remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage and corrosion.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the
connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and
noise.
• When connecting an audio/video cord, be sure to
match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on
the components: yellow (video) to yellow; white (left,
audio) to white; and red (right, audio) to red.

MULTI CH IN Ho o ku p s
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel
decoder, it is also equipped with MULTI CH IN jacks.
These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel
software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and
DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with MULTI CH
OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to the
receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi
channel decoder. Alternatively, the MULTI CH IN jacks
can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will
need five speakers (two front speakers, two surround
speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer. Refer to
the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player,
multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi
channel input hookups.

About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
x Fro n t sp e a ke r size (
)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker
determine whether or not 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 sub woofer or other “LARGE” speaker.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality it 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”.
Initial setting : LARGE
• If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce
bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”.
• 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 sub woofer.
• When the front speaker is set to “SMALL”, the center and
surround speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL”
(unless previously set to “NO”).
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. To adjust the equalizer see page
34.

About the surround speaker position (PL. SIDE, PL. MID and
PL. BEHD.)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as
critical as other modes. All of the modes in the “VIRTUAL”
sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround
speaker 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 “VIRTUAL” sound fields
will not be effective unless the surround speaker position
parameter is set to “PL. SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables,
such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using
“PL. BEHD” or “PL. MID” if your speakers are located high
above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left
and right.
SL
SR
x Su rro u n d sp e a ke r d ist a n ce (
)
Initial setting : DIST. 3.5 m (3.5 meter) 11 feet
Set the distance from your listening position to the
surround (left or right) speaker.
• Surround speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1
meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A on page 15) to a distance 15 feet (4.5 meters)
closer to your listening position (C on page 15).
• Do not place the surround speakers farther away from
your listening position than the front speakers.
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the
“Surround speaker position” explanation, we recommend that
you play back multi channel surround encoded software and
listen to the effect each setting has on your listening environment.
Choose 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 from
the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select
“PL. BEHD.” and then use the speaker distance parameter and
speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

About speaker distances
Ad ju st in g t h e sp e a ke r vo lu m e
This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of
distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker
farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can
not be set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the front
speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set farther away from
the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no
more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer.
Use the remote while seated in your listening position to
adjust the volume of each speaker.
Note
This receiver incorporates a new test tone with a frequency
centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker volume adjustment.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to
enjoy the surround sound.
2 Press TEST TONE on the supplied remote.
You will hear the test tone from each speaker in
sequence.
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 farther away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3~6 feet (1~2 m)
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 soundstage. (1 foot
corresponds to a 1 ms difference.)
3 Adjust the volume level so that the volume of the
test tone from each speaker sounds the same
w hen you are in your main listening position.
• To adjust the balance of the front right and front left
speakers, use the front balance parameter in the
LEVEL menu (see page 33).
• To adjust the balance of the surround right and
surround left speakers, use the surround balance
parameter in the LEVEL menu (see page 33).
• To adjust the volume level of the center speaker,
press MENU </> to select the center parameter.
Use +/– on the remote to adjust the level.
Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often
results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
• To adjust the volume level of the surround speaker,
press MENU </> to select the surround parameter.
Use +/– on the remote to adjust the level.
4 Press TEST TONE on the remote again to turn off
the test tone.
Note
The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is set to MULTI
CH IN.

You can adjust the volume level of all speakers at the same
time
Rotate MASTER VOLUME on the receiver or press MASTER

Let’s assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the
speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation
for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make
further adjustments while listening to playback of actual

When you actually play back software recorded in multi channel
surround, you will notice that increasing the center and surround
speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and
center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and
surround speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker
about 1 dB, and the surround speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to
produce better results.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press a function button to select a component
(program source) that you connected (e.g., CD
player or tape deck).
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage
with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some
adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB
can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
3 Turn on the component and start playing it.
4 Rotate MASTER VOLUME to turn up the volume.

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by
selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programmed sound
modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of
movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can
also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you
desire by changing the various surround parameters.
The receiver contains a variety of different sound modes.
The cinema sound modes are designed for use when
playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded
with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic.
In addition to decoding the surround sound, some of
these modes also provide sound effects commonly found
in movie theaters.
Enjoying
Surround
Sound
This chapter describes how to set up
the receiver to enjoy surround sound.
You can enjoy multi channel surround
when playing back software encoded
with Dolby Digital or DTS.
The virtual sound modes contain compelling applications
of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal
processing technology. They shift the sound away from
the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of
several “virtual” speakers.
The music (etc.) sound modes are designed for use with
standard audio sources and TV broadcasts. They add
reverberation to the source signal to make you feel as if
you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use these
sound modes with two-channel sources like CD and
stereo broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts.
For more information about the sound modes, see pages
27 – 29.
A.F.D.
The “Auto Format Decoding” sound mode presents the
sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any
reverberation (etc.).
To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the

