WARNING

To prevent fire or shock

hazard, do not expose

the unit to rain or

moisture.

To avoid electrical shock,

do not open the cabinet.

Refer servicing to

qualified personnel only.

Do not install the

appliance in a confined

space, such as a bookcase

or built-in cabinet.

Precautions

On safety

• Should any solid object or liquid fall

into the cabinet, unplug the amplifier

and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it any

further.

On power sources

• Before operating the amplifier, 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 amplifier.

• The amplifier is not disconnected

from the AC power source as long as

it is connected to the wall outlet, even

if the amplifier itself has been turned

off.

• If you are not going to use the

amplifier for a long time, be sure to

disconnect the amplifier from the

wall outlet. To disconnect the AC

power cord, grasp the plug itself;

never pull the cord.

• 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.

• AC power cord must be changed only

at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the amplifier in a location with

adequate ventilation to prevent heat

buildup and prolong the life of the

amplifier.

• Do not place the amplifier 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.

On operation

• Before connecting other components,

be sure to turn off and unplug the

amplifier.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls

with a soft cloth slightly moistened

with a mild detergent solution. Do

not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder or solvent such as

alcohol or benzine.

If you have any question or problem

concerning your amplifier, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Speaker System Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to

the amplifier. Although front (left and right) speakers

are required, center and rear speakers are optional.

Adding center and rear speakers will enhance the

surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will

increase bass response.

Speaker placement

For the best possible surround sound, we recommend:

• The best quality speakers possible

• Front, center, and rear speakers of equivalent size

and quality

• Positioning of speakers at the same distance from the

listening position (A).

The center speaker, however, may be moved closer,

but not beyond the straight line connecting the two

front speakers (B). The rear speakers may also be

closer to listening position than the front speakers (C),

to suit the configuration of your room. If the surround

effect is still inadequate, adjust the CENTER DELAY

and REAR DELAY parameters (see page 16).

C C

45°

90°

20°

Notes

• Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from

the listening position than the front speakers.

• When mounting the rear speakers on side walls

perpendicular to the listening position they should be

placed 60 - 90 cm above the listening position as shown

below.

Set SPEAKERS selector to

A+B

To drive

Speaker system A (connected

to the FRONT SPEAKERS A

terminals)

Speaker system B (connected

to the FRONT SPEAKERS B

terminals)

Both speaker systems A and B

(parallel connection)

Depending on the shape of your room (etc.), you may

wish to place the rear speakers behind you instead of

on the side walls. One advantage of this placement is

that you can use a pair of large floor standing speakers

matching your front speakers.

C C

Note

If you place the rear speakers behind you, be sure to check

the speaker location setting in the SPEAKER SETUP menu

when using VIRTUAL MULTI REAR and VIRTUAL REAR

SHIFT sound fields (see pages 16 and 19 for details).

Selecting the speaker system

If you connect only one set of front speakers, set the

SPEAKERS selector on the front panel to A. If you

connect two sets of front speakers, see the following:

Warning regarding the playback of DAT/MD sources

When playing DAT/MD sources through the amplifier,

do not play a DAT/MD that contains digital recordings

made from a DVD player whose digital output was set

to “DOLBY DIGITAL.” High volume noise will be

output which may damage the amplifier and your

speakers.

Notes

• This amplifier is compatible only with digital components

using 32, 44.1, or 48-kHz sampling frequencies and not

compatible with 96 kHz.

• Be sure to connect digital components (CD player, DAT/

MD deck, etc.) to the analog jacks as well as the digital

jacks in order to do analog recording.
