Tip
Note on video component
hookups
When using the S-video jacks instead of the video
jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an
S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus
from the video signals and will not be output through
the video jacks.
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks
to the VIDEO 2 AUDIO IN jacks on the
receiver and apply sound effects to the audio
from the TV. In this case, do not connect the
TV’s video output jack to the VIDEO 2
VIDEO IN jack on the receiver. If you are
connecting a separate satellite tuner, connect
both the audio and video output jacks to the
receiver as shown above.
Note
On this receiver, the component video signals are not
compatible with S-video signals or video signals.
If you have a DVD player, TV or satellite tuner
with COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, B-Y, R-Y)
output jacks and a monitor with COMPONENT
VIDEO input jacks, use a component video
cord (not supplied) to connect to the receiver.

Digital component hookups
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital
input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully
enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a
center speaker) and a sub woofer are required.

Multi channel input hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel
input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other
than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel 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 channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel
decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound (5.1 channel), five speakers (two front speakers, two
surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. To enjoy 6.1 channel
surround sound, you need to make SURR BACK hookup (page 16). Refer to the operating
instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi
channel hookups.
Notes
• When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the
DVD player or multi channel decoder.
• See page 15 for details on speaker system hookup.

Speaker system hookups (continued)
Notes
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
10 mm. Be sure to match the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
Stripped cords are touching each other
due to excessive removal of insulation.
SURR BACK hookup
The receiver lets you enjoy 6.1 channel
surround sound when you connect the
receiver’s PRE OUT SURR BACK jack to the
INPUT jack on another power amplifier with a
monaural audio cord. For details on the use of
sound field, see page 25.
Stripped cords are not fully attached and
are touching the rear panel of the receiver.
Tip
After connecting all the components,
speakers, and AC power cord, output
a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly.
For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 22.
To enjoy the 6.1 channel surround sound, set the
S B
“Surround back speaker selection (
)” to “YES”
(page 19).
To avoid short-circuiting the
speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage
the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take
the following precautions when connecting the
speakers.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while
outputting a test tone or a test tone is output
from a speaker other than the one whose name
is currently displayed on the receiver, the
speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens,
check the speaker connection again.
Make sure the stripped ends of each
speaker cord does not touch another
speaker terminal, the stripped end of
another speaker cord, or the metal parts of
the receiver.
To avoid damaging your
speakers
Examples of poor conditions of the
speaker cord
Make sure that you turn down the volume
before you turn off the receiver. When you turn
on the receiver, the volume remains at the level
you turn off the receiver.
Stripped speaker cord is touching another
speaker terminal.

Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on page 62. See pages
17–22 for speaker settings and page 41 for
other settings.
Once you have hooked up the speakers and
turned on the power, clear the receiver’s
memory. Then specify the speaker parameters
(size, position, etc.) and perform any other
initial setup operations necessary for your
system.
Multi channel surround
setup
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(page 22).
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
Clearing the receiver’s
memory
However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B), the
surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C)
and the surround back speaker up to 4.5 meters
closer (D) to the listening position.
Before using your receiver for the first time, or
when you want to clear the receiver’s memory,
do the following.
1 Turn off the receiver.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters from the listening position (A).
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
“PUSH” and “ENTER” appears in the
display alternatingly.
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).
3 Press ENTER.
After “CLEARING” appears in the display
for a while, “CLEARED” appears.

x Surround back speaker distance
Multi channel surround setup
(continued)
S B
(
DIST. X.X m)
Tip
Set the distance from your listening position to
the surround back speaker. Surround back
speaker distance should be set from a distance
equal to the front speaker distance (A on page
17) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your
listening position (D on page 17).
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”
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”.
Tip
The receiver allows 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 meters closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set farther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters
closer.
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 BASS parameter in the EQ menu to
boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page 33.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to enjoy 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 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 sound
stage.

