Notes
* Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
10 mm (2/3 inch). Be sure to match the speaker
cord to the appropriate terminal on the components:
+ to + and — to —. If the cords are reversed, the
sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
* If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
To avoid short-circuiting the
speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage
the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take
the following precautions when connecting the
speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each
speaker cord does not touch another
speaker terminal, the stripped end of
another speaker cord, or the metal parts of
the receiver.
Examples of poor conditions of the
speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another
Speaker terminal.
18°
Stripped cords are touching each other
due to excessive removal of insulation.
Stripped cords are not fully attached and
are touching the rear panel of the receiver.
After connecting all the components,
speakers, and AC power cord, output
a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly.
For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 24.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while
outputting a test tone or a test tone is output
from a speaker other than the one whose name
is currently displayed on the receiver, the
speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens,
check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your
speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume
before you turn off the receiver. When you turn
on the receiver, the volume remains at the level
you turn off the receiver.
Performing initial setup
operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and
turned on the power, clear the receiver’s
memory. Then specify the speaker parameters
(size, position, etc.) and perform any other
initial setup operations necessary for your
system.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(page 24).
Clearing the receiver’s
memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or
when you want to clear the receiver’s memory,
do the following.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down I/(5 for 5 seconds.
"ENTER to Clear" appears in the display.
Press ENTER.
After “MEMORY CLEARING” appears in
the display for a while, “MEMORY
CLEARED!” appears.
The following are reset to their factory
settings.
° All settings in the SET UP,
CUSTOMIZE, LEVEL and
EQUALIZER menus.
* The sound field memorized for each
INPUT SELECTOR and preset station.
° All sound field parameters.
° All preset stations.
° All index names for INPUT
SELECTOR and preset stations.
* The master volume is set to
“VOLUME MIN”.
Performing initial setup
operations
Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on pages 73—74. See
pages 19—23 for speaker settings and pages 42—
43 for other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (Ө).
However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (Ө),
the surround speakers ир to 4.5 meters (15 feet)
closer (@) and the surround back speaker up to
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (@) to the listening
position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) from the listening
position (Q).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).

When placing surround speakers behind you
(wide room)
Tips
* When you set up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening
position. It is recommended to place the speaker at
an equal distance from the surround left and right
speakers. If there is no space behind the listening
position, set the speaker above the listening position
by placing it on a stand or hanging it from the
ceiling. To prevent speaker damage or injury in case
the speaker falls, make sure that it is properly fixed
in place.
* Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
Note
Do not place the center speaker further away from the
listening position than the front speakers.

Multi channel surround setup
(continued)
Tip
Internally, 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.
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
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
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 BASS parameter in the EQUALIZER
menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see
page 36.

Ш Surround back speaker distance
(SB X.X meter (XX feet))
Set the distance from your listening position to
the surround back speaker. Surround back
speaker distance should be set from a distance
equal to the front speaker distance (@ on page
19) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to
your listening position (@ on page 19).
Tip
The receiver allows you to input the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the 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 can not be set farther
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 enjoy 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 m (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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
Ш Surround speaker placement
(PL. [XXXXXXXXX])*
This parameter lets you specify the location
and height of your surround speakers for proper
implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound
surround modes. Refer to the illustration below.
° Select "SIDE/LOW" if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section @
and Q.
* Select “SIDE/HIGH” if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section @
and Q.
° Select *BEHD/LOW"' if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section @
and Q.
° Select “BEHD/HIGH” if the location of your
surround speakers corresponds to section @
and Q.
* These parameters are not available when
“Surround speaker size (SURR SP [XXXXX])" is
set to “NO”.
Tip
The surround speaker placement parameter is
designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes with virtual elements.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker
placement is not as critical as other modes. All modes
with virtual elements were designed under the
premise that the surround speaker 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 towards the listener from the
immediate left and right of the listening position, the
sound fields with virtual elements will not be
effective unless the surround speaker position
parameter is set to “SIDE/LOW” or “SIDE/HIGH”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using “BEHD/HIGH” if 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 “Surround speaker placement” explanation, we
recommend that you playback multi channel surround
encoded software and listen to the effect each setting
has on your listening environment. Choose 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/LOW” or
“BEHD/HIGH” and then use the speaker distance
parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain
proper balance.

