seating position.
Recommended speaker
placement
7.1 channel speaker system
• The angle A shown in the illustration
should be the same.
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional
signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• If you cannot place the speakers at the
optimum angle, separate the surround
speakers and the surround back speakers
adequately and arrange them as
symmetrically as possible.
• You can calibrate speaker positioning using
“Speaker Relocation” even if you cannot
place the speakers at the optimum angle
(page 103). Arrange each pair of the
surround speakers and the surround back
speakers spread further back than 90 degrees
to operate “Speaker Relocation” effectively.
• Install the front high speakers at a position as
near as possible to the wall in front of the
seating position and behind the speakers.
The position should be at an angle of 25 to
30 degrees and at a height of 180 to 200 cm
(190 cm is recommended). When you use a
screen, arrange them slightly to the side of
each end of the screen.

System requirements
The following system environment is required
to use the network function of the receiver.
A Broadband line connection
A Broadband line connection to the Internet is
required in order to enjoy Internet video or to
use the software update function of the
receiver.
Modem
This is the device that is connected to the
broadband line to communicate with the
Internet. Some of these devices are integrated
with the router.
Router
• Use a router compatible with 100 Mbps to
enjoy content on your home network.
• We recommend that you use a router
equipped with the built-in DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server.
This function automatically assigns IP
addresses on the LAN.
LAN cable (CAT5)
• We recommend that you use this type of
cable for a wired LAN.
Some flat-type LAN cables are easily
affected by noise. We recommend that you
use normal-type cables.
• If the receiver is used in an environment in
which there is power supply noise from
electric products or in a noisy network
environment, use a shielded-type LAN
cable.

HD-D.C.S.
HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is Sony’s new innovative home theater
technology using the latest acoustic and digital signal processing technologies.
It is based on precise response measurement data of a mastering studio.
With HD-D.C.S., you are able to enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies at home with
not only the high quality of sound, but also the best sound ambience, just as the
movie’s sound engineer intended in the mastering process.

About the effect type for HD-
D.C.S.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Dynamic, Theater, and Studio. Each type has
different reflection and reverberation sound
mixture levels and is optimized to match a
listener’s room uniqueness, taste and mood.
x Dynamic
The “Dynamic” setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but lacks a
spacious feeling (where sound absorption is
not sufficient). This setting emphasizes the
reflection of sound and reproduces the sound
of a large, classical movie theater. Thus, the
spacious feeling of a dubbing theater is
emphasized and a unique acoustic field is
created.
x Theater
Factory default setting. The “Theater” setting
is suitable for a general living room. This
setting reproduces the reverberation of sound
just like in a movie theater (dubbing theater).
It is most appropriate for watching content
recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you want the
atmosphere of a movie theater.
x Studio
The “Studio” setting is suitable for a living
room with the appropriate sound equipment.
This setting reproduces the reverberation of
sound provided when a theatrical sound source
is remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume level
suitable for home use. The level of reflection
and reverberation of sound is kept to the
minimum. However, dialogues and surround
effects are reproduced vividly.

4 Select the audio and/or video
signals you want to assign to
each input.
Notes
• If you assign an input to any of the HDMI IN 1 to
IN 6 jacks in “Video Input Assign” or “Audio Input
Assign,” the same HDMI input jack is assigned to
both the video input and audio input. If you want to
assign an HDMI IN jack to either the video input or
audio input, first assign an input to any of the
HDMI IN 1 to IN 6 jacks in “Video Input Assign”
or “Audio Input Assign.” Then, set the assignment
of an HDMI IN jack to “None” in either “Video
Input Assign” or “Audio Input Assign,” for
whichever one you do not want to assign an HDMI
IN jack to.
• When you operate the receiver without using the
GUI, you can change the assignment of an HDMI
IN jack using “HDMI VIDEO ASSIGN ?” or
“HDMI AUDIO ASSIGN ?” in “INPUT
SETTINGS” (page 124).
• If you change the assignment of an HDMI IN jack
while the Control for HDMI function is being used,
switch the input of the receiver to the input to
which the HDMI equipment is connected.
Otherwise the Control for HDMI function may not
work properly.
• If you set the assignment of an HDMI IN jack to
“NONE” in both “Video Input Assign” and “Audio
Input Assign,” you can not select the input signals
via the HDMI input. In this case, the Control for
HDMI function works only on equipment other
than the receiver. However, this is not malfunction.

Notes
• When you assign the digital audio input, the
INPUT MODE setting may change automatically.
• When you assign a video input to the component or
composite input, and an audio input to the HDMI
input, component or composite video signals are
not output from the HDMI OUT jacks. Component
or composite video signals are output from the
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks or
the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack.
• You cannot assign different HDMI jacks to
separate video and audio input jacks of an input.
• You can assign multiple inputs with the same
HDMI IN jack. However, if you use the One-Touch
Play function on the equipment connected to the
HDMI IN jack, the previous input, in its original
input sequence, is preferentially selected.

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.
Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
On cleaning
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.
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.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
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.
• 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 top of the cabinet may become too hot to touch.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
