surround sound requires five speakers (two

front speakers, a center speaker, and two

surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1

channel).

Note

To enjoy better surround sound, the distance

between the center speaker and the listening position

B cannot be more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer

than the one between the listening position and the

front speaker A. Place the speakers so that the

difference in the length of B in the following

diagram is no more than 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer

than the length of A.

Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters

(15 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters

(20 feet).

Also, the distance between the surround speakers

and the listening position C cannot be more than

4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the distance between

the listening position and the front speakers A.

Place the speakers so that the difference in the length

of C in the above diagram is no more than

4.5 meters (15 feet) closer than the length of A.

Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters

(5 feet) or more when the distance A is 6 meters

(20 feet).

This is important because incorrect speaker

placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of

surround sound. Please note that placing the

speakers closer than the required will cause a delay

in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other

words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the

sound often results in much better surround sound.

Tips

• The angle A should be the same.

• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly

directional signals, you can place it wherever you

want.

2: Connecting the speakers

Before connecting the cords, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

* When you connect a subwoofer with an auto

standby function, turn off the function when

watching movies. If the auto standby function is

set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically

based on the level of the input signal to a

subwoofer, then sound may not be output.

Notes

• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains

lead), make sure that metalic wires of the speaker

cords are not touching each other between the

SPEAKERS terminals.

• After you have install and connect your speaker, be

sure to select the speaker pattern from SPEAKER

menu (page 60).

xD. RANGE

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the

soundtrack. 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. MAX

The dynamic range is compressed

dramatically.

•COMP. STD

The dynamic range is compressed as

intended by the recording engineer.

• COMP. OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

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.

• LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies,

select “LARGE”. Normally, select

“LARGE”. However, if you have selected a

speaker pattern without subwoofer, the front

speakers are automatically set 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

front channel bass frequencies from the

subwoofer. When the front speakers are set

to “SMALL”, the center and surround

speakers are also automatically set to

“SMALL”.

xCNT SIZE

• 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

subwoofer.

xSUR SIZE

• LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies,

select “LARGE”. Normally, select

“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers

are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the

surround speakers 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

surround channel bass frequencies from the

subwoofer or other speaker that is set to

“LARGE”.

Tip

The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each

speaker determine whether the internal sound

processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.

When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass

redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass

frequencies to the subwoofer or other “LARGE”

speakers.

However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of

directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.

Therefore, 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 prefer 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 can use the equalizer to boost the bass

levels. For details, see page 57.

Glossary

xCinema Studio EX

A surround sound mode that can be regarded

as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound

technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing

theater using three technologies: “Virtual

Multi Dimensions,” “Screen Depth Matching,”

and “Cinema Studio Reverberation.”

“Virtual Multi Dimensions,” the virtual

speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-

surround environment with actual speakers up

to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound

experience of a theater with the latest facilities

into your home.

“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble

attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound

usually created in a theater using sound

emission from behind the screen. This is then

added to the front and center channels.

“Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces

the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art

dubbing theaters and recording studios,

including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s

dubbing studios. There are three modes,

A/B/C, available according to the studio type.

xComponent video

A format for transmitting video signal

information consisting of three separate

signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and

chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as

DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted

more faithfully. The three jacks are color -

coded green, blue and red.

xDeep Colour (Deep Color)

Video signals for which the color depth of

signals passing through an HDMI jack have

been raised.

The number of colors that could be expressed

by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with

the current HDMI jack. However, the number

of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel

will be 36 bits, etc., when the receiver

corresponds to Deep Colour (Deep Color).

Since the gradation of the depth of a color can

be expressed more finely with more bits,

continuous color changes can be more

smoothly expressed.

xDigital Cinema Sound (DCS)

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.

xDolby Digital

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It

consists of front (left/right), center, surround

(left/right) and subwoofer channels. It is a

designated audio standard for DVD video and

also known as 5.1 channel 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 2 channel stereo

recorded audio into 5.1 channel 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 5.1

channel 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 4 channel 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 DTS, Inc. It

compresses audio less than Dolby Digital,

delivering a higher quality sound

reproduction.

xHDMI (High-Definition

Multimedia Interface)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface) is an interface that supports both

video and audio on a single digital connection,

allowing you to enjoy high quality digital

picture and sound. The HDMI specification

supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital

Contents Protection), a copy protection

technology that incorporates coding

technology for digital video signals.

xL.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)

Sound effects of low frequencies which are

output from a subwoofer in Dolby Digital or

DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a

frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio

becomes more powerful.

xPCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method of converting analog audio to digital

audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.

69GB

Additional Information

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.

xx.v.Colour (x.v.Color)

x.v.Colour (x.v.Color) is a more familiar term

for the xvYCC standard proposed by Sony,

and is a trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an

international standard for color space in video.

This standard can express a wider colour range

than the currently used broadcast standard.

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 (mains lead), grasp the plug

itself; never pull the cord.

• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be

changed only at a qualified service shop.

• (Models of area code U2, CA2 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.

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.

continued

70GB

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 (aerial). Therefore, we recommend

using an outdoor antenna (aerial).)

• Use caution when placing the receiver 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.

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.
