Automatically calibrating your viewing and listening environment
to create an ideal surround space using Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.
EX*)
D.C.A.C. EX measures and calibrates the distance, angle, level, and frequency characteristics of
the speakers using the supplied stereo calibration microphone (page 40).
The optimum sound is then produced by simulating ideal speaker positions and angles
(Speaker Relocation**).
Calibration functions for sound fields corresponding to various
speaker installation conditions

The receiver restores signals in the micro region of compressed sound sources by up-sampling
the sampling frequency and expanding the bit depth to the equivalent of a maximum of 192 kHz/
24 bits, letting you enjoy CDs and lossy compressed sound sources such as MP3 files in expressive
sound quality closer to the original.
High-definition BLUETOOTH music playback (LDAC)*
LDAC allows approximately three times more data to be transmitted than with the previous
BLUETOOTH A2DP-SBC (328 kbps, 44.1 kHz). The receiver supports wireless playback
(transmission/reception) of high-quality sound when speakers, headphones, a Walkman, or a
smartphone that supports LDAC are connected to the receiver via a BLUETOOTH connection.
Reproduction of authentic impact and realistic sense of immersion
in movies (Sound Optimizer)*
Sound Optimizer calibrates the disparity in acoustic frequency characteristic between movie
production and playback caused by different volume levels, reproducing the impact and
immersive surround effect that the movie's sound engineers intended even when it is played
back at low volume levels in a home.

Connecting Speakers
This receiver allows you to connect up to 7.1-channel system.
The speaker layout diagram is a guide for the ideal speaker placement. You do not need to adjust
your speaker placement exactly the same as the diagram.
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.
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.
For a 4K TV connection, visit the Help Guide.
Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
Sony recommends that you use an HDMI cable made by Sony or another HDMI-authorized
cable. Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. For video signals that require a
high bandwidth such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10 bit etc., be sure to use a
Premium High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet, which supports bandwidths up to 18 Gbps.
When you use high bandwidth video formats such as 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4K/60p 4:2:0
10 bit, be sure to set the HDMI signal format. For details, see “Setting HDMI signal format”
(page 42).
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.
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 a TV to the receiver via the TV IN jacks of the receiver, set the sound output
jack of the TV to “Fixed” if it can be switched between “Fixed” or “Variable.”
When you connect the TV to HDMI OUT B/HDMI ZONE jack, be sure to set [HDMI Out B Mode]
to [Main] in the [HDMI Settings] menu. The home menu is not displayed on the TV screen if
[HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone].

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.
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.

Additional Information
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 device 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
device, noise may result, and picture quality
may suffer. This is especially likely when
using an indoor 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 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.
Supported BLUETOOTH version
and profiles
Profile refers to a standard set of functions for
various BLUETOOTH product features. See
“BLUETOOTH section” in “Specifications”
(page 62) for the BLUETOOTH version and
profiles supported by this receiver.
Effective communication range
BLUETOOTH devices should be used within
approximately 10 meters (33 feet)
(unobstructed distance) of each other. The
effective communication range may become
shorter under the following conditions.
When a person, metal object, wall or other
obstruction is between the devices with a
BLUETOOTH connection
Locations where a wireless LAN is installed
Around microwave ovens that are in use
Locations where other electromagnetic
waves are generated
Effects of other devices
BLUETOOTH devices and wireless LAN
(IEEE 802.11b/g/n) device use the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz). When using your
BLUETOOTH device near a device with
wireless LAN capability, electromagnetic
interference may occur. This could result in
lower data transfer rates, noise, or inability to
connect. If this happens, try the following
remedies:
Use this receiver at least 10 meters (33 feet)
away from the wireless LAN device.
Turn off the power to the wireless LAN
device when using your BLUETOOTH device
within 10 meters (33 feet).
Install this receiver and BLUETOOTH device
as closer to each other as possible.
Effects on other devices
The radio waves broadcast by this receiver
may interfere with the operation of some
medical devices. Since this interference may
result in malfunction, always turn off the
power on this receiver and BLUETOOTH
device in the following locations:
In hospitals, on trains, in airplanes, at gas
stations, and any place where flammable
gasses may be present
Near automatic doors or fire alarms
This receiver supports security functions that
comply with the BLUETOOTH specification to
ensure secure connection during communication
using BLUETOOTH technology. However, this
security may be insufficient depending on the
setting contents and other factors, so always be
careful when performing communication using
BLUETOOTH technology.
Sony shall not be held liable in any way for
damages or other loss resulting from information
leaks during communication using BLUETOOTH
technology.
BLUETOOTH communication is not necessarily
guaranteed with all BLUETOOTH devices that have
the same profile as this receiver.
