speaker, then press  
Tips  
• The “Large” and “Small” settings for 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, since bass sound has a certain amount of  
directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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”.  
.
You can adjust the distance from 1 m 0 cm  
to 10 m 0 cm (3 ft 3 in to 32 ft 9 in) in  
10 cm (1 in) intervals.  
Tip  
You can adjust the distance in 1 cm interval  
when you have performed the Auto Calibration  
and saved the measurement result.  
Notes  
• Depending on the speaker pattern setting, some  
parameters may not be available.  
• This function does not work when “A. DIRECT” is  
being used.  
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 equalizer to boost the bass  
levels.  
• The surround back speakers will be set to the same  
setting as that of the surround speakers.  
• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the  
center, surround, and surround back/front high  
speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.  
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers  
are automatically set to “Large”.  
To adjust the size of each  
speaker  
You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/right,  
front left/right high, center, surround left/right,

then press  
.
• Large: If you connect large speakers that  
will effectively reproduce bass  
frequencies, select “Large”. Normally,  
select “Large”.  
• Small: If the sound is distorted, or you  
feel a lack of surround effects when using  
multi channel surround sound, select  
“Small” to activate the bass redirection  
circuitry and output the bass frequencies  
of each channel from the subwoofer or  
other “Large” speakers.

x D.Range Comp (Dynamic range  
compression)  
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the  
soundtrack. This may be useful when you want  
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.  
Dynamic range compression is possible with  
Dolby Digital sources only.  
To adjust the effect type for  
HD-D.C.S.  
1 Select “HD-D.C.S.”, then press  
or  
b.  
2 Select the effect you want, then press  
.
MAX: The dynamic range is compressed  
dramatically.  
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:  
Theater, Dynamic 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.  
STD: The dynamic range is compressed as  
intended by the recording engineer.  
AUTO: The dynamic range is applied  
automatically with Dolby TrueHD source or  
other source is set to “OFF”.  
• Dynamic  
OFF: The dynamic range is not compressed.  
Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full  
extent, just like at the movie theaters?  
Dynamic type emphasizes on the  
reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S.,  
many rooms are often somewhat  
reverberant but lack a spacious feeling.  
This type acoustically opens up those  
types of rooms and provides a spacious  
and dynamism feeling equivalent to a  
mastering studio.  
Tip  
“STD” is the standard setting, and enacts light  
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the  
“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.

receiver is in the standby mode, the receiver  
outputs HDMI signals from the receiver’s  
HDMI TV OUT jack. Sony recommends  
this setting if you use a “BRAVIA” Sync  
compatible Sony TV. This setting saves  
power in the standby mode when compared  
with the “ON” setting.  
Notes  
• The sound quality of the playback equipment  
depends on the TV’s sound quality, such as the  
number of channels, and the sampling  
frequency, etc. If the TV has stereo speakers, the  
sound output from the receiver is also in stereo as  
that of the TV, even if you play back multi  
channel source.

On placement  
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and  
prolong the life of the receiver.  
Additional Information  
• 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 (aerial). Therefore, we recommend  
using an outdoor antenna (aerial).)  
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.  
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.  
• Use caution when placing the receiver on  
surfaces that have been specially treated  
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or  
discoloration of the surface may result.  
• 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.  
On operation  
Before connecting other equipment, be sure to  
turn off and unplug the receiver.  
• (USA and Canada models only)  
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.  
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.  
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be  
changed only at a qualified service shop.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your receiver, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.  
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.
