US
• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto
standby function, set it to off (deactivated).
Notes
• Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer
you are using, the setup distance value may be
different from the actual position.
• If you perform “Speaker Settings (Auto
Calibration)” using the Easy Setup, the
measurement results will be overwritten and saved
on the currently selected position (“Pos.1” is
selected as the factory default setting).
Tips
• Depending on the position of the subwoofer, the
measurement results for polarity may vary.
However, there will be no problems even if you
continue to use the receiver with that value.
• Depending on the speakers, “Out Phase” may
appear even if there is no problem with the speaker
connection. This is caused by the speaker
specifications, and there will no problems even if
you continue to use the speakers.
When you connect two
subwoofers to the receiver
If you cannot obtain measurement results of
the “Auto Calibration” function correctly,
depending on the environment, or you want to
make fine adjustments, you can set up the
subwoofers manually. For details, see
“Speaker Setup” in the Speaker Settings menu
(page 94).

About the effect type for HD-
D.C.S.
HD-D.C.S. has three different types:
Dynamic, Theater, and Studio. Each type has
different reflection and reverberation sound
mixture levels and is optimized to match a
listener’s room uniqueness, taste and mood.
x Dynamic
The “Dynamic” setting is suitable for an
environment which is reverberant but lacks a
spacious feeling (where sound absorption is
not sufficient). This setting emphasizes the
reflection of sound and reproduces the sound
of a large, classical movie theater. Thus, the
spacious feeling of a dubbing theater is
emphasized and a unique acoustic field is
created.
x Theater
Factory default setting. The “Theater” setting
is suitable for a general living room. This
setting reproduces the reverberation of sound
just like in a movie theater (dubbing theater).
It is most appropriate for watching content
recorded on a Blu-ray Disc when you want the
atmosphere of a movie theater.
x Studio
The “Studio” setting is suitable for a living
room with the appropriate sound equipment.
This setting reproduces the reverberation of
sound provided when a theatrical sound source
is remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume level
suitable for home use. The level of reflection
and reverberation of sound is kept to the
minimum. However, dialogues and surround
effects are reproduced vividly.

Precautions
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 receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• 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 (mains lead), 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 (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you
continuously use this receiver at a large
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably*. To avoid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
* The top of the cabinet may become too hot to touch.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
• 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.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with soft
dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
The receiver is turned off
automatically.
• “Auto Standby” is set to “On” (page 108).
• The sleep timer function is working
(page 85).
• “PROTECTOR” is working (page 128).
The receiver is turned on automatically.
• “Control for HDMI” is set to “On” or
“Pass Through” is set to “Off.” In this case,
the receiver may be turned on by operating
other equipment connected to it.
No picture and no sound are output, or
the picture and sound are corrupted.
• The receiver is placed near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck.
If the receiver is being used in
combination with a television, VCR, or
tape deck, and is placed too close to that
equipment, noise may result, and picture
quality may suffer. This is especially likely
when using an indoor antenna (aerial).
Therefore, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna (aerial).
The top of the receiver is hot.
• Phenomenon is specific to this amplifier.
This is not a malfunction. If “Control for
HDMI” or “Network Standby” is set to
“On,” or “Pass Through” is set to “On,” or
“Auto,” the power for zone 2 is turned on,
the top of the receiver may become hot
even while the receiver is in standby mode.
This condition occurs because current is
flowing in the internal circuits of the
receiver, and this is normal.
There is no picture or an unclear
picture appears on the TV screen or
monitor, regardless of type of picture.
• Select the appropriate input on the receiver
(page 48).
• Set your TV to the appropriate input mode.
• Move your TV away from the audio
equipment.
• Assign the component video input
correctly (page 82).
• The input signal should be same as input
when you are up-converting an input
signal with this receiver (page 19).
• Make sure that cables are correctly and
securely connected to equipment.
• Depending on the playback equipment,
equipment may need to be set up. Refer to
the operating instructions supplied with
the equipment.
Images appear later than the
associated sound is played.
• Depending on the equipment connected to
the HDMI jack, or the source played back,
images may appear later than the
associated sound. In this case, change the
setting of “A/V Sync” in the Audio
Settings menu (page 98).
Recording cannot be carried out.
• Check that the equipment is connected
correctly (page 28).
• Select the source equipment (page 48).
• Check the connection of the recording
deck according to the video signals you
want to record. Analog input signals
(composite video) can be output only from
the analog output jacks.
• Video input signals via the HDMI IN jacks
cannot be recorded.
• Copyright protection to prevent recording
is contained in the sources. In this case,
General