* Virtual Multi Dimension
Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers
surrounding the listener from a single pair of
actual surround speakers.
* Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come
from inside the image reflected on the movie
screen. This element creates the same
sensation in your listening room by shifting
the sound of the front speakers "into" the
screen.
* Cinema Studio Reverberation
Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a
movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode
which operates these 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.

functions, such as “CD Synchro Dubbing”
on cassette decks, that require CONTROL
A1II connections. For detailed information
regarding specific operations, be sure to
also refer to the Operating Instructions
supplied with your component(s).
The CONTROL А1П Control System was
designed to simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony
components. CONTROL А1П connections
provide a path for the transmission of control
signals which enable automatic operation and
control features usually associated with
integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL А1П connections
between a Sony CD player, amplifier
(receiver), MD deck and cassette deck provide
automatic function selection and synchronized
recording.
In the future, the CONTROL А1П connection
will work as a multifunction bus allowing you
to control various functions for each
component.
Notes
* The CONTROL АШ Control System is designed to
maintain upward compatibility as the Control
System is upgraded to handle new functions. In this
case, however, older components will not be
compatible with the new functions.
* Do not operate a 2 way remote control unit when
the CONTROL А1П jacks are connected via a PC
interface kit to a personal computer running “MD
Editor" or similar application. Also, do not operate
the connected component in a manner contrary to
the functions of the application, as this may cause
the application to operate incorrectly.
CONTROL А1П and CONTROL A1
compatibility
The CONTROL А1 control system has been
updated to the CONTROL АШ which is the
standard system in the Sony 300 disc CD changer
and other recent Sony components. Components
with CONTROL А1 jacks are compatible with
components with CONTROL ALII, and can be
connected to each other. Basically, the majority of
the functions available with the CONTROL A1
control system will be available with the
CONTROL AIII control system.
However, when making connections between
components with CONTROL A1 jacks and
components with CONTROL А1П jacks, the
number of functions that can be controlled may be
limited depending on the component. For detailed
information, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the component(s).
Connections
Connect monaural mini-plug cords in series to
the CONTROL А1П jacks on the back of each
component. You can connect up to 10
CONTROL А1П compatible components in
any order. However, you can connect only one
of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1
MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver).
(You may be able to connect more than one CD
player or MD deck, depending on the model.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the respective component for details.)
Example
Amplifier CD MD Tape Other
(Receiver) player deck deck component
In the CONTROL А1П control system, the
control signals flow both ways, so there is no
distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a
component has more than one CONTROL АШ
jack, you can use either one, or connect
different components to each jack.

On CONTROL A1 jacks and
connections
It is possible to make connections between
CONTROL A1 and CONTROL А1П jacks.
For details regarding particular connections or
set up options, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the component(s).
About the connecting cord
Some CONTROL A1 compatible components
are supplied with a connecting cord as an
accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord
for your connection.
When using a commercially available cord, use
a monaural mini-plug cord less than 2 meters
long, with no resistance (such as the Sony
RK-G69HQ).
Basic Functions
The CONTROL А1П functions will operate as
long as the component you want to operate is
turned on, even if all of the other connected
components are not turned on.
Automatic function selection
When you connect a CONTROL АШ
compatible Sony amplifier (or receiver) to
other Sony components using monaural mini-
plug cords, the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches
to the correct input when you press the play
button on one of the connected components.
Notes
* You must connect a CONTROL A1 compatible
amplifier (receiver) using a monaural mini-plug
cord in order to take advantage of the automatic
function selection feature.
This function only works when the components are
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs
according to the names on the function buttons.
Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of
the function buttons. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
When recording, do not play any components other
than the recording source. It will cause the
automatic function selection to operate.
Synchronized recording
This function lets you conduct synchronized
recording between the selected source and
recorder components.
1 Set the function selector on the
amplifier (or receiver) to the source
component.
2 Set the source component to pause
mode (make sure both the P> and II
indicators light together).
3 Set the recorder component to the
REC-PAUSE mode.
4 Press PAUSE on the recorder
component.
The source component is released from
the pause mode, and recording begins
shortly thereafter.
When playback ends from the source
component, recording stops.
Notes
* Do not set more than one component to the pause
mode.
* Certain recorder components may be equipped with
a special synchronized recording function that uses
the CONTROL АШ Control System, such as
“CD Synchro Dubbing”. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the recorder
component.
