Tips
• When using the S-video jacks instead of the video jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an S-video jack.
S-video signals are on a separate bus from the video signals and will not be output through the video jacks.
• On this receiver, standard video signals can be converted to component video or S-video signals and S-video
signals can be converted to component video signals. These upconverted video signals can only be output from the
MONITOR VIDEO OUT jack. However, you cannot convert the component video signals to standard video or
S-video signals.
• When standard video signals (composite video signals) or S-video signals from a VCR etc. are converted upward
on this receiver and then output to your TV, depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the
TV screen may appear distorted horizontally or no image may be output.

3: Connecting speakers
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 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).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of DVD software recorded in the Surround EX format if you
connect one additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel) (see “Selecting the surround back decoding mode” on page 33).
Example of 7.1 channel speaker system configuration
Center speaker
Front speaker (Right)
Surround speaker (Right)
Front speaker (Left)
Sub woofer
Surround speaker (Left)
Surround back speaker (Right)
Surround back speaker (Left)
Tips
• When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position (see
“When placing only one surround back speaker” illustration on page 20).
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Notes
• The AC OUTLET(s) on the rear of the receiver is a
switched outlet, which supplies power to the
connected component only while the receiver is
turned on.
4: Connecting the AC
power cord
• Make sure that the total power consumption of the
component(s) connected to the receiver’s AC
OUTLET(s) does not exceed the wattage stated on
the rear panel. Do not connect high-wattage
electrical home appliances such as electric irons,
fans, or TVs to this outlet. This may cause a
malfunction.
Setting the voltage selector
If your receiver has a voltage selector on the rear
panel, check that the voltage selector is set to the
local power supply voltage. If not, use a
screwdriver to set the selector to the correct

(Surround speakers size)
• 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 sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, 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
“SMALL”.

If you connect large speakers that will

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of

If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set

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 (3–6 feet) 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.

Surround speaker position is designed specifically for
implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so
critical. Those sound fields were designed under the
premise that the surround speakers would be located
behind the listening position, but presentation remains
fairly consistent even with the surround speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the
speakers are pointing toward the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
surround effects becomes unclear unless set to
“SIDE/LOW” or “SIDE/HIGH”.

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the above explanation, we recommend that you
playback multi channel surround encoded software and
select the setting that provides a good sense of
spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a
cohesive space between the surround sound from the
surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.
If you are not sure which sounds best, select

2ND ZONE
You can select the analog audio signals you
want to output to a stereo amplifier in another
room or zone.
You can record the sound from any audio source onto
a video tape while copying from a video tape or DVD.
Locate the point where you want to start recording
from another audio source, select the program source,
then start playback. The audio from that source will be
recorded onto the audio track of the video tape instead
of the audio from the original medium. To resume
audio recording from the original medium, select the
video source again.
Press 2ND ZONE repeatedly to select the
analog audio signals you want to output.
Each time you press the button, the audio source
changes cyclically as follows:

OUT jacks. No signals are output from components
connected to only the digital input jacks.
• When “SOURCE” is selected, the signals input to the
MULTI CH IN jacks are not output from the 2ND
ZONE OUT jacks even when MULTI CH IN is
selected. The analog audio signals of the current
input are output.
• The analog audio signals of the current input are
output from the VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2
AUDIO OUT jacks.
• The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not
output from VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2
AUDIO OUT jacks even when MULTI CH IN is
being used. The analog audio signals of the current or
previously used input are output.
• Some sources contain copy guards to prevent
recording. In this case, you may not be able to record
from the sources.

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.
off and unplug the receiver.
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.
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.
• 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.
• (Models of area code U, CA 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.
• 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 on surfaces
that have been specially treated (with wax, oil,
polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface
may result.

headphones, the component may not be connected
to the receiver correctly. Check that all the cords
are fully inserted into the jacks on both the
receiver and the component. If both channels are
output from the headphones, the front speaker
may not be connected to the receiver correctly.
Check the connection of the front speaker which is
not outputting any sound.
• Check that the connecting cords are away from a
transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters (10
feet) away from a TV set or fluorescent light.