x Surround speaker placement
XXXXXXX)*
The surround speaker placement parameter is
designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes with virtual elements.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker
placement is not as critical as other modes. All modes
with virtual elements 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 towards the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
sound fields with virtual elements will not be
effective unless the surround speaker placement
parameter is set to “SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using “BEHD/HI” if your speakers are
located high above the listening position, even if they
are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the “Surround speaker placement” explanation, we
recommend that you playback 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 of the front speakers. If you are not sure
which sounds best, select “BEHD/LO” or

control system will be available with the

CEK)
Getting Started
CONTROL A1II control system.
This section explains the basic functions
of the CONTROL A1 Control System.
Certain components have special
functions, such as “CD Synchro Dubbing”
on cassette decks, that require CONTROL
A1 connections. For detailed information
regarding specific operations, be sure to
also refer to the Operating Instructions
supplied with your component(s).
However, when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
components with CONTROL A1II jacks, the
number of functions that can be controlled may be
limited depending on the component. For detailed
information, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the component(s).
Connections
The CONTROL A1II Control System was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL A1II connections
provide a path for the transmission of control
signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with
integrated systems.
Connect monaural mini-plug cords in series to
the CONTROL A1II jacks on the back of each
component. You can connect up to 10
CONTROL A1II compatible components in
any order. However, you can connect only one
of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1
MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver).
(You may be able to connect more than one CD
player or MD deck, depending on the model.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the respective component for details.)
Currently, CONTROL A1II connections
between a Sony CD player, amplifier
(receiver), MD deck and cassette deck provide
automatic function selection and synchronized
recording.
Example
In the future, the CONTROL A1II connection
will work as a multifunction bus allowing you
to control various functions for each
component.

Notes
• The CONTROL A1II Control System is designed to
maintain upward compatibility as the Control
System is upgraded to handle new functions. In this
case, however, older components will not be
compatible with the new functions.
• Do not operate a 2 way remote control unit when
the CONTROL A1II jacks are connected via a PC
interface kit to a personal computer running “MD
Editor” or similar application. Also, do not operate
the connected component in a manner contrary to
the functions of the application, as this may cause
the application to operate incorrectly.

In the CONTROL A1II control system, the
control signals flow both ways, so there is no
distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a
component has more than one CONTROL A1II
jack, you can use either one, or connect
different components to each jack.
Automatic function selection
When you connect a CONTROL A1II
compatible Sony amplifier (or receiver) to
other Sony components using monaural mini-
plug cords, the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches
to the correct input when you press the play
button on one of the connected components.
Jacks and connection examples
CONTROL A1
Notes
• You must connect a CONTROL A1 compatible
amplifier (receiver) using a monaural mini-plug
cord in order to take advantage of the automatic
function selection feature.
• This function only works when the components are
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs
according to the names on the function buttons.
Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of
the function buttons. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
• When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will cause the
automatic function selection to operate.

instructions supplied with the component(s).
1 Set the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) to the source
component.
About the connecting cord
Some CONTROL A1 compatible components
are supplied with a connecting cord as an
accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord
for your connection.
2 Set the source component to pause
mode (make sure both the N and X
indicators light together).
When using a commercially available cord, use
a monaural mini-plug cord less than 2 meters
long, with no resistance (such as the Sony
RK-G69HG).
3 Set the recorder component to the
REC-PAUSE mode.
4 Press PAUSE on the recorder
component.
The source component is released from
the pause mode, and recording begins
shortly thereafter.
When playback ends from the source
component, recording stops.
Basic Functions
The CONTROL A1II functions will operate as
long as the component you want to operate is
turned on, even if all of the other connected
components are not turned on.
Notes
• Do not set more than one component to the pause
mode.
• Certain recorder components may be equipped with
a special synchronized recording function that uses
the CONTROL A1II Control System, such as
“CD Synchro Dubbing”. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the recorder
component.

