Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
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 20.
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.
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
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 receivers memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
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 page 47. See pages 1520 for speaker settings and pages 3536 for other settings.
To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (page 20).
Multi channel surround setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) 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 (A). You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.
When placing surround speakers to your side (long room)

Clearing the receivers memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or when you want to clear the receivers memory, do the following.

1 Turn off the receiver. 2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
INITIAL appears in the display. The following are reset to their factory settings. All settings in the SET UP, LEVEL and TONE menus. The sound field memorized for each function and preset station. All sound field parameters. All preset stations. All index names for input selectors and preset stations. The master volume is set to VOL MIN.

When placing surround speakers behind you (wide room)
The setting for Micro Satellite Speaker (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.

To select MICRO SP., turn off the power, then turn on again while pressing MAIN MENU. (To reset to NORM. SP., do the same procedure.) When you select MICRO SP., the speaker size and sub woofer selection has been configurated as follows:

x Front speaker distance ( X.X m (XX ft.))
Set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A on page 15).
x Center speaker distance ( m (XX ft.))
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 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 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!

DIST. X.X

Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position (B on page 15).
x Surround speaker distance (

DIST. X.X m (XX ft.))

Set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position (C on page 15).
x Surround speaker placement (

PL. XXXX)*

This parameter lets you specify the height of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound surround modes. Refer to the illustration below.

4 Start playing.

If you do not obtain normal sound output after performing this procedure, see Troubleshooting on page 41 and take the appropriate measures to correct the problem.
3 Adjust the speaker level and balance
using the LEVEL menu so that the level of the test tone sounds the same from each speaker.
For details on the LEVEL menu, see page 27. While adjusting, the test tone is output from the speaker whose adjustment is performed.
4 Press TEST TONE again to turn off the

test tone.

You can adjust the level of all speakers at the same time. Press MASTER VOL +/ on the remote or turn MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
(STR-DE595 only) The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is set to MULTI CH IN. The adjusted value are shown in the display during adjustment. Although these adjustments can also be made via the front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we recommend you follow the procedure described above and adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the remote.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
Displaying RDS information
While receiving an RDS station, press DISPLAY.

This receiver also allows you to use RDS (Radio Data System), which enables radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. Note that RDS is operable only for FM stations.*
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS services in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.
Each time you press the button, RDS information on the display changes cyclically as follows: Program Station name t Frequency t Program Type indicationa) t Radio Text indicationb) t Current Time indication (in 24hour system) t Sound field currently applied

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM band using direct tuning (page 29), automatic tuning (page 30), or preset tuning (page 30).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the RDS indicator lights up and the program station name normally appears in the display.
If there is an emergency announcement by government authorities, ALARM flashes in the display. When the message consists of 9 characters or more, the message scrolls across the display. If a station does not provide a particular RDS service, NO XXXX (such as NO TEXT) appears in the display.
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
