Tip
Note on video component
hookups
When using the S-video jacks instead of the video
jacks, your monitor must also be connected via an
S-video jack. S-video signals are on a separate bus
from the video signals and will not be output through
the video jacks.
You can connect your TV’s audio output jacks
to the TV/SAT AUDIO IN jacks on the
receiver and apply sound effects to the audio
from the TV. In this case, do not connect the
TV’s video output jack to the TV/SAT VIDEO
IN jack on the receiver. If you are connecting a
separate TV tuner (or satellite tuner), connect
both the audio and video output jacks to the
receiver as shown above.

Digital component hookups
Connect the digital output jacks of your DVD player and satellite tuner (etc.) to the receiver’s digital
input jacks to bring the multi channel surround sound of a movie theater into your home. To fully
enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a
center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound, you will also need a
surround back speaker. You can also connect an LD player with an RF OUT jack via an RF
demodulator, like the Sony MOD-RF1 (not supplied).
Note
You cannot connect an LD player’s DOLBY DIGITAL RF OUT jack directly to this unit’s digital input jacks.
You must first convert the RF signal to either an optical or coaxial digital signal. For details, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 44.

Multi channel input hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel
input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other
than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you
can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel
decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel
decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround
speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound, you
will also need a surround back speaker. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD
player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.
Notes
• When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the
DVD player or multi channel decoder.
• See page 16 for details on speaker system hookup.
• When you set the center and surround back speakers to use as the surround back right and left speakers in the
speaker settings, the signal input at the MULTI CH IN CENTER jack is directly output from the surround back
right speaker and the signal input at the MULTI CH IN SURROUND BACK jack is directly output from the
surround back left speaker.
For details about the speaker settings, refer to “Multi channel surround setup” on page 17.

Tip
You can connect an active sub woofer to either of the
two jacks. The remaining jack can be used to connect
a second active sub woofer.
Once you have hooked up the speakers and
turned on the power, clear the receiver’s
memory. Then specify the speaker parameters
(size, position, etc.) and perform any other
initial setup operations necessary for your
system.
2ND ROOM hookup
You can use the center and surround back
speakers as right and left speakers in the 2nd
room (See page 25). Make sure to connect
correctly as indicated on the rear panel.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up
while outputting the sound), check the connection
(see page 22).
Speaker impedance
To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front,
center, surround, and surround back speakers
with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher,
and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to
“8Ω”. Check the operating instructions
supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure
of their impedance. (This information is
usually printed on a label on the back of the
speaker.)
Clearing the receiver’s
memory
Before using your receiver for the first time, or
when you want to clear the receiver’s memory,
do the following.
This procedure is not necessary if the
demonstration activates when you turn on the
power.
You may connect a pair of speakers with a
nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to
all of the speaker terminals. However, even if
one speaker within this range is connected, set
the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4Ω”.
1 Turn off the receiver.
2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.
The demonstration starts (see page 3) and
all of the following items are reset or
cleared:
Note
Be sure to turn the power off when setting the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.
• All preset stations are reset or cleared.
• All sound field parameters are reset to
their factory settings.
• All index names (of preset stations and
program sources) are cleared.
• All SET UP parameters are reset to
their factory settings.
• The sound field memorized for each
program source and preset stations are
cleared.
• The master volume is set to –∞ dB.

For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
Tip
When setting up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening position.
It is recommended to place the speaker at an equal
distance from the surround left and right speakers. If
there is no space behind the listening position, set the
speaker above the listening position by placing it on a
stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls,
make sure that it is properly fixed in place.
However, the receiver lets you to place the
center speaker up to 5 feet closer (B), the
surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) and
the surround back speakers up to 15 feet closer
(D) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40
feet from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).

If you do not connect a sub woofer, select

Tip
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each
speaker determine whether or not the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it best not to cut them, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can
set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass
frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if
you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
•
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off
frequency as high as possible.
x Front speaker distance (FRONT)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the front speakers (A on page 17).

5 feet closer to your listening position (B on
page 17). When this range is exceeded, the
display blinks. If you make the setting while
the display blinks, you cannot fully enjoy the
surround effect.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough bass,
you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. To
adjust the equalizer, see page 34.

Tip
Multi channel surround setup
(continued)
The receiver allows you to input the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
5 feet closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround and surround back speakers
can not be set farther away from the listening position
than the front speakers. And they can be no more than
15 feet closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther
away.
x Surround speaker distance
(SURROUND)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the surround speakers. Surround speaker
distance should be set from a distance equal to
the front speaker distance (A on page 17) to a
distance 15 feet closer to your listening
position (C on page 17). When this range is
exceeded, the display blinks. If you make the
setting while the display blinks, you cannot
fully enjoy the surround effect.
x Surround back speaker distance
For example, setting the center speaker distance
3~6 feet closer than the actual speaker position will
create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the
screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround
effect because the surround speakers are too close,
setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter)
than the actual distance will create a larger sound
stage.
(SURR BACK)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the surround back speaker(s). Surround back
speaker distance should be set from a distance
equal to the front speaker distance (A on page
19) to a distance 15 feet closer to your listening
position (D on page 17). When this range is
exceeded, the display blinks. If you make the
setting while the display blinks, you cannot
fully enjoy the surround effect.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
x Sub woofer phase polarity (S.W
PHASE)
x Sub woofer distance (SUB WOOFER)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the sub woofer.
Set the sub woofer phase polarity. There is
usually no problem when the sub woofer phase
polarity is set to “NORMAL”. However,
depending on the type of front speakers, the
position of the sub woofer, and the cut-off
frequency of the sub woofer, setting the phase
polarity to “REVERSE” may produce better
bass. Besides bass reproduction, the richness
and tightness of the overall sound may also be
affected. While listening from the main
listening position, select the setting that best
suits your environment.

