1: Installing speakers

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).

Example of 5.1 channel speaker

system configuration

AFront speaker (Left)

BFront speaker (Right)

CCenter speaker

DSurround speaker (Left)

ESurround speaker (Right)

FSub 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

speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or

WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in

certain countries). Be sure to detach the screw

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.

Installing the speakers on a flat

surface

Installing the speakers on the

speaker stand

Getting Started

You can install your front and surround

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 to

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.

Notes

• When listening to a component connected to the

VIDEO 1 IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN/AUTO

CAL MIC jack on the front panel of this receiver,

sound may be distorted or interrupted. This is not a

malfunction and will depend on the connected

component.

• If the sound from the component connected to the

VIDEO 1 IN/PORTABLE AUDIO IN/AUTO

CAL MIC jack is very soft, you may increase the

volume level. However, before you select other

component, be sure to reduce the volume level to

avoid damaging your speaker.

Tip

You are recommended to use “PORTABLE” sound

field if the source is MP3 or other compressed

source.

HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-

Notes on HDMI connections

• 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 the 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.

• The multi/stereo area audio signals of a

Super Audio CD are not output.

• Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can

only be output from the HDMI OUT jack.

• Check the setup of the connected component

if an image is poor or the sound does not

come out of a component connected via the

HDMI cable.

• This receiver may not be able to transfer

video or audio signals with certain types of

components.

• Refer to the operating instructions of each

component connected for details.

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.

• 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

54).

• 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 53).

Tip

All the digital audio jacks are compatible with

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling

frequencies.
