Test Tone
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.
You can select the test tone type on the “Test
Tone” screen.
Note
Test tone is not output from the headphones
connected to the S-AIR surround amplifier.
Tips
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”.
• To adjust the level of all speakers at the same time,
press MASTER VOL +/– (RM-AAP055 only) or
2 +/– (RM-AAP056 only). You can also use
MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
• The adjusted value is shown on the TV screen
during adjustment.
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 front high speakers are also
automatically set to “Small”.

Clearing all the contents
of the remote’s memory
1 While holding down MASTER
VOL – (RM-AAP055 only) or
2 – (RM-AAP056 only), press
and hold ?/1, then press
AV ?/1.
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.
The RM SET UP indicator flashes 3
times.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
2 Release all buttons.
All the contents of the remote’s memory
(i.e., all the programmed data) are
cleared.
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 (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• (USA model 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.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a 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.
continued
135GB
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.
On S-AIR function
• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by
radio waves, sound may skip when radio
waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic
of radio waves and is not malfunction.
• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by
radio waves, equipment that generates
electromagnetic energy, such as a
microwave oven, may prevent sound
transmission.
• 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).)
• 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.
• As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves
that share the same frequency as other
wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or
Bluetooth devices, interference or poor
transmission may result. In this case, take
the following steps:
– Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near
other wireless systems.
– Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the
other wireless systems spontaneously.
– The transmission may be improved by
changing the transmission channel
(frequency) of the other wireless
system(s). For details, refer to the
operating instructions of the other wireless
system(s).
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
• The transmission distance differs depending
on the usage environment. Find a location
where transmission between the S-AIR main
unit and sub unit is most effective, and install
the S-AIR main unit and sub unit there.
• Place the S-AIR product(s) on the stable
surface off the floor.
• Poor transmission may occur and the
transmission distance may be too short if the
following conditions exist:
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.
– There is a wall/floor made of reinforced
concrete or stone between the S-AIR
product(s).
– There is an iron divider/door or furniture/
electric product made of fireproof glass,
metal, etc., between the S-AIR product(s).
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

• The protective device on the receiver has
been activated. Turn off the receiver,
eliminate the short-circuit problem, and
turn on the power again.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
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.
• Set the INPUT MODE to “AUTO”
(page 103).
General
The receiver is turned off
automatically.
• “Auto Standby” is set to “ON” (page 121).
• The Sleep Timer function is working
(page 59).
There is no sound from one of the front
speakers.
• Connect a pair of headphones to the
PHONES jack to verify that sound is
output from the headphones. If only one
channel is output from the headphones, the
component may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check that all the cords
