Overview
The receiver supports the Dolby Pro Logic II system used in creating 5.1-channel audio from two-
channel sources such as television or video, and allows you to enjoy high quality digital surround
sound. The receiver is also equipped with Network Media, which allows you to view photographs (still
images), watch video, or play back music on a VAIO computer through the 5.1-channel speaker system
and television connected to the receiver. It even allows you to access data saved on VAIO computers
in remote locations by establishing network connections to the receiver in the same way you would
access a DVD or other source. Furthermore, if you connect a VAIO computer capable of receiving
television broadcasts to the receiver, you can watch these broadcasts on your television or control
programme recording on the VAIO computer from the receiver.

PL.
(Surround speaker placement)*
Lets you specify the height of your surround speakers
for proper implementation of the surround effects in
the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 43).
The LARGE and SMALL settings of 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, 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.

as the sound field, change to a different programme
source, then return to the DVD, HALL will be
applied again.
Notes
• The effects provided by the virtual speakers may
cause increased noise in the playback signal.
• When listening with sound fields that employ the
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.
• You can identify the encoding format of DVD

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.
Precautions
Safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall onto the cabinet,
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
receiver, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Power sources
• Before operating the unit, check that the operating
voltage is identical to 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 power
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
prolonged period, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the power outlet. To disconnect the AC power
cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• The AC power cord must be replaced only at a
qualified servicing centre.
Heat buildup
Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not
a malfunction. It is also not a malfunction for the upper
left corner of the unit to heat up while the power is on.
If you continuously use this unit at a high volume, the
cabinet temperature of the top, side, and bottom rises
considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch
the cabinet.
Positioning
• 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
location 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.
• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on
surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,
oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the
surface may result.
Operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn
off and unplug the receiver.
