A
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether or not 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 sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.

30
• LOW
Select if the height of your surround speakers
corresponds to section A.
However, it is best not to cut them, 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”.
• HIGH
Select if the height of your surround speakers
corresponds to section B.
* This setup item is not available when the surround
speaker parameter is set to “NO”.
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. To
adjust the bass, see page 26.

Customizing sound fields
By adjusting the LEVEL menu and TONE
menu, you can customize the sound fields to suit
your particular listening situation.
Position your speakers and do the procedures
described in “Placing speakers” (page 8) and
“Checking the connections” (page 11) before
you customize a sound field.
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the
recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Adjusting the LEVEL menu
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.
“STD” is the initial setting, but it only enacts light
compression.
You can adjust the balance and level of each
speaker. These settings are applied to all sound
fields. (Except for the EFCT. parameter. The
setting of the EFCT. parameter is stored for each
sound field independently.)
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.

Additional Information
Precautions
On safety
If you have any question or problem concerning your
receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
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 unit, 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.
• 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.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the unit heats up during operation, this is not
a malfunction. Besides, it is not a malfunction that the
upper left corner of the unit heats up while the power is
on. If you continuously use this unit 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 unit 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.
