1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel
system (5 speakers and one sub woofer).
To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1
channel).
Installing the speakers on a flat
surface
Before you install the speakers and sub
woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads
to prevent vibration or movement as shown in
the illustration below.
Example of a 5.1 channel
speaker system configuration
Installing the speakers on the
speaker stand
For greater flexibility in positioning the
speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 speaker
stand (available only in certain countries). For
details, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the speaker stand.

fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.

material or screws to be used.

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural

Calibration
Before you perform Auto Calibration, install
and connect the speakers (page 14, 16).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not
connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the
microphone.
Tip
Under normal conditions, the batteries should last
for about 3 months. When the remote no longer
operates the receiver, replace all the batteries with
new ones.
• During calibration, the sound that comes out
of the speakers is very loud. The volume of
the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention
to the presence of children or to the effect on
your neighborhood.
• Perform Auto Calibration in a quiet
environment to avoid the effect of noise and
to get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers,
the calibration cannot be performed
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the
measurement area to avoid measurement
error.

listening position. For details, see
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “COMP. 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 compression.

Note
Notes
Audio signals are not output from the TV’s
speakers when “AUDIO FOR HDMI” is set to
“AMP”.
• This parameter is useful when you use a large LCD
or plasma monitor or a projector.
• This parameter is valid only when you use a sound

• This parameter is not valid when
– signals with a sampling frequency of more than
48 kHz are input.
• TV+AMP

The distance between the center speaker and the
listening position B cannot be more than 1.5 meters
closer than the one between the listening position
and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that
the difference in the length of B in the following
diagram is no more than 1.5 meters closer than the
length of A.
(Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround
speakers for proper implementation of the
surround effects in the CINEMA STUDIO EX
Example: Adjust the distance B to 4.5 meters or
more when the distance A is 6 meters.
Also, the distance between the surround speakers
and the listening position C cannot be more than
4.5 meters closer than the distance between the
listening position and the front speakers A. Place
the speakers so that the difference in the length of
C in the following diagram is no more than 4.5
meters closer than the length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 1.5 meters or
more when the distance A is 6 meters.
This is important because incorrect speaker
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of
surround sound. Please note that placing the
speakers closer than the required 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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it try!
• BEHD/HI
Select if the location of your surround
speakers corresponds to sections B and D.

Tip
Surround speaker position is designed specifically
for implementation of the CINEMA STUDIO EX
modes. For other sound fields, speaker position is
not so critical.
Those sound fields were designed under the premise
that the surround speakers 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
surround effects become unclear unless set to
“SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”.
Calibrating the
appropriate settings
automatically
(A. CAL menu)
For details on Auto Calibration, see
“7: Calibrating the appropriate settings
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as 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 located to the immediate
left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting
contrary to the above explanation, we recommend
that you play back multi channel surround encoded
software and select 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 “BEHD/HI” and then
use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level
adjustments to obtain proper balance.

x Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video
signal information. The luminance signal Y
and chrominance signal C are combined and
transmitted together.
Additional Information
Glossary
x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
A unique sound reproduction technology for
home theatre developed by Sony, in
cooperationwithSonyPictures Entertainment,
for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound
of movie theatres at home. With this “Digital
Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured
data, the ideal sound field intended by
x Cinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded
as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound
technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing
theatre 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 channels, and brings the surround sound
experience of a theatre with the latest facilities
into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble
attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound
usually created in a theatre 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 theatres and recording studios,
including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s
dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
filmmakers can be experienced at home.
x Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It
consists of front (left/right), center, surround
(left/right) and sub woofer 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.
x Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2 channel stereo
recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback.
There is a MOVIE mode for movies and
MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as
music. Old movies encoded in the traditional
stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1
channel surround sound.
x Component 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.
x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono
surround information is matrixed into two
stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is
decoded and output in 4 channel surround
sound. This is the most common audio
processing method for DVD video.

x DTS Digital Surround
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology
for theatres developed by DTS, Inc. It
compresses audio less than Dolby Digital,
delivering a higher quality sound
reproduction.
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.
x HDMI (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.
On power sources
• 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.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
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.
x LFE (Low Frequency Effects)
Sound effects of low frequencies which are
output from a sub woofer in Dolby Digital or
DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a
frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio
becomes more powerful.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at
a qualified service shop.
x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
A method of converting analog audio to digital
audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.
On heat buildup
x Sampling frequency
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.
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.
x x.v.Colour
x.v.Colour is a more familiar term for the
xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a
trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international
standard for colour space in video.
This standard can express a wider colour range
than the currently used broadcast standard.

On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV
set.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
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.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too
close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is
especially likely when using an indoor
antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna.)
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the
volume on 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.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
• Use caution when placing the receiver or
speakers on surfaces that have been specially
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as
staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
If you encounter color
irregularity on a nearby TV
screen
The front speakers, center speaker and the sub
woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to
be installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularities may still be observed on certain
types of TV sets.
As the surround speakers are not magnetically
shielded, we recommend that you place the
surround speakers slightly further away from
the TV set (page 14).
If color irregularity is
observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