This parameter lets you specify the location of

implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound
surround modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound
fields. Refer to the illustration below.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker
position is not as critical as other modes. All of the
modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields were
designed under the premise that the surround speaker
would be located behind the listening position, but
presentation remains fairly consistent even with the
surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle.
However, if the speakers are pointing toward the
listener from the immediate left and right of the
listening position, the “VIRTUAL” sound fields will
not be effective unless the surround speaker position
parameter is set to “SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain
better results using “BEHIND” or “MIDDLE” if your
speakers are located high above the listening position,
even if they are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary
to the “Surround speaker position” explanation, we
recommend that you playback multi channel surround
encoded software and listen to the effect each setting
has on your listening environment. Choose the setting
that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that
best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between
the surround sound from the surround speakers and
the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure
which sounds best, select “BEHIND” and then use
the speaker distance parameter and speaker level
adjustments to obtain proper balance.

Enjoying Surround Sound
About DCS (Digital Cinema Sound)
You can take advantage of surround sound
simply by selecting one of the receiver’s pre-
programmed sound fields. They bring the
exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters
and concert halls into your home. You can also
customize the sound fields to obtain the sound
you want by changing the various surround
parameters.
To fully enjoy surround sound, you must
register the number and location of you
speakers. See “Multi channel surround setup”
starting from page 17 to set the speaker
parameters before enjoying surround sound.
The sound fields with DCS marks use DCS
technology. When these sound fields are
selected, “Digital Cinema Sound” indicator in
the display lights up.
DCS is the concept name of the surround
technology for home theater developed by
Sony. DCS uses the DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) technology to reproduce the sound
characteristic of an actual cinema cutting studio
in Hollywood.

About 6.1 channel matrix decoding
Some movies released after summer 1999 added a
new channel to the preexisting 5.1 channels. The new
channel added speakers behind the listening position.
In the movie theaters, these speakers are placed on the
rear wall, on each side of the projection room’s
window.
The 6.1 channel system used in the movie theaters is
called Dolby Surround EX system. However, to
record on movie film, this 6.1 channel is converted to
5.1 channel using matrix encoding, and the same
number of channels are used as Dolby Digital and
DTS recordings. Recordings on DVD also use the
same signals.
A lot of movie theaters screen movies with matrix
encoded 5.1 channel signals and this is not unnatural
to the ears. However, when a matrix decoder is used
to create surround back speaker signals it simulates
the same 6.1 channel sound as Dolby Surround EX
system in the movie theaters.
This unit is equipped with a matrix decoder allowing
for 6.1 channel sound production.

supplied with the component(s).
instructions supplied with the component(s).
About the connecting cord
Connections
Some CONTROL A1 compatible components
are supplied with a connecting cord as an
accessory. In this case, use the connecting cord
for your connection.
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cords in
series to the CONTROL A1 jacks on the
back of each component. You can connect up
to 10 CONTROL A1 compatible components
in any order. However, you can connect only
one of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD
player, 1 MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver).
When using a commercially available cord, use
a monaural (2P) mini-plug cord less than
2 meters long, with no resistance (like the Sony
RK-G69HG).
(You may be able to connect more than one CD
player or MD deck, depending on the model.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the respective component for details.)
Basic Functions
The CONTROL A1 functions will operate as
long as the component you want to operate is
turned on, even if all of the other connected
components are not turned on.
Example
Amplifier
(Receiver) player deck
CD
MD
Tape
deck
Other
component
In the CONTROL A1 control system, the
control signals flow both ways, so there is no
distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a
component has more than one CONTROL
A1 jack, you can use either one, or connect
different components to each jack.

Troubleshooting
Precautions
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Also, see “Checking the connections”
on page 22 to verify that the connections are
correct. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the unit, check that the operating
voltage is identical with your local power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate
at the rear of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the receiver itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long
time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord,
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
There is no sound no matter which component
is selected.
• Check that both the receiver and all components
are turned on.
• Check that the MASTER VOLUME control is
not set at –∞ dB.
• Check that the SPEAKERS switch is not set to
OFF (see page 24).
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet
only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• Check that all speaker cords are connected
correctly.
• Press MUTING to cancel the muting function.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the
qualified service shop.
There is no sound from a specific component.
• Check that the component is connected correctly

Although the unit heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this unit at
a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
• Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is
(are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the
receiver and the component.
There is no sound from one of the front
speakers.
On placement
• Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES
jack to verify that sound is output from the
headphones (see page 24).
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the receiver.
If only one channel is output from the
headphones, the component may not be
connected to the receiver correctly. Check that
all the cords are fully inserted into the jacks on
both the receiver and the component.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
If both channels are output from the headphones,
the front speaker may not be connected to the
receiver correctly. Check the connection of the
front speaker which is not outputting any sound.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn
off and unplug the receiver.