Precautions
Troubleshooting
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.
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Also, see “Checking the connections”
on page 22 to verify that the connections are
correct.
On power sources
• Before operating the unit, check that the operating
voltage is identical with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate
at the rear 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 receiver 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.
There is no sound or only a very low-level sound
no matter which component is selected.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected securely and correctly.
• Check that both the receiver and all the
components are turned on.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
• Check that the MASTER VOLUME control is
not set at “VOL MIN”.
On heat buildup
• Check that the SPEAKERS (OFF/A/B/A+B)
button is not set to off and is set accordingly to
your SPEAKERS FRONT system (page 24).
Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this unit at
a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• Press MUTING on the remote to cancel the
muting function.
• Check that the headphones are not connected.
On placement
• The protective device on the receiver has been
activated because of a short circuit (“PROTECT”
flashes). Turn off the receiver, eliminate the
short-circuit problem and turn on the power
again.
• 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.
There is no sound from a specific component.
• Check that the component is connected correctly
to the audio input jacks for that component.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• Use caution when placing the unit on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish,
etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
• Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is
(are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the
receiver and the component.
• Check that you have selected the correct
component on the receiver.
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.

There is no sound from one of the front
speakers.
There is no sound from the active sub woofer.
• Check that the sub woofer is connected correctly
and securely.
Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack
to verify that sound is output from the headphones
(page 24).
• Make sure the sub woofer selection parameter is
set to “YES” (page 18).
If only one channel is output from the headphones,
the component may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check that all the cords are fully
inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the
component.
• There is no sound output from the SUB
WOOFER terminal depending on the sound field
(back page).
The surround effect cannot be obtained.
Make sure the sound field function is on (press
MOVIE or MUSIC).
If both channels are output from the headphones,
the front speaker may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check the connection of the
front speaker which is not outputting any sound.
Dolby Digital or DTS multi channel sound is not
reproduced.
• Check that the playing DVD, etc. is recorded in
Dolby Digital or DTS format.
The left and right sounds are unbalanced or
reversed.
• When connecting the DVD player, etc. to the
digital input jacks of this receiver, check the
audio setting (settings for the audio output) of the
connected component.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected correctly and securely.
• Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu.
There is severe hum or noise.
Recording cannot be done.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected securely.
• Check that the components are connected
correctly.
• Check that the connecting cords are away from a
transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away
from a TV set or fluorescent light.
• Select the source component with input selector
buttons.
• Make sure that INPUT MODE is set to
“ANALOG” before recording from a digital
component connected to the analog MD/TAPE
terminals.
• Move your TV away from the audio components.
• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a
cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
There is no sound or only a very low-level sound
is heard from the center or/and surround
speakers.
• Make sure that INPUT MODE is set to “COAX
IN” or “OPT IN” (page 23) before recording
from a digital component connected to the
DIGITAL MD/TAPE OUT terminals.
• Make sure the sound field function is on (press
MOVIE or MUSIC).
• Select a sound field containing the word
“C.ST.EX” (pages 26–27).
continued
• Adjust the speaker level (page 22).
• Make sure the center or/and surround speaker
size parameter is set to either “SMALL” or
“LARGE” (page 19).

Troubleshooting (continued)
The remote does not function.
• RM-PP412 only
– The TV/SAT, PHONO, SOURCE, DIRECT,
AAC BI-LING, 12 and ON SCREEN buttons
on the remote are not available.
The FM reception is poor.
Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to
connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as
shown below. If you connect the receiver to an
outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To
prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground
wire to a gas pipe.
– Check that the command mode of the remote
corresponds to that of the receiver. If the
command mode of the receiver and the remote
is different, you cannot use the remote to
operate the receiver (pages 41 and 48).
– Press MAIN MENU on the remote before you
use the V/v/B/b buttons for receiver
operation.

component.
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak
(when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use
direct tuning.
• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly
(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).
If you are unable to remedy the
problem using the troubleshooting
guide
Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy
the problem (page 17). However, note that all
memorized settings will be reset to their factory
settings and you will have to readjust all
settings on the receiver.
• No stations have been preset or the preset
stations have been cleared (when tuning by
scanning preset stations). Preset the stations
