Getting Started
1: Installing the speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel
system (7 speakers and one subwoofer).
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1
channel).
Example of a 5.1 channel
speaker system configuration

ESurround speaker (Right)
HSubwoofer
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) or two
surround back speakers (7.1 channel).

• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not
connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the
microphone.
• During the calibration, the sound that comes
out of the speakers is very loud. The volume
of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay
attention to the presence of children or to the
effect on your neighborhood.
• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet
environment to avoid the effect of noise and
get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between
the optimizer microphone and the speakers,
the calibration cannot be performed
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the
measurement area to avoid measurement
error.

Amplifier Operations
x D. RANGE (Dynamic range
compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you
want to watch movies at low volumes late at
night. Dynamic range compression is possible
with Dolby Digital sources only.
•COMP. MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
•COMP. STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
•COMP. AUTO
The dynamic range is compressed
automatically.
• COMP. OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“COMP. STD” is the standard setting, but it only
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “COMP. MAX” setting. This greatly
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a
very natural compression.
Settings for the speakers
(SPEAKER menu)
You can use the SPEAKER menu to set the
size and distance of the speakers connected to
this receiver.
Select “SPEAKER” in the amplifier menus.
For details on adjusting the parameters, see
“Navigating through menus” (page 45) and
“Overview of the menus” (page 46).
SPEAKER menu parameters
x SP PATTERN (Speaker pattern)
Lets you set the number of the speakers
connected to this receiver. It should be
synchronize with the subwoofer, front
speakers, center speaker, surround speakers
and surround back speakers settings. For
details, see “Selecting a speaker pattern” (page
20).
x FRT SP (Front speakers)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if you have selected a
speaker pattern without subwoofer, the front
speakers are automatically set to “LARGE”.
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the
subwoofer. When the front speakers are set
to “SMALL”, the center and surround
speakers are also automatically set to
“SMALL”.
continued
52
US
x CNT SP (Center speaker)
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the
center speaker to “LARGE”.
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or
subwoofer.
x SUR SP (Surround speakers)
The surround back speakers will be set to the
same setting.
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the
surround speakers to “LARGE”.
•SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
surround channel bass frequencies from the
subwoofer or other speaker that is set to
“LARGE”.
Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether 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 subwoofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is 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”.
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. For details, see page 55.
x SB ASSIGN (Surround back
speaker assign)
• SPK B
If you connect an additional front speaker
system to the SPEAKERS SURROUND
BACK/BI-AMP/FRONT B terminals, select
“SPK B”.
•BI-AMP
If you connect front speakers to the
SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/
FRONT B terminals using a bi-amplifier
connection, select “BI-AMP”.
•OFF
If you connect surround back speakers to the
SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/
FRONT B terminals, select “OFF”.
Note
Set “SB ASSIGN” to “OFF”, then connect the
surround back speakers to this receiver when you
want to change the connection from a bi-amplifier
connection or speakers front B connection to a
surround back speakers connection. Re-set up the
speakers after you connect the surround back
speakers. See “8: Calibrating the appropriate
settings automatically (AUTO CALIBRATION)”
(page 33).

x FL DIST. (Front left speaker
distance)
x FR DIST. (Front right speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the front speakers (A).
If both front speakers are not placed an equal
distance from your listening position, set the
distance to the closest speaker.
With only one surround back
speaker
With two surround back speakers
(The angle B should be the same)
x CNT DIST. (Center speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the center speaker.
x SL DIST. (Surround left speaker

x SR DIST. (Surround right
speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround speakers.
x SB DIST. (Surround back
speaker distance)
x SBL DIST. (Surround back left
speaker distance)
x SBR DIST. (Surround back right
speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround back speakers.
x SW DIST. (Subwoofer distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the subwoofer.
Note
Depends on the speaker pattern setting. Some
parameters may not be available.
Tip
The distance between the center speaker and the
listening position B cannot be more than 5 feet
closer than the one between the listening position
and the front speaker A. Place the speakers so that
the difference in the length of B in the following
diagram is no more than 5 feet closer than the length
of A.
Example: Adjust the distance B to 15 feet or more
when the distance A is 20 feet.
Also, the distance between the surround speakers/
surround back speakers and the listening position
C cannot be more than 15 feet closer than the
distance between the listening position and the front
speakers A. Place the speakers so that the
difference in the length of C in the following
diagram is no more than 15 feet closer than the
length of A.
Example: Adjust the distance C to 5 feet or more
when the distance A is 20 feet.
This is important because incorrect speaker
placement is not conductive to the enjoyment of
surround sound. Please note that placing the
speakers closer than the required 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.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!

