HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-

Definition Multimedia Interface. It is an

interface which transmits video and audio

signals in digital format.

Sony recommends that you connect

components to the receiver using an HDMI

cable.

With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high

quality sound and high quality images.

However, it is necessary to connect

the audio output of the TV to the

audio input of the receiver using an

optical digital cord to listen to the

TV multi channel surround sound

broadcasting from the receiver.

By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync

compatible components using HDMI cables,

““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes

operations simpler (page 93).

Notes

• Be sure to change the factory setting of the HDMI

1–4 input button on the remote so that you can use

the button to control your components. For details,

see “Programming the remote” (page 117).

• You can also rename the HDMI input so that it can

be displayed on the receiver’s display. For details,

see “Naming the input (Name Input)” (page 49).

HDMI features

• A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI

can be output from the speakers connected to

the receiver. This signal supports Dolby

Digital, DTS, and Linear PCM.

• The receiver can receive Multi Linear PCM

(up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency

of 192 kHz or less with an HDMI

connection.

• Analog video signals input to the VIDEO

jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be

up-converted as HDMI signals. Audio

signals are not output from an HDMI OUT

jack when the image is converted.

• This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio

(DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD),

Deep Color and x.v.Color transmission,

extended by HDMI version 1.3.

• This receiver supports the Control for HDMI

function. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync

Features” (page 93).

• HDMI 3 input has a better sound quality.

When you need a higher sound quality,

connect your component to the HDMI IN 3

(for AUDIO) jack and select HDMI 3 as

input.

Notes on connecting cables

• We recommend that you use an HDMI cable

with the HDMI logo (made by Sony) for the

HDMI jack corresponding to high speed (an

HDMI version 1.3a, category 2 cable) when

you view images or listen to sound during a

Deep Color transmission or when you watch

a video image of 1080p or higher.

• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI

conversion cable. When you connect an

HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D

component, the sound and/or the image may

not be output. Connect other audio cords or

digital connecting cords, then set “Input

Assign” in the Input Option menu when the

sound is not output correctly.

Notes on HDMI connections

• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack

is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and

HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any

other audio jacks.

• A video signal input to the HDMI IN jack

can only be output from the HDMI OUT

jack. The video input signals cannot be

output from the VIDEO OUT jacks or

MONITOR OUT jacks.

• The audio and video signals of HDMI input

are not output from the HDMI OUT jack

while the receiver menu is displayed.

• When you want to listen to the sound from

• Be sure to turn on the receiver when the

video and audio of a playback component

are being output to a TV via the receiver. If

the power supply of the receiver is not

turned on, neither video nor audio is

transmitted.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit

length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack

may be suppressed by the connected

component. Check the setup of the

connected component if the image is poor or

the sound does not come out of a component

connected via the HDMI cable.

• Sound may be interrupted when the

sampling frequency, the number of channels

or audio format of audio output signals from

the playback component is switched.

• When the connected component is not

compatible with copyright protection

technology (HDCP), the image and/or the

sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be

distorted or may not be output.

In this case, check the specification of the

connected component.

• You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD

Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), multi

channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI

connection.

• Set the image resolution of the playback

component to more than 720p to enjoy High

Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio,

Dolby TrueHD).

• The image resolution of playback

component may need certain settings be

made before you can enjoy multi channel

Linear PCM. Refer to the operating

instructions of the playback component.

• Not every HDMI component supports all

functions that are defined by the specified

HDMI version. For example, components

that support HDMI, version 1.3a, may not

Function for conversion of video signals

This receiver is equipped with a function for converting video signals.

You can output the video signal after connecting this receiver via MONITOR OUT or HDMI OUT

jack as shown in the illustration below.

• Video signals can be output as HDMI video and component video signals.

• Component video signals can be output as HDMI video signals.

As the initial setting, video signals input from the connected component are output to the HDMI

OUT or MONITOR OUT jacks as shown in the table below.

We recommend you set the video conversion function to match the resolution of the monitor you

are using.

For details on the video converting function, see “Settings for the video (Video Settings menu)”

(page 79).

a: Video signals are up-converted and output through the video converter.

f: The same type of signal as that of the input signal is output. Video signals are not converted.

Notes on converting video

signals

• When video signals from a VCR, etc., are

converted on this receiver and then output to

your TV, depending on the status of the

video signal output, the image on the TV

screen may appear distorted horizontally or

no image may be output.

• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to

component video signals and video signals.

• When you play back a VCR with an image

improvement circuit, such as TBC, the

images may be distorted or may not be

output. In this case, set the image

improvement circuit function to off.

• The resolution of the signals output to the

COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT

jacks and HDMI OUT jack are converted up

to 1080i.

• COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT

jacks have restrictions on resolution when

the resolution of video signals protected by

Resolution of up to 480p can be output to the

COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT

jacks. The HDMI OUT jack has no

restriction on resolution.

• Video signals for which the resolution has

been converted cannot be output from either

the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR

OUT jacks or the HDMI OUT jack. The

video signals are output from the HDMI

OUT jack when both are connected.

To display Closed Caption

Set “Resolution” to “DIRECT” in the Video

Settings menu when receiving a signal that

supports Closed Captions.

Use the same type of cords for the input/output

signals.

To connect a recording

component

When recording, connect the recording

component to the VIDEO OUT jacks of the

receiver. Connect cords for input and output

signals to the same type of jack, as VIDEO

OUT jacks do not have an up-conversion

function.

Note

Signals output from the HDMI OUT or MONITOR

OUT jacks may not be recorded properly.

9: Calibrating the

appropriate speaker

settings automatically

(Auto Calibration)

This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital

Cinema Auto Calibration) function which

allows you to perform automatic calibration to

measure the following:

• Speaker connectionsa)

• Polarity of speakers

• Speaker distancea)

• Speaker sizea)

• Speaker level

• Frequency characteristicsa)b)

a)The measurement result is not utilized when the

“Analog Direct” is selected.

b)• Signals with a sampling frequency of higher than

96 kHz are always played back at either 44.1 kHz

or 48 kHz.

• The measurement result is not utilized when

Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling

frequency of higher than 96 kHz are being

received.

The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound

balance in your room. However, you can

adjust the speaker levels and balance manually

according to your preference. For details, see

“Test Tone (Test tone)” (page 75).

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set

up and connect the speakers (page 17–19).

• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the

If you connect a subwoofer

This receiver will generate a low frequency

signal for output to the subwoofer when there

is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound

effect output to a subwoofer from a 2 channel

signal. However, the low frequency signal is

not generated for “Neo:6 Cinema” or “Neo:6

•Large

If you connect large speakers that will

effectively reproduce bass frequencies,

select “Large”. Normally, select “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 bass frequencies of each

channel from the subwoofer or other

“Large” speakers.

Tips

• 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 sound has a certain amount of

directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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.

• The surround back speakers will be set to the same

setting as that of the surround speakers.

• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the

center, surround, and surround back speakers are

also automatically set to “Small”.

• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers

are automatically set to “Large”.

Tips

• 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

What is “BRAVIA” Sync?

“BRAVIA” Sync is compatible with Sony TV,

Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, AV amplifier, etc.,

that is equipped with the Control for HDMI

function.

By connecting Sony components that are

compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an

HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is

simplified as follows:

• One-Touch Play: When you play back a

component such as a DVD/Blu-ray disc

player, the receiver and the TV are turned on

automatically and switched to the

appropriate HDMI input. In case the receiver

or/and the TV is in standby mode, they will

be turned on automatically.

• System Audio Control: While watching TV,

you can select to output the sound from the

TV speaker or the speakers connected to the

receiver.

• System Power Off: When you turn off the

TV, the receiver and connected components

are also turned off simultaneously.

Control for HDMI is a mutual control function

standard used by HDMI CEC (Consumer

Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-

Definition Multimedia Interface).

The Control for HDMI function

will not operate correctly in the

following cases:

• When you connect the receiver to a

component which does not correspond with

Sony Control for HDMI function.

• When you connect the receiver and

components using other than HDMI

connection.

We recommend that you connect the receiver

to products featuring “BRAVIA” Sync.

poor or unstable.

Check the following.

• Keep cords that are connected to the S-AIR

product (AC power cord (mains lead),

speaker cords, or other cords) away from the

wireless adapter and slot.

• Keep as much space as possible around

S-AIR products.

–Avoid placing S-AIR products on top of or

directly below other electronic equipment.

Using the Remote

Programming the remote

You can customize the remote to match the

components connected to your receiver. You

can even program the remote to control non-

Sony components and also Sony components

that the remote is normally unable to control.

The procedure below uses as an example a

case in which a VCR made by a company

other than Sony is connected to the VIDEO 1

IN jacks on the receiver.

Before you begin, note that:

– You cannot change the settings of TUNER

and DMPORT.

– The remote can control only components

that accept infrared wireless control signals.

Be sure to turn on the receiver and

point the remote towards the

receiver when performing the

following procedure.

1Press and hold RM SET UP,

then press AV ?/1.

The RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes.

2Press the input button

(including TV) for the

component you want to control.

For example, if you are going to control a

VCR connected to VIDEO 1 IN, press

VIDEO 1.

The RM SET UP and SHIFT indicator

light up.

