Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. Do not use a new battery with an old one. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you dont use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Before you get started

Turn off the power to all components before making any connections. Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise. When connecting an audio/video cable, be sure to match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on the components: Yellow (video) to Yellow; White (left, audio) to White; and Red (right, audio) to Red.

Antenna Hookups

Overview
This section describes how to connect AM and FM antennas to the receiver. If you want to receive radio broadcasts with the receiver, complete these connections first, then go to the following pages. For specific locations of the terminals, see the illustration below.

ANTENNA

To prevent noise pick-up, keep the AM loop antenna away from the unit and TV set.

Connecting a ground wire

To prevent hum, connect a ground wire (not supplied) to the y ground terminal. If youve connected an outdoor antenna, be sure to connect the ground for lightning protection.

Every time a station is received, the receiver stops scanning. To continue scanning, press the button again.
To receive other stations

Repeat Steps 3, 4 and 5.

Presetting Radio Stations
Youll most likely want to preset the receiver with the radio stations you listen to often so that you dont have to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A, B and C) and numbers (0-9). For example, you can store a station as preset number A1, B6, or C9.

Programming the Remote

The RM-P362 remote included with the STR-GA8ES and STR-GA7ES can control non-Sony components by learning the control signals from their remotes. Once this remote learns the other components signals, you can use these components as part of your system. Additionally, if you have any Sony components that fail to operate with this remote, use this programming function. This remote can learn signals only from other infrared wireless remotes. Before you program signals, make sure that the two remotes: Face straight at each other (see Step 3 below) Are placed at a distance of about 2 inches (5 cm) Are not moved during programming

LEARN indicator LEARN

On the other remote, select the function that the receivers remote is to learn and hold down its button until the LEARN indicator lights steadily. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to program other buttons. Note that each button can only learn one signal from another remote. Press LEARN. After the LEARN indicator turns off, you can control the other component with the programmed buttons. When you program the recording signal
While holding down the r button on the receivers remote and press the record button on the other remote.
If you cannot successfully program signals, check the following:
If the LEARN indicator does not light up at all, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries. If the LEARN indicator does not flash or light up in Step 3 or 4, there is interference. Clear the signal as described in Clearing the programmed signal below and program again from the beginning. The two remotes are placed too far apart. Make sure they are only 2 inches apart. If you dont proceed to the following steps within about 1 minute during Steps 2 and 3, the remote automatically exits learning mode. Start again from Step 2. If the memory in the remote has become full, (If you program signals of Sony components, you can store about 60 signals.) you can program a new signal on a previously programmed button, but the new signal will replace the previously programmed one.

Surround sound

Sound that consists of three elements: direct sound, early reflected sound (early reflections) and reverberative sound (reverberation). The acoustics where you hear the sound affect the way these three sound elements are heard. These sound elements are combined in such a way that you can actually feel the size and the type of a concert hall.
