When placing surround speakers behind you (wide room)
The setting for Micro Satellite Speakers (MICRO SP.) has been programmed to optimize the sound balance. If you use Sonys Micro Satellite Speakers, select MICRO SP.

Caution

When you use Micro Satellite Speakers and the speaker size is set to LARGE, you may not obtain the correct soundstage. The speaker may also be damaged at high volume position. If you use normal speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select SMALL to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to SMALL, the center and surround speakers are also automatically set to SMALL (unless previously set to NO). When the sub woofer is set to NO, the front speakers are automatically set to LARGE and you cannot change the setting. x Center speaker size ( XXXXX) If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select LARGE.

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select SMALL to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to LARGE) or sub woofer.*1 If you do not connect a center speaker, select NO. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.*2
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 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 TONE menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page 25.

After turning on the component you selected, select the component and play the program source.
After selecting VCR or DVD player, turn on the TV and set the TVs video input to match the component you selected.
You can also use INPUT SELECTOR on the receiver to select the component.

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receivers preprogrammed sound fields. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can also customize the sound fields to obtain the sound you want by changing the surround parameter. To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the number and location of your speakers. See Multi channel surround setup starting from page 14 to set the speaker parameters before enjoying surround sound.
Enjoying stereo sound in multi channel (Dolby Pro Logic II)

This mode automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, DTS, or standard 2 channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects (e.g. reverberation). However, if there are no low frequency signals (Dolby Digital LFE, etc.) it will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer.

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.
About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound) D S C
Using only the front speakers (2 Channels Stereo)
Press SOUND FIELD +/ repeatedly to select 2CH ST.
In collaboration with Sony Pictures Entertainment, Sony measured the sound environment of their studios and integrated the data of the measurement and Sonys own DSP (Digital Signal Processor) technology to develop Digital Cinema Sound. In a home theater, Digital Cinema Sound simulates an ideal movie theater sound environment based on the preference of the movie director.
x C.ST.EX AC (Cinema Studio EX AC) D S C C.ST.EX A reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Cary Grant Theater cinema production studio. This is a standard mode, great for watching most any type of movie. C.ST.EX B reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Kim Novak Theater cinema production studio. This mode is ideal for watching science-fiction or action movies with lots of sound effects. C.ST.EX C reproduces the sound characteristics of the Sony Pictures Entertainment scoring stage. This mode is ideal for watching musicals or classic films where music is featured in the soundtrack.

This mode outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard 2 channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to 2 channel.
No sound is output from the sub woofer when 2CH ST. is selected. To listen to 2 channel (stereo) sources using the front left and right speakers and a sub woofer, press A.F.D. to select A.F.D. AUTO. When you select Micro Satellite Speaker (page 14), internal sound processor will automatically redirect bass sound to subwoofer. If you want to listen to two channel (stereo) sources under this setting, we recommend that you choose A.F.D. AUTO mode so that you can take advantage of your sub woofer to obtain the correct bass signal.

About Cinema Studio EX

x HALL
Reproduces the acoustics of a rectangular concert hall. Cinema Studio EX consists of the following three elements. 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.

x JAZZ (Jazz Club)

Reproduces the acoustics of a jazz club.

x CONCERT (Live Concert)

Reproduces the acoustics of a 300-seat live house.
To turn the surround effect off
Press A.F.D. to select A.F.D. AUTO or press SOUND FIELD +/ repeatedly to select 2CH ST.
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.
The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected for each program source (Sound Field Link). Whenever you select a program source, the sound field that was last applied is automatically applied again. For example, if you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, change to a different program source, then return to DVD, HALL will be applied again. You can identify the encoding format of DVD software, etc. by looking at the logo on the package. : Dolby Digital discs : Dolby Surround encoded programs : DTS Digital Surround encoded programs

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.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
This speaker system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed.

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 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. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again.
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the receiver.
