Getting Started
1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel
speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like
multi channel surround sound, be sure to
connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers)
and a subwoofer (5.1 channel).
You can place your speakers as shown below.
AFront speaker (left)
BFront speaker (right)
CCenter speaker
DSurround speaker (left)
ESurround speaker (right)
FSubwoofer
HT-SF360 only
HT-SS360 only
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional
signals, you can place it wherever you want.
Getting Started
14
GB
Before you install the speaker and subwoofer,
be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to
prevent vibration or movement as shown in the
illustration below.
Example of HT-SS360 front
speaker
Attach the supplied foot pad to
the below speakers
For greater flexibility in positioning the
speakers, you are recommended to use the
speaker stand below.
You can install your speakers on the wall.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied)
that are suitable for the hook on
the back of each speaker. See
the illustrations below.
2 Fasten the screws to the wall.
The screws should protrude
5 to 7 mm.

3 Hang the speakers on the
screws.
Notes
Use screws that are suitable for the wall material
and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially
fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and
fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.
Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the
wall material or screws to be used.
Sony is not responsible for accident or damage
caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural
calamity, etc.
For HT-SF360, if you install the speakers on the
wall, you do not need to attach the supplied
speaker stand.
2: Connecting the
speakers
Before connecting the cords, be sure to
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

the jacks of your components.
Before connecting the cords, be sure to
disconnect the AC power cord.
Notes
Be sure to turn on the receiver when the video and
audio signals of a playback component are being
output to a TV via the receiver. Unless the power is
turned on, neither video nor audio signals will be
transmitted.
When connecting optical digital cords, insert the

Getting Started
HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-
Definition Multimedia Interface. It is an
interface which transmits video and audio
signals in digital format.
Sony recommends that you connect
components to the receiver using an HDMI
cable.
With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high
quality sound and high quality images.
However, it is necessary to connect
the audio output of the TV to the
audio input of the receiver using an
optical cord to listen to the TV multi
channel surround sound
broadcasting from the receiver.
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync
compatible components using HDMI cables,
““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes
operations simpler (page 45).
HDMI features
A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI
can be output from the speakers connected to
the receiver. This signal supports Dolby
Digital, DTS and Linear PCM.
This receiver supports xvYCC transmission.
This receiver supports the Control for HDMI
function. For details, see “Using “BRAVIA”
Sync features” (page 45).

If you connect a DVD player, be sure to change the
factory setting of the DVD button on the remote so
that you can use the button to control your DVD
player. For details, see “Changing the input button
assignments” (page 60).

Notes on HDMI connections
An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack
is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any
other audio jacks.
Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can
only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.
The multi/stereo area audio signals of a
Super Audio CD are not output.
Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number of channels
or the audio format of the audio output
signals from the playback component is
switched.
When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM
only with an HDMI connection.
Set the image resolution of the playback
component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when
you output 96 kHz multi channel sound over
an HDMI connection.
You may need to make certain settings on
the image resolution of the player before you
can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer
to the operating instructions of the player.
Refer to the operating instructions of each
component connected for details.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect an
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output.
The following illustration shows how to
connect video components such as DVD
player, DVD recorder, VCR, etc.
It is not necessary to connect all the cords.
Connect audio and video cords according to
the jacks of your components.