By adjusting the surround parameters and the tone
characteristics of the front speakers, you can customize
the sound fields to suit your particular listening situation.
Wa ll t yp e
Initial setting : WALL MID
When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard
wall is highly reflective and does not significantly affect
the frequency response of the reflected sound. This
parameter lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening
environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall.
• The wall type can be adjusted from WALL S. 1 ~ WALL
S. 8 (soft) to WALL H. 1 ~ WALL H. 8 (hard) in 17 steps.
• The midpoint WALL MID designates a neutral wall
(made of wood).
Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored
in memory indefinitely (unless the receiver is unplugged
for about one week). You can change a customized sound
field any time by making new adjustments to the
parameters.
See the table on page 35 for the parameters available in
each sound field.

Initial setting : REVB. MID
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected
(reverberated) many times between the left and right
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more
time to bounce from one surface to another than in a
smaller room. This parameter lets you control the spacing
of the early reflections to simulate a sonically larger (L) or
smaller (S) room.
• The reverberation can be adjusted from REVB. S. 1 ~
REVB. S. 8 (short) to REVB. L. 1 ~ REVB. L. 8 (long) in
17 steps.
Position your speakers and do the procedures described
in “Multi Channel Surround Setup” starting on page 15
before you customize a sound field.

In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the

This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE

• The level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from –20.0 dB to
0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at the
mix level determined by the recording engineer.
• Selecting OFF mutes the sound of the LFE channel from

About the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in
the Dolby Digital signal. “COMP. STD” is standard compression,
but because many sources have only light compression, you may
not notice much difference when using COMP. 0.1~0.9.
Therefore, we recommend using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This
greatly compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and it provides a very natural
compression.

Your receiver makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to it. You don’t have to connect the
playback and recording components directly to each
other: once you select a program source on the receiver,
you can record and edit as you normally would using the
controls on each component.
You can enter a name (index name) of up to 8 characters
for preset stations and program sources. These names (for
example, “VHS”) appear in the receiver’s display when a
station or program source is selected.
Note that no more than one name can be entered for each
preset station or program source.
This function is useful for distinguishing components of
the same kind. For example, two VCRs can be specified as
“VHS” and “8MM”, respectively. It is also handy for
identifying components connected to jacks meant for
another type of component, for example, a second CD
player connected to the MD/TAPE jacks.
Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all
components properly.

Sound that consists of three elements:
direct sound, early reflected sound
(early reflections) and reverberative
sound (reverberation). The acoustics
of the surrounding space affect the
way these three sound elements are
heard. Surround sound combines
these sound elements in such a way
that you actually can sense the size of
the venue, as well as its type.
This sound format for movie theaters
is more advanced than Dolby Pro
Logic Surround. In this format, the
surround speakers output stereo
sound with an expanded frequency
range and a sub woofer channel for
deep bass is independently provided.
This format is also called “5.1”
because the sub woofer channel is
counted as 0.1 channel (since it
functions only when a deep bass
effect is needed). All six channels in
this format are recorded separately to
realize superior channel separation.
Furthermore, since all the signals are
processed digitally, less signal
degradation occurs.

This is the generic name of the
surround sound produced by digital
signal processing technology
developed by Sony. Unlike previous
surround sound fields mainly
directed at the reproduction of music,
Digital Cinema Sound is designed
specifically for the enjoyment of
movies.

Do lb y Pro Lo g ic Su rro u n d
As one method of decoding Dolby
Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround
produces four channels from two-
channel sound. Compared with the
former Dolby Surround system,
Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces
left-to-right panning more naturally
and localizes sounds more precisely.
To take full advantage of Dolby Pro
Logic Surround, you should have one
pair of surround speakers and a
center speaker. The surround speakers
output monaural sound.

exists) corresponding to the component and the
maker of the component you want to control.
See the tables on pages 59 and 60 for information on
the numeric code(s) corresponding to the component
and the maker of the component (the first digit and
the last two digits of the numeric code correspond to
the category and the maker’s code respectively.)
Programming the remote
You can program the remote to control non-Sony
components by changing the code. Once the control
signals have been memorized, you can use those
components as part of your system.
Furthermore, you can also program the remote for Sony
components that the remote is unable to control. Note that
the remote can only control components that accept
infrared wireless control signals.

Once the numeric code has been verified, the indicator
slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically

Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-
Sony conponents 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

other codes.
