LEAKAGE

The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microamperes). Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods. 1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers instructions to use these instruments. 2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245 digital multimeter is suitable for this job. 3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The limit indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOM that is suitable. Nearly all battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

2000 Sony Corporation

WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

You are cautioned that any changes or modification not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

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.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call CATV system installers attention to Article 82040 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. ENERGY STAR is a U.S. registered mark. As an ENERGY STAR partner, Sony Corporation has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

On power sources

Before operating the receiver, 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 unit 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. One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

z About the rear speaker position (SIDE, and BEHIND)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound modes in the VIRTUAL sound fields. With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as critical as other modes. All of the modes in the VIRTUAL sound fields were designed under the premise that the rear speaker would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the rear speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the VIRTUAL sound fields will not be effective unless the rear speaker position parameter is set to SIDE. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using BEHIND 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 Rear speaker position explanation, we recommend that you play back 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 rear speakers and the sound from the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select BEHIND and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
z About speaker distances
This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can not be set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the rear speakers cannot be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy the 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 farther away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 3~6 feet (1~2 m) 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 rear speakers are too close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage. (1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.) Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

Function buttons

z When setting the volume levels for each speaker
Lets assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make further adjustments while listening to playback of actual software. This is because most software contains center and rear channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front channels. When you actually play back software recorded in multi channel surround, you will notice that increasing the center and rear speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB, and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better results. In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.
Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver. Press a function button to select a component (program source) that you connected (e.g., CD player or tape deck). Turn on the component and start playing it. Rotate MASTER VOLUME to turn up the volume.
If you do not obtain normal sound output after performing this procedure, look for the reason in the following checklist and take the appropriate measures to correct the problem. There is no sound no matter which component is selected. , Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on. , Check that the volume level on the display is not set to VOL MIN by turning the MASTER VOLUME. , Check that the SPEAKERS selector is not set to OFF or to a position for front speakers that are not connected to the receiver (see 7 SPEAKERS selector on page 23). (STR-DE545 and STR-SE501 only) , Check that all speaker cords are connected correctly. , Press the MUTING button to turn off the indicator.
Theres no sound from a specific component. , Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component. , Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component.

In this case, sound is output from the rear speakers, but output channel indicators for the rear speakers do not light.

Customizing Sound Fields

By adjusting the surround parameters and the tone characteristics of the front speakers, you can customize the sound fields to suit your particular listening situation. Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored in memory indefinitely (unless the receiver is unplugged for about two weeks). You can change a customized sound field any time by making new adjustments to the parameters. See the table on page 36 for the parameters available in each sound field. Wall type (WALL) Initial setting : midpoint When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard wall is highly reflective and does not significantly affect the frequency response of the reflected sound. This parameter lets you control the level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a neutral wall (made of wood). Reverberation (REVB.) Initial setting : midpoint Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected (reverberated) many times between the left and right walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more time to bounce from one surface to another than in a smaller room. This parameter lets you control the spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically larger (L) or smaller (S) room. The reverberation can be adjusted from REVB. S. 1 ~ REVB. S. 8 (short) to REVB. L. 1 ~ REVB. L. 8 (long) in 17 steps. The midpoint REVB. MID designates a standard room with no adjustment.

z About the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. STD is standard compression, but because many sources have only light compression, you may not notice much difference when using 0.1~0.9. Therefore, we recommend using the MAX setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and it provides a very natural compression.
Turn the jog dial to select the setting you want. The setting is stored automatically. You can select a tone level of -6 dB to +6 dB in 2 dB steps. Press TONE so that the TONE indicator lights up.
z You can turn off the tone without erasing it
The tone settings are stored separately for each sound field. Press the TONE button to turn the TONE indicator off.
Resetting customized sound fields to the factory settings
If the power is on, press ?/1 to turn off the power. Hold down MODE and press ?/1. SUR CLR appears in the display and all sound fields are reset at once.