If you press the button for a component of

which you cannot program the remote,

such as DMPORT, etc., the RM SET UP

indicator keeps flashing.

3Press numeric buttons to enter

the numeric code (or one of the

codes if more than one code

exists) corresponding to the

component and the maker of

the component you want to

control.

See the tables on page 118–121 for

information on the numeric code(s).

Note

For a TV remote code value, only numbers in

the 500’s are valid.

4Press ENT/MEM.

Once the numeric code has been verified,

the RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes

twice and the remote automatically exits

the programming mode.

5Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control

other components.

Notes

• The indicator turns off while a valid button is

pressed.

• In step 2, if you press TUNER, you can only

program the button to control a tuner (page 118).

• In step 2, if you want to change to other input, press

SHIFT and then press the new input button you

want.

• For the numeric codes, only the last three numbers

entered are valid.

To cancel programming

Press RM SET UP during any step. The RM

SET UP indicator flashes 5 times in quick

succession. The remote automatically exits the

programming mode.

To activate the input after

programming

Press the programmed button to activate the

input you want.

continued

118US

If programming is

unsuccessful, check the

following:

• If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the

batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.

• If the indicator flashes 5 times in quick

succession while entering the numeric code,

an error has occurred. Start again from step

Use the numeric codes in the tables below to

control non-Sony components and also Sony

components that the remote is normally unable

to control. Since the remote signal that a

component accepts differs depending on the

model and year of the component, more than

one numeric code may be assigned to a

component. If you fail to program your remote

using one of the codes, try using other codes.

Notes

• The numeric codes are based on the latest

information available for each brand. There is a

chance, however, that your component will not

respond to some or all of the codes.

• All of the input buttons on this remote may not be

available when used with your particular

component.

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 channel, 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.

xComposite video

A standard format for transmitting video

signal information. The luminance signal Y

and chrominance signal C are combined and

transmitted together.

xCrossover frequency

The frequency at which two speaker’s

frequencies intersect.

xDeep 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, etc., bits when the receiver

corresponds to 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)

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.

Additional Information

123US

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.

xHigh Bitrate Audio

It refers to the audio formats of the

compression method (DTS-HD Master Audio,

Dolby TrueHD, etc.) which is a high bitrate

format recorded mainly on Blu-ray disc etc.

xInterlace

A scanning method which completes a picture

by displaying half of the lines on a tube surface

of a TV or monitor each 1/60 second. First, all

the odd-numbered lines are drawn, leaving

spaces between each line, then all the even-

numbered lines are drawn to fill the spaces.

“i” of “480i” stands for “Interlace.”

xLFE (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.

Additional Information

xS-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive

Radio frequency)

Recent times have seen the rapid spread of

DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other

high quality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high

quality media are transmitted with no

deterioration, Sony has developed a

technology called “S-AIR” for the radio

transmission of digital audio signals with no

compression, and has incorporated this

technology into the EZW-RT10/EZW-T100.

This technology transfers digital audio signals

with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band

range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and

Medical band), such as wireless LANs and

Bluetooth applications.

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.

xTSP (Time Stretched Pulse)

A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring

signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring

a wide band, from low to high, in a short

period.

The amount of energy used to measure signals

is important to ensure measurement accuracy

in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP

signals make it possible to measure signals

effectively.

xx.v.Color

“x.v.Color” enables the more faithful

reproduction of various colors such as the

brilliant colors of flowers and the turquoise

blue of the southern ocean.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 (mains lead) 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.

• The receiving condition is not good. Move

the antenna to the place where the

condition is good.

• Check that you subscribed to the satellite

radio service you want (page 55).

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.

• When you operate a programmed non-

Sony component, the remote may not

function properly depending on the model

and the maker of the component.

Additional Information

If there is a malfunction, the display shows a

message. You can check the condition of the

system by the message. See the following table

to solve the problem. If any problem persists,

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

PROTECTOR

Irregular current is output to the speakers, or

upper panel of the receiver is covered with

something. The receiver will automatically

turn off after a few seconds. Check the

speaker connection and turn on the power

again.

For other messages, see “Message list after

Auto Calibration measurement” (page 44),

“DIGITAL MEDIA PORT message list”

(page 52) and “SIRIUS Satellite Radio

message list” (page 62).

If you are unable to remedy the problem using

the troubleshooting guide, clearing the

receiver’s memory may remedy the problem

(page 36). However, note that all memorized

settings will be reset to their initial settings and

you will have to readjust all settings on the

receiver.

If the problem persist, consult your nearest

Sony dealer. Note that if service personnel

changes some parts during repair, these parts

may be retained.

In the event of a problem with S-AIR function,

have a Sony dealer check the entire system

together (S-AIR main unit and S-AIR sub

unit).
