x DEC. PRI. (Digital audio input  
decoding priority)  
Lets you specify the input mode for the digital  
signal input to the DIGITAL IN jacks.  
• DEC. AUTO  
Automatically switches the input mode  
between DTS, Dolby Digital, or PCM.  
• DEC. PCM  
PCM signals are given priority (to prevent  
interruption when playback starts).  
However, when other signals are input, there  
may be no sound depending on the format.  
In this case, set to “DEC. AUTO”.  
You can adjust various receiver settings to suit  
your preference. For details on adjusting the  
parameters, see “Navigating through the setup  
parameters” (page 25) and “Overview of the  
setup parameters” (page 26)  
x FRT BAL (Front speaker  
balance)  
Lets you adjust the balance between front left  
and right speakers.  
Note  
When set to “DEC. AUTO” and the sound from the  
digital audio jacks (for CD, etc.) is interrupted when  
playback starts, set to “DEC. PCM”.  
x D. RANGE (Dynamic range  
compressor)  
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the  
sound track. 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.  
• COMP. OFF  
The dynamic range is not compressed.  
• COMP. STD  
The dynamic range is compressed as  
intended by the recording engineer.  
• COMP. MAX  
x DUAL (Digital broadcast  
language selection)  
Lets you select the language you want to listen  
to during digital broadcast. This feature only  
functions for Dolby Digital sources.  
• DUAL M/S (Main/Sub)  
Sound of the main language will be output  
through the front left speaker and sound of  
the sub language will be output through the  
front right speaker simultaneously.  
• DUAL M (Main)  
The dynamic range is compressed  
dramatically.  
Sound of the main language will be output.  
• DUAL S (Sub)  
Sound of the sub language will be output.  
• DUAL M+S (Main + Sub)  
Mixed sound of both the main and sub  
languages will be output.  
Tip  
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.

display is minimized.  
You can adjust the tonal quality of the front  
speakers using the TREBLE +/– and BASS

or plasma monitor or a projector.  
• This parameter is valid only when you use a sound  
field selected with the A.F.D. button.  
• This parameter is not valid when  
– PCM 96 kHz or DTS 2048 signals are input.  
– ANALOG DIRECT function is selected.  
x SW PHASE (Sub woofer phase  
polarity)  
Lets you set the sub woofer phase polarity.  
• NORMAL  
Normally, select “NORMAL”.  
• REVERSE  
Depending on the type of front speakers, the  
position of the sub woofer, and the cut-off  
frequency of the sub woofer, setting the  
phase polarity to “REVERSE” may produce  
better bass. Besides bass reproduction, the  
richness and tightness of the overall sound  
may also be affected. While listening from  
the main listening position, select the setting  
that best suits your environment.  
x DIMMER (Brightness of the  
display)  
Lets you adjust the brightness in 3 steps.

Storing FM stations  
automatically  
(AUTOBETICAL)  
“AUTO-BETICAL SELECT” appears on  
the display and the receiver scans and  
stores all the FM and FM RDS stations in  
the broadcast area.  
For RDS stations, the tuner first checks  
for stations broadcasting the same  
program, then stores only the ones with  
the clearest signal. The selected RDS  
stations are sorted alphabetically by their  
Program Service name, then assigned a 2-  
character preset code. For more details on  
RDS, see page 36.  
This function lets you store up to 30 FM and  
FM RDS stations in alphabetical order without  
redundancy. Additionally, it only stores the  
stations with the clearest signals.  
If you want to store FM or AM stations one by  
one, see “Presetting radio stations” (page 35).  
Be sure to use the buttons on the receiver for  
this operation.  
Regular FM stations are assigned 2-  
character preset codes and stored after the  
RDS stations.

Precautions  
Additional Information  
On safety  
Glossary  
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 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 5.1ch surround. Since surround  
information is recorded and reproduced in  
stereo, more realistic sound with fuller  
presence is delivered than with Dolby  
surround.  
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 DTS Digital Surround  
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology  
for theaters developed by Digital Theater  
Systems, Inc. It compresses audio less than  
Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality  
sound reproduction.  
x Sampling frequency  
• The AC power cord must be changed only at  
a qualified service shop.  
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.  
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.  
continued  
41GB  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
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.  
• Do not place the receiver near equipment  
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If  
the receiver is being used in combination  
with a television, 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.)  
Troubleshooting  
If you experience any of the following  
difficulties while using the receiver, use this  
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the  
problem.  
There is no sound, no matter which  
component is selected, or only a very  
low-level sound is heard.  
• Check that the speakers and components  
are connected securely.  
• Check that both the receiver and all  
components are turned on.  
• Check that MASTER VOLUME is not set  
to “VOL MIN”.  
• Check that the SPEAKERS (OFF/A/B/  
A+B) is not set to off.  
• Check that headphone is not connected.  
• Press MUTING to cancel the muting  
function.  
• Check that you have selected the correct  
component with the input buttons.  
• The protective device on the receiver has  
been activated. Turn off the receiver,  
eliminate the short-circuit problem, and  
turn on the power again.  
• 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.  
On operation  
Before connecting other components, be sure  
to turn off and unplug the receiver.  
There is no sound from a specific  
component.  
• Check that the component is connected  
correctly to the audio input jacks for that  
component.  
• 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 with the input buttons.  
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.