If you connect a subwoofer
This receiver will generate a low frequency
signal for output to the subwoofer when there
is no LFE signal, which is a low-pass sound
effect output from a subwoofer to a 2 channel
signal. However, the low frequency signal is
not generated for “NEO6 CIN” or “NEO6
MUS” when all speakers are set to “LARGE”.
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off
frequency as high as possible.
Notes
• This function does not work in the following cases.
– PCM signals with a sampling frequency of more
than 96 kHz are being received.
– DTS 96/24 signals are being received.
– DTS-HD signals with a sampling frequency of

• System Audio Control: While watching TV,
you can select to output the sound from the
TV speaker or the speakers connected to the
receiver.
• System Power Off: When you turn off the

Programming the remote
You can program the remote to control non-
Sony components by changing the code. Once
the control signals have been memorized, you
can use those components as part of your
system.
Furthermore, you can also program the remote
for Sony components that the remote is unable
to control. Note that the remote can only
control components that accept infrared
wireless control signals.
1 Press AV ?/1 while pressing

components that the remote is normally unable
to control. Since the remote signal that a
component accepts differs depending on the
model and year of the component, more than
one numeric code may be assigned to a
component. If you fail to program your remote
using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
• The numeric codes are based on the latest
information available for each brand. There is a
chance, however, that your component will not
respond to some or all of the codes.
• All of the input buttons on this remote may not be
available when used with your particular

x Cinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded
as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound
technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing
theater using three technologies: “Virtual
Multi Dimensions,” “Screen Depth Matching,”
and “Cinema Studio Reverberation.”
“Virtual Multi Dimensions,” the virtual
speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-
surround environment with actual speakers up
to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound
experience of a theater with the latest facilities
into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble
attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound
usually created in a theater using sound
emission from behind the screen. This is then
added to the front and center channels.
“Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces
the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art
dubbing theaters and recording studios,
including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s
dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
x Component video
A format for transmitting video signal
information consisting of three separate
signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and
chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as
DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted
more faithfully. The three jacks are color -
coded green, blue and red.
x Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video
signal information. The luminance signal Y
and chrominance signal C are combined and
transmitted together.

Additional Information
x Deep Color
Video signals for which the color depth of
signals passing through an HDMI jack have
been raised.
The number of colors that could be expressed
by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with
the current HDMI jack. However, the number
of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel
will be 36 bits, etc., when the receiver
corresponds to Deep Color.
Since the gradation of the depth of a color can
be expressed more finely with more bits,
continuous color changes can be more
smoothly expressed.
x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
A unique sound reproduction technology for
home theater developed by Sony, in
cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment,
for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound
of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital
Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured
data, the ideal sound field intended by
filmmakers can be experienced at home.
x Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It
consists of front (left/right), center, surround
(left/right) and subwoofer channels. It is a
designated audio standard for DVD video and
also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since
surround information is recorded and
reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with
fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby
surround.
x Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus provides the flexibility and
efficiency to deliver more channels of
compelling surround sound for high-definition
video media. Its superior coding efficiencies
enable up to 7.1ch of high-quality
multichannel audio without negatively
impacting bit budgets allocated for video
performance or additional feature sets.
x Dolby Digital Surround EX
Acoustic technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, Inc. Surround back information
is matrixed into regular left and right surround
channels so that the sound can be reproduced
in 6.1 channel. Active scenes, especially, are
recreated with a more dynamic and realistic
sound field.
x Dolby Pro Logic II
This technology converts 2 channel stereo
recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback.
There is a MOVIE mode for movies and
MUSIC mode for stereo sources such as
music. Old movies encoded in the traditional
stereo format can be enhanced with 5.1
channel surround sound.
The GAME mode is suitable for video games.
x Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Technology for 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel)
playback. Along with audio encoded in Dolby
Digital Surround EX, 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital encoded audio can be reproduced in
7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel). Furthermore,
existing stereo recorded content can also be
reproduced in 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel).
x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono
surround information is matrixed into two
stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is
decoded and output in 4 channel surround
sound. This is the most common audio
processing method for DVD video.
x Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s lossless audio
technology developed for high-definition
optical discs. Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-for-
bit identical to the original studio masters and
provides supreme-quality audio up to 8
channel at 96 kHz/24 bit and up to 6ch at
192 kHz/24 bit. Together with high-definition
video, it offers an unprecedented home theater
experience.

