Notes Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. Do not use a new battery with an old one. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you don’t use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.* The MASTER VOL +, numeric button 5 and H buttons have a tactile dot. Use the tactile dot as a reference when operating the receiver and other audio/video components.

The above explanation is intended to serve as an example only. Therefore, depending on the component the above operation may not be possible or may operate differently than described. When you press input buttons (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2 or DVD), the input mode of the TV might not switch to the corresponding input mode that you want. In this case, press TV/VIDEO button to switch the input mode of the TV. To activate the buttons with orange printing, press TV and the button you want simultaneously. . If the factory settings of the input buttons do not match your system components, you can change them. For example, if you have a CD player and you do not have a DVD player, you can assign the DVD button to your CD player. 1Hold down the input button whose input you want to change (for example, DVD). 2Press the corresponding button of the component you want to assign to the input button (for example, 5 – CD player). The following buttons are assigned to select the input: *Sony VCRs are operated with a VTR 2 or 3 setting. These correspond to 8 mm and VHS respectively. Now you can use the DVD button to control the CD player. To reset a button to its factory setting Repeat the above procedure. To reset all the input buttons to their factory setting Press ?/1, TEST TONE and MASTER VOL – at the same time.

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 at the rear of the receiver. The receiver 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. AC power cord must be changed only at the 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. 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. Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers 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. If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen The front and center speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from a TV set (page 11). If color irregularity is observed... Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity is observed again... Place the speaker further away from the TV set. If howling occurs Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on 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 question or problem concerning your receiver, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

There is no sound or only a very low-level sound no matter which component is selected. Check that the speakers and components are connected securely and correctly. Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on. Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver. Check that MASTER VOLUME on the receiver is not set at “VOL MIN”. Press MUTING to cancel the muting function. There is no sound from a specific component. Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component. Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. Check that you have selected the correct component on the receiver. There is no sound from one of the front speakers. Check that the component is connected correctly to the audio input jacks for that component. Check that the cord(s) used for the connection is (are) fully inserted into the jacks on both the receiver and the component. The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed. Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely. Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu. There is severe hum or noise. Check that the speakers and components are connected securely. Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light. Move your TV away from the audio components. The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center or/and surround speakers. Select a CINEMA STUDIO EX mode (page 24). Adjust the speaker level (page 16). There is no sound from the subwoofer. Check that the subwoofer is connected correctly and securely. The surround effect cannot be obtained. Make sure the sound field function is on (press MOVIE or MUSIC). Sound fields do not function for the signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz. Dolby Digital or DTS multi channel sound is not reproduced. Check that the playing DVD, etc. is recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS format. When connecting the DVD player, etc. to the digital input jacks of this receiver, check the audio setting (settings for the audio output) of the connected component. The FM reception is poor. Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
