Step 2: Connecting the System
For connecting the system, read the information on the following pages. Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made.
When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connecting the speakers

The connector of the speaker cords and the color tube are color-coded depending on the type of speaker. Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKER jacks of the unit. Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #. Do not catch the speaker cord insulation (rubber covering) in the speaker terminals.
To connect speaker cords to the unit
When connecting to the unit, insert the connector until it clicks.

About speaker output

The table below describes the options when you connect all the speakers to the unit and you set [SPEAKER FORMATION] to [STANDARD] (page 94). The default setting is A.F.D. STD (when connecting the headphones to the unit or surround amplifier, the default setting is HP 2CH).
Sound from Surround effect Effect

Depending on the source.

A.F.D. STD
(AUTO FORMAT DIRECT STANDARD)
The system discriminates the sound format of the source and presents sound as it was recorded/encoded. 2 channel source: The system outputs 2 channel sound from the front and surround speakers by assigning the 2 channel sound to the surround left and right channels. Multi-channel source: The system outputs sound from the speakers depending on the number of channels of the source. 2 channel source: The system simulates surround sound from 2 channel sources and outputs sound from all the speakers. PRO LOGIC performs Dolby Pro Logic decoding. PLII MOVIE performs Dolby Pro Logic II movie mode decoding. PLII MUSIC performs Dolby Pro Logic II music mode decoding. Multi-channel source: The system outputs sound from the speakers depending on the number of channels of the source. The system outputs the sound from the front speakers and subwoofer regardless of sound format or number of channels. Multi-channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channels.

[JPEG RESOLUTION] is effective only when you set [TV TYPE] in [VIDEO SETUP] to [16:9], and you set [HDMI RESOLUTION] in [HDMI SETUP] to other than [720 480p] or [720 480/576p]. You can select [(1920 1080i) HD ] or [(1920 1080i) HD] only when you set [HDMI RESOLUTION] in [HDMI SETUP] to [1920 1080i].

MOVIE: The system provides the sound for movies. The MOVIE indicator lights up. MUSIC: The system provides the sound for music. The MUSIC indicator lights up.
To receive a Dolby Digital signal, you need to connect a TV or other component to the unit with an optical or coaxial digital cord (page 26) and set the digital output mode of the TV or other component to Dolby Digital.

No sound or only a very lowlevel sound is heard from the surround speakers.
There is no sound from the DIGITAL IN COAXIAL/ OPTICAL jack.

Operation

Radio stations cannot be tuned in.
Check that the antenna (aerial) is connected securely. Adjust the antenna (aerial) or connect an external antenna (aerial) if necessary. The signal strength of the stations is too weak (when tuning in with automatic tuning). Use direct tuning. No stations have been preset or the preset stations have been cleared (when tuning by scanning preset stations). Preset the stations (page 70). There are obstacles between the remote and the unit. The distance between the remote and the unit is too far. The remote is not pointed at the remote sensor on the unit. The batteries in the remote are weak. There is no disc inserted. The disc is upside down. Insert the disc with the playback side facing down. The disc is skewed on the disc tray. The system cannot play CD-ROMs, etc. (page 6). The region code on the DVD does not match the system. Moisture has condensed inside the unit and may cause damage to the lenses. Remove the disc and leave the unit turned on for about half an hour. The DATA CD is not recorded in ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, or Joliet. The DATA DVD is not recorded in UDF (Universal Disk Format). The MP3 file does not have the extension.mp3. The data is not formatted in MP3 even though it has the extension.mp3. The data is not MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 data. The system cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format. Check the [MEDIA] setting (page 57).
The remote does not function.

It does not fit the TV screen (those images are reduced). Check the [MEDIA] setting (page 57).

Self-diagnosis Function

(When letters/numbers appear in the display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated to prevent the system from malfunctioning, a 5character service number (e.g., C 13 50) with a combination of a letter and 4 digits appears on the TV screen or front panel display. In this case, check the following table.

C:13:50

When the version number appears on the TV screen
When you turn on the system, the version number [VER.X.XX] (X is a number) may appear on the TV screen. Although this is not a malfunction and for Sony service use only, normal system operation will not be possible. Turn off the system, and then turn on the system again to operate.
