3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-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).

Tips
To change the speaker cord
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional
signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• (Except for the front speaker of HTR-6600) For
greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers,
use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand
(available only in certain countries).
If you want to change the speaker cord, you can
detach the supplied speaker cord from the
connector.
1
Press the connector onto a flat surface.
Make sure that the catcher is facing the flat
surface.
Attaching foot pads
(Except for the front speaker of HTR-6600)
To prevent speaker vibration or movement,
attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as
shown in the illustration below.
catcher
2
3
Pull the speaker cord from the
connector.
Twist the stripped ends of the speaker
cord you want about 10 mm and insert
the speaker cord into the connector.
Note
Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub
woofer as well.
Make sure that the speaker cord is inserted
according to its polarity : + to + and – to –.
Otherwise the sound will be distorted and
will lack bass.
(+)
(–)
+
4
Remove the connector from the flat
surface.
Note
To avoid the speaker cord from coming off the speaker
connector
– do not use a smaller-size speaker cord. We
recommend that you use the AWG#18 to AWG#24
speaker cords.
– use the same speaker cord size for all the speaker
connectors.
– twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords.
– insert the speaker cord completely into the speaker
connector.

For details, see “Speaker setup parameters”

Note
If both surround speakers are not placed an equal
distance from your listening position, set the distance
to the closest speaker.
Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in
the display. This means that they have been

Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in

closer than the front speakers.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters
closer.
Speaker setup parameters
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of 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
meters 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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound
often results in much better surround sound. Give it a
try!

In this mode, the receiver outputs the sound
from the front left/right speakers and sub woofer
only.
When multi channel surround formats are input,
the signals are downmixed to 2 channel with
bass frequencies being output from the sub
woofer.
When standard 2 channel stereo sources are

frequencies will be output from the sub woofer.
In this mode, the receiver automatically detects
the type of audio signal being input (Dolby

and performs the proper decoding if necessary.
This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/
encoded, without adding any surround effects.
However, if there are no low frequency signals
(Dolby Digital LFE, etc.) it will generate a low
frequency signal for output to the sub woofer.

If you encounter color irregularity on a
nearby TV screen
The speakers 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.
Additional Information
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.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.
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 at the rear of the receiver.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on
the receiver.
• The receiver 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.
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 question or problem concerning your
receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the 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.
On placement
• 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.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• 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.

your nearest Sony dealer.
• Make sure you set the tuning interval correctly
(when tuning in AM stations with direct tuning).
• No stations have been preset or the preset stations
have been cleared (when tuning by scanning
preset stations). Preset the stations (page 19).
If you are unable to remedy the
problem using the
troubleshooting guide
RDS does not work.
• Make sure that you are tuned to an FM RDS
station.
• Select a stronger FM station.
Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the
problem (page 13). However, note that all
memorized settings will be reset to their factory
settings and you will have to readjust all settings
on the receiver.
The RDS information that you want does not
appear.
• Contact the radio station and find out whether they
actually provide the service in question. If so, the
service may be temporarily out of order.
If the problem persist
There is no picture or an unclear picture
appears on the TV screen or monitor.
• Select the appropriate input on the receiver.
• Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
• Move your TV away from the audio components.
Consult your nearest Sony dealer.
