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).

speaker label* at the rear panel of the speakers.

* The center speaker and subwoofer do not have the

character on the speaker label. For details on the

speaker type, see page 4.

3: Connecting the TV

You can watch the selected input image when

you connect the HDMI OUT jack to a TV.

It is not necessary to connect all the cords.

Connect audio and video cords according to

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

plugs straight in until they click into place.

• Do not bend or tie optical digital cords.

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).

a)

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).

b)

Connect at least one of the audio cords (B or C).

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.
