Getting Started

1: Installing speakers

This receiver allows you to use a 6.1 channel

system (6 speakers and one sub woofer).

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel

surround sound requires five speakers (two

front speakers, a center speaker, and two

surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1

channel).

You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of

DVD software recorded sound in the Surround

EX format if you connect one additional

surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see

“Using the surround back decoding mode” on

page 43).

Example of a 6.1 channel

speaker system configuration

AFront speaker (Left)

BFront speaker (Right)

CCenter speaker

DSurround speaker (Left)

ESurround speaker (Right)

FSurround back speaker

GSub woofer

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly

directional signals, you can place it wherever you

want.

Before you install the speakers and sub

woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads

to prevent vibration or movement as shown in

the illustration below.

For greater flexibility in positioning the

surround and surround back speakers, use the

optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker

stand (available only in certain countries).

Be sure to detach screw A from the speaker

and use it when you install the speaker to the

speaker stand. For details, refer to the

operating instructions supplied with the

speaker stand.

GB

You can install your surround and surround

back speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hook on

the back of each speaker as

shown in 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.

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.

The sound is output from the TV speaker only

when a playback component and this receiver,

as well as this receiver and the TV are

connected via a HDMI jack.

To output the sound from the supplied

speakers and to take advantage of the multi

channel surround sound, be sure to

– connect the digital audio jacks on the

playback component to the receiver.

– turn off or mute the TV’s volume.

If you connect a Blu-ray disc

player

• Be sure to change the factory setting of the

VIDEO 2 input button on the remote so that

you can use the button to control your Blu-

ray disc player. For details, see “Changing

button assignments” (page 64).

• You can also rename the VIDEO 2 input so

that it can be displayed on the receiver’s

display. For details, see “Naming inputs”

(page 62).

Notes on HDMI connections

• This receiver may not be able to transfer

video or audio signals with certain types of

components.

• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a

Super Audio CD are not output.

• Be sure to turn on the receiver when the

video and audio of a playback component

are being output to a TV via the receiver. If

the power supply of the receiver is not

turned on, neither video nor audio is

transmitted.

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit

length, etc.) transmitted from a HDMI jack

may be restricted 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.

• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can

only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.

The input video signals cannot be output

from the VIDEO OUT or MONITOR OUT

jacks.

• Refer to the operating instructions of each

connected component for details.

Notes on digital audio signals
