of front (Left/Right), center, surround

(Left/Right) 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.

xHDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

Technology developed by modifying the

display connecting technology, DVI (Digital

Visual Interface), for AV equipment. This

interface can transmit video, audio, and

control signals in digital format.

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.

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.

• 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.

Additional Information

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 TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the

receiver is being used in combination with a

TV, 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 speakers, center speaker 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.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your receiver, please consult your

nearest Sony dealer.
