A Connecting components with HDMI jacks HDMI is the abbreviated name for High- Definition Multimedia Interface. It is an interface which transmits video and audio signals in digital format. Sony recommends that you connect components to the receiver using an HDMI cable. With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high quality sound and high quality images. However, it is necessary to connect the audio output of the TV to the audio input of the receiver using an optical cord to listen to the TV multi channel surround sound broadcasting from the receiver. By connecting Sony BRAVIA Sync compatible components using HDMI cables, BRAVIA Sync Features makes operations simpler (page 44). HDMI features A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. This signal supports Dolby Digital, DTS and Linear PCM. This receiver supports xvycc transmission. This receiver supports the Control for HDMI function. For details, see BRAVIA Sync Features (page 44). 18 GB

It is not output from any other audio jacks. Video signals input to the HDMI IN jack can only be output from the HDMI OUT jack. The multi/stereo area audio signals of a Super Audio CD are not output. Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable. Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched. When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output. In this case, check the specification of the connected component. You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection. Set the image resolution of the playback component to 720p, 1080i or 1080p when you output 96 khz multi channel sound over an HDMI connection. You may need to make certain settings on the image resolution of the player before you can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM. Refer to the operating instructions of the player. Refer to the operating instructions of each component connected for details. We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. When you connect an HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D component, the sound and/or the image may not be output. Getting Started 19 GB

22 ACTIVE STANDBY INPUT SELECTOR MASTER VOLUME Performing initial setup operations Before using the receiver for the first time, initialize the receiver by performing the following procedure. This procedure can also be used to return settings you have made to their factory defaults. Be sure to use the buttons on the receiver for this operation. Inserting batteries into the remote Insert two R6 (size-aa) batteries in the RM-AAU058 Remote Commander. Observe the correct polarity when installing batteries.?/1 1 Press?/1 to turn on the receiver. 2 Hold down?/1 for 5 seconds. CLEARED appears. All the settings you have changed or adjusted are reset to the initial settings. Notes Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. Do not use a new battery with old ones. Do not mix manganese batteries and other kinds of batteries. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion. When you replace the batteries, the remote buttons may be reset to their factory settings. If this happens, reassign the buttons again (page 51). When the remote no longer operates the receiver, replace all the batteries with new ones. 22 GB

23 7: Calibrating the appropriate settings automatically (AUTO CALIBRATION) This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which allows you to perform automatic calibration as follows: Check the connection between each speaker and the receiver. Adjust the speaker level. Measure the distance of each speaker from your listening position. Measure the frequency characteristics.* * The measurement result is not utilized for signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 khz. The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels manually according to your preference. For details, see 8: Adjusting the speaker levels (TEST TONE) (page 27). Before you perform Auto Calibration Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set up and connect the speakers (page 12, 15). 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 to 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.