US
x DTS 96/24
A high sound quality digital signal format. It
records audio at a sampling frequency and bit
rate of 96 kHz/24bit which is the highest
possible for DVD video. The number of
playback channels varies depending on the
software.
x DTS Digital Surround
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology
for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It
compresses audio less than Dolby Digital,
delivering a higher quality sound
reproduction.
x DTS-ES
Format for 6.1 channel playback with
surround back information. There are two
modes, “Discrete 6.1” which records all
channels independently, and “Matrix 6.1”
which matrixes surround back channel into
surround left and surround right channels. It is
ideal for playback of motion picture
soundtracks.
x DTS-HD
Audio format which extends the conventional
DTS Digital Surround format.
This format consists of a core and an
extension, and the core part has DTS Digital
Surround compatibility. There are two kinds of
DTS-HD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
and DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio has a maximum
transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with lossy
compression (Lossy), and DTS-HD High
Resolution Audio corresponds to a maximum
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and a
maximum of 7.1 channel. DTS-HD Master
Audio has a maximum transmission rate of
24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression
(Lossless), and DTS-HD Master Audio
corresponds to a maximum sampling
frequency of 192 kHz, and a maximum of
7.1 channel.
x DTS Neo:6
This technology converts 2 channel stereo
recorded audio for 6.1 channel playback.
There are two modes to select according to the
playback source or your preference, CINEMA
for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources
such as music.
x HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) is an interface that supports both
video and audio on a single digital connection,
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital
picture and sound. The HDMI specification
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents Protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding
technology for digital video signals.
x Neutral THX
Neural-THX Surround is taking surround
sound to the next level. This revolutionary new
technology delivers the rich envelopment and
discrete image detail of surround sound in a
format that is fully compatible with stereo.
Neural-THX Surround reduces the bandwidth
needed for broadcasters to deliver true, multi-
channel surround presentations, and enables
7.1-channel support for gaming and movies.
By unmasking the audio details, typically lost
by other playback systems, audiences will
experience the deep ambience and subtle
details of movies, music and games. And with
this technology being used by sound designers
during content creation, as well as embedded
into playback devices, Neural-THX Surround
promises a listening experience that is true to
the original mix.
Neural-THX Surround has been chosen as the
official surround sound broadcast format for
XM Satellite Radio’s “XM HD Surround”, as
well as other leading FM/HD radio stations
worldwide.

x S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive
Radio frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of
DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other
high quality media.
To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high
quality media are transmitted with no
deterioration, Sony has developed a
technology called “S-AIR” for the radio
transmission of digital audio signals with no
compression, and has incorporated this
technology into the EZW-RT10/EZW-T100.
This technology transfers digital audio signals
with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band
range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical band), such as wireless LANs and
Bluetooth applications.
x Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data
should be quantified. This process is called
sampling, and the number of times per second
the analog data is quantified is called the
sampling frequency. A standard music CD
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per
second, which is expressed as a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a
higher sampling frequency means better sound
quality.
x x.v.Colour
x.v.Colour is a more familiar term for the
xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a
trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international
standard for color space in video.
This standard can express a wider colour range
than the currently used broadcast standard.
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.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
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 (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.
• The 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.
continued
112
US
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.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the
receiver is being used in combination with a
TV, 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).)
• Use caution when placing the receiver on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
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 questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
About S-AIR function
• As the S-AIR function transmits sound by
radio waves, sound may skip when radio
waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic
of radio waves and is not malfunction.
• As the S-AIR function transmits sound by
radio waves, equipment that generates
electromagnetic energy, such as a
microwave oven, may interfere with sound
transmission.
• As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves
that share the same frequency as other
wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or
Bluetooth, interference or poor transmission
may result. In this case, take the following
steps:
– Do not install the system near other
wireless systems.
– Do not use the system and the other
wireless systems at the same time.
• The transmission distance differs depending
on the usage environment. Find a location
where transmission between the S-AIR main
unit and sub unit is most effective, and
install the S-AIR main unit and sub unit
there.
