Connecting Speakers
Note · Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. · Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead). · Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are
not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals. · When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies.
If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output. · If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.
How to connect speaker cables
Be sure to connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals of the speaker and this receiver. Also, be sure to tightly twist the speaker wire strands and insert them securely into the speaker terminals.
10mm (13/32 in)
Note · Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker cables
from touching each other. · Connect speaker cables properly with the polarities (+/­) matched between the receiver and the speakers.
· Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.

Connecting a TV
Connect a TV to the HDMI OUT or MONITOR OUT jack. The menu is displayed on the TV screen only when you connect the TV to the HDMI OUT jack. Sony recommends that you use the HDMI OUT jack to connect the TV because in many cases you will have to perform the settings of this receiver using the menu.
Notes on connection
· Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead). · Depending on the status of the connection between the TV and the antenna (aerial), the image
on the TV screen may be distorted. If this is the case, place the antenna (aerial) farther away from the receiver. · When connecting an optical digital cable, insert the plugs straight until they click into place. · Do not bend or tie optical digital cables. · All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz sampling frequencies. · When connecting TV audio output to the receiver via the AUDIO IN TV (L/R) jacks, set the audio output level of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between “Fixed” or “Variable.” · When you connect the TV to HDMI OUT B/ZONE 2 jack, be sure to set [HDMI OUT B Mode] to [Main] in the [HDMI Settings] menu. Press HDMI OUT repeatedly on the remote control to select “HDMI B” or “HDMI A+B.” The home menu is not displayed on the TV screen if [HDMI OUT B Mode] is set to [Zone2]. · When you connect a TV compatible with the eARC or ARC function, turn on the eARC or ARC function and connect the eARC/ARC-compatible HDMI input jack of your TV to HDMI OUT A (TV) jack of the receiver (page 29).
HDMI cables
· Be sure to use a Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports bandwidths up to 18 Gbps. For video signals that require a high bandwidth such as 4K/120p, 8K, etc., be sure to use an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable that supports bandwidths up to 48 Gbps.
· Select an HDMI signal format suitable for video signal band of TV or AV devices to be connected with the HDMI cable in the menu on the receiver. For details on the HDMI signal format setting, visit the Help Guide.
· We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not output correctly.

Effects of the sound field
Plays back 2-channel audio signals without adding any surround effects. Monaural and multi-channel audio signals are output after being converted into a 2-channel signal. This sound field is best suited for playing back audio signals as they are from two front speakers only, without adding any virtual surround effects. The sound is output from the front left/right speakers only. There is no sound from the subwoofer.
Outputs sound from all connected speakers. When 2-channel or monaural audio signals are input, the receiver outputs sound from all speakers without adding any surround effects. When multi-channel audio signals are input, sound may not be output from certain speakers depending on the speaker settings or playback content.
Plays back all audio signals without adding any surround effects.
Decodes and plays back audio signals using the optimal processing method according to the audio signal input.
Produces optimized (recommended) sound according to the stream. The sound is upmixed to enjoy surround at the same time.
Plays back content using Dolby upmixer or virtual technology according to the set speaker layout.
Plays back content using DTS upmixer or virtual technology according to the set speaker layout.
Upscales existing sound sources to near high-resolution sound quality with DSEE Ultimate (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine Ultimate). This sound field makes you feel as if you are really at the recording studio or concert. DSEE Ultimate only works on 2-channel sound sources with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
This mode is selected automatically when headphones are connected to the PHONES jack or BLUETOOTH headphones/BLUETOOTH speakers are connected to the receiver. (Other sound fields cannot be selected in this case.) Plays back 2-channel audio signals without adding any surround effects. Sound from monaural and multi-channel audio signals are output after being converted into a 2-channel signal.

Note
· Depending on the audio format, if you select [Direct] and play a 5.1ch source when surround speakers and two surround back speakers are connected, the same audio as that from surround speakers will be output from surround back speakers, similar to that of a 7.1ch surround system. The sound level of surround and surround back speakers are adjusted automatically for optimum balance.
· Dolby Atmos is decoded as Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus when a sound field other than [Multi Stereo], [A.F.D.], [A.F.D. Movie] or [Dolby Mode] is selected.

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.
· The AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at a qualified service shop.
· To reduce the risk of electric shock, the speaker cable should be connected to the apparatus and the speakers in accordance with the following instructions. 1) Disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS. 2) Strip 10 to 15 mm of the wire insulation of the speaker cable. 3) Connect the speaker cable to the apparatus and the speakers carefully so as not to touch the core of speaker cable by hand. Also disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS before disconnecting the speaker cable from the apparatus and the speakers.
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.

60EN

Additional Information

On placement

· Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
On operation
Before connecting other device, 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.
On updating
This receiver allows you to update the software automatically when connected to the Internet via a wired or wireless network. You can add new features and use the receiver with more convenience and safety by updating the receiver. If you do not want to update automatically, set [Auto Update] to [Off].
