Main features of the receiver

Compatible with wired/wireless network, BLUETOOTH, and USB

connections

 Connect a Walkman, iPod/iPhone (AirPlay), computer, NAS, or USB device to the receiver to

play content on those devices or transmit music to BLUETOOTH headphones/speakers.

 Music services such as Spotify and Chromecast built-in are supported.

For details, see the Help Guide.

Compatible with the latest object-based audio formats

Dolby Atmos (page 22) and DTS:X are supported.

Compatible with high-definition playback of High- Resolution

Audio

 During network audio playback or content playback on a USB device, the receiver supports

High- Resolution Audio content at up to 5.6 MHz in the DSD format and at up to 192 kHz/24 bits

in the WAV, FLAC, and AIFF formats.

 Native playback of DSD files is also supported.

Compatible with high-definition 4K video formats*

 The receiver supports 4K HDR and HDCP 2.2, letting you enjoy high-definition video images

(page 31).

* You need to change the setting of [HDMI Signal Format] depending on the input video signal.

Automatically calibrating your viewing and listening environment

to create an ideal surround space using Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.

EX*)

 D.C.A.C. EX measures and calibrates the distance, angle, level, and frequency characteristics of

the speakers using the supplied stereo calibration microphone (page 38).

 The optimum sound is then produced by simulating ideal speaker positions and angles

(Speaker Relocation**).

Calibration functions for sound fields corresponding to various

speaker installation conditions

 Phantom Surround Back**: Allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect acoustically

equivalent to that of a 7-channel speaker system, using only a 5-channel speaker system, and

when using a 5.1.2-channel speaker system, it allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect

acoustically equivalent to that of a 7.1.2-channel speaker system.

 Front Surround: Allows you to enjoy virtual surround sound with only two front speakers

(page 26).

Compatible with a variety of connections and high-quality audio/video

formats

Functions for an optimum surround environment

7

GB

 In-Ceiling Speaker Mode**: Reproduces more natural sound by lowering the position of audio

output from speakers installed in the ceiling.

 Center Speaker Lift Up**: Reproduces natural sound that feels more authentic by lifting the

sound from the center speaker up to the height of the screen.

* Digital Cinema Auto Calibration EX

** For details, see the Help Guide.

Sound fields selectable by preference

You can select from a variety of sound fields according to speaker connections or input sources

(2ch Stereo, Direct, Auto Format Decoding, etc.) (page 44).

Upscaling of existing sound sources into higher resolutions with

the same quantity of information as High-Resolution Audio using

DSEE HX (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX)*

The receiver restores signals in the micro region of compressed sound sources by up-sampling

the sampling frequency and expanding the bit depth to the equivalent of a maximum of 192 kHz/

24 bits, letting you enjoy CDs and lossy compressed sound sources such as MP3 files in expressive

sound quality closer to the original.

High-definition BLUETOOTH music playback (LDAC)*

LDAC allows approximately three times more data to be transmitted than with the previous

BLUETOOTH A2DP-SBC (328 kbps, 44.1 kHz). The receiver supports wireless playback

(transmission/reception) of high-quality sound when speakers, headphones, a Walkman, or a

smartphone that supports LDAC are connected to the receiver via a BLUETOOTH connection.

Reproduction of authentic impact and realistic sense of immersion

in movies (Sound Optimizer)*

Sound Optimizer calibrates the disparity in acoustic frequency characteristic between movie

production and playback caused by different volume levels, reproducing the impact and

immersive surround effect that the movie's sound engineers intended even when it is played

back at low volume levels in a home.

* For details, see the Help Guide.

Compatible with "SongPal" and "SongPal Link"*

SongPal is a dedicated app for operating SongPal compatible audio devices manufactured by

Sony from a smartphone or tablet device. It lets you operate the receiver from the smartphone

or tablet device and use the SongPal Link function.

Equipped with an ARC-compatible HDMI jack

TV sound can be output from the receiver using only one HDMI cable (page 29).

 The multi-zone features let you output audio and video signals to another room.

* For details, see the Help Guide.

** You can enjoy the sound of the device that is connected to the receiver. The sound is delayed behind the

picture.

Connecting Speakers

This receiver allows you to connect up to 7.1-channel system.

The speaker layout diagram is a guide for the ideal speaker placement. You do not need to adjust

your speaker placement exactly the same as the diagram.

Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).

Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are

not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals.

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies.

If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input

signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.

If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.

How to connect speaker cables

Be sure to connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals of the speaker and this receiver.

Also, be sure to tightly twist the speaker wire strands and insert them securely into the speaker

terminals.

Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker cables

from touching each other.

Connect speaker cables properly with the polarities (+/–) matched between the receiver and the speakers.

Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.
