3: Connecting speakers  
Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 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) (see Selecting the surround back decoding  
modeon page 33).  
Example of 6.1 channel speaker system configuration  
Center speaker  
Front speaker (Right)

Surround back speaker  
Tips  
When you connect 6.1 channel speaker system, place the surround back speaker behind the listening position.  
Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

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 LARGEif 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

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in  
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the  
center speaker further thanthe front speakers. Also, the  
center speaker cannot be set more than 1.5 meters (5  
feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further  
away from the listening position than the front  
speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters (15  
feet) closer.  
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 12  
meters (36 feet) closer than the actual speaker  
position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being  
insidethe 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.

Tip  
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/LOor SIDE/HI.  
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many  
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain  
better results using BEHD/HIif your speakers are  
located high above the listening position, even if they  
are to the immediate left and right.  
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  
BEHD/LOor BEHD/HIand then use the speaker  
distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to  
obtain proper balance.

Outputs the sound in 2 channel (stereo). Standard 2  
channel stereo sources completely bypass the sound  
field processing and multi channel surround formats  
are downmixed to 2 channels.  
The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes consist of  
the following three elements.  
Virtual Multi Dimension  
x HP MULTI (HEADPHONE MULTI)

is operating, the system will automatically switch to  
HEADPHONE 2CH if using a sound field selected  
with the 2CH or A.F.D. button, or to HEADPHONE  
THEATER if using a sound field selected with the  
MOVIE or MUSIC button.  
The CINEMA STUDIO EX modes integrate  
these three elements simultaneously.  
Notes  
The effects provided by the virtual speakers may  
cause increased noise in the playback signal.  
When listening with sound fields that employ the  
virtual speakers, you will not be able to hear any  
sound coming directly from the surround speakers.

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.  
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.  
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 toinsert the plugfully 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.  
On operation  
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn  
off and unplug the receiver.
