5.1CH Input Hookups

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel
decoder, it is also equipped with 5.1CH INPUT jacks.
These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel
software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital
(AC-3) and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with

5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to

the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi
channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH INPUT jacks
can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will
need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers,
and a center speaker) and a subwoofer. Refer to the
instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi
channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input
hookups.

–. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted
and will lack bass.

• If you use front speakers with low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.

• You can also connect Micro Satellite Speaker (e.g.
SA-VE230) to the receiver. Micro Satellite Speaker is a

5.1 Channel speaker system consisting of two front
speakers, two rear speakers, one center speaker and one
subwoofer.

Speaker System Hookup

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver.
To prevent this, make sure to take the following
precautions when connecting the speakers.

Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System

Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord
does not touch another speaker terminal or the
stripped end of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

Speaker impedance (STR-DE545 and STR­SE501 only)

Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for the front speakers as
indicated in the table below. Check the instruction manual
supplied with your speakers if you’re not sure of their
impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label
on the back of the speaker.)

If the nominal impedance of
your speaker is

Between 4 and 8 ohms

8 ohms or higher

Speakers connected to the REAR and CENTER
SPEAKERS terminals must have a nominal impedance of
8 ohms or higher (regardless of the setting of the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR).

Note

Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8
ohms or higher if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front
speakers (see page 23).

Set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to

4Ω

8Ω

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.

After connecting all the components, speakers,
and AC power cord, output a test tone to check
that all the speakers are connected correctly. For
details on outputting a test tone, see page 19.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than
the one whose name is currently displayed on the
receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.

To avoid damaging your speakers

Make sure that you turn down the volume before you
turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the
volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.

About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)

Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker
determine whether or not 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 sub woofer or other “LARGE” speaker.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality it 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 bass/
treble to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass/treble, see page

35.

About the rear speaker position (SIDE, and BEHIND)

This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes in the “VIRTUAL” sound fields.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as
critical as other modes. All of the modes in the “VIRTUAL”
sound fields were designed under the premise that the rear
speaker would be located behind the listening position, but
presentation remains fairly consistent even with the rear speakers
positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are
pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of
the listening position, the “VIRTUAL” sound fields will not be
effective unless the rear speaker position parameter is set to
“SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables,
such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using
“BEHIND” if your speakers are located high above the listening
position, even if they are to the immediate left and right.
Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the
“Rear speaker position” explanation, we recommend that you
play back multi channel surround encoded software and listen to
the effect each setting has on your listening environment. Choose
the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that
best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround
sound from the rear speakers and the sound from the front
speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select
“BEHIND” and then use the speaker distance parameter and
speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

p Sub woofer selection (SUB WOOFER)

Initial setting : YES

• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This

activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the
LFE signals from other speakers.

• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that
you set your sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as
possible.

p Front speaker distance (FRONT)

Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the front
(left or right) speaker (A on page 16).

• Front speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).

• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.

p Center speaker distance (CENTER)

Initial setting : 5.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the center
speaker.

• Center speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance
(A on page 16) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to
your listening position (B on page 16).

• Do not place the center speaker farther away from your
listening position than the front speakers.

p Rear speaker distance (REAR)

Initial setting : 3.0 meter
Set the distance from your listening position to the rear
(left or right) speaker.

• Rear speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance
(A on page 16) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer
to your listening position (C on page 16).

• Do not place the rear speakers farther away from your
listening position than the front speakers.

• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest

About speaker distances

This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of
distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker
farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can
not be set more that 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front
speakers.
Likewise, the rear speakers cannot be set farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no
more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to
enjoy the surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the
actual location of the speakers 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.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 1~2 m (3~6 feet)
closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic
sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a
satisfactory surround effect because the rear speakers are too
close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger soundstage. (1 foot
corresponds to a 1 ms difference.)
Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often
results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

Adjusting the speaker volume

Use the remote while seated in your listening position to
adjust the volume of each speaker.

Note

This receiver incorporates a new test tone with a frequency
centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker volume adjustment.

1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.

2 Press TEST TONE on the supplied remote.

You will hear the test tone from each speaker in
sequence.

3 Adjust the volume level so that the volume of the

test tone from each speaker sounds the same
when you are in your main listening position.

• To adjust the balance of the front right and front left
speakers, use the front balance parameter in the
LEVEL menu (see page 34).

• To adjust the balance of the rear right and rear left
speakers, use the rear balance parameter in the
LEVEL menu (see page 34).

• To adjust the volume level of the center speaker,
press MENU </> to select the center parameter.
Use +/– on the remote to adjust the level.

• To adjust the volume level of the rear speaker, press
MENU </> to select the rear parameter.
Use +/– on the remote to adjust the level.

Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System

4 Press TEST TONE on the remote again to turn off

the test tone.

Note

The test tone cannot be output when the receiver is set to 5.1CH

Notes

• The front balance, rear balance, center level, and rear level are
shown in the display during adjustment.

• Although these adjustments can also be made via the front
panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test tone is output, the
receiver switches to the LEVEL menu automatically), we

Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System

recommend you follow the procedure described above and
adjust the speaker levels from your listening position using the
remote control.

z

When setting the volume levels for each speaker

Let’s assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the
speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation
for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make
further adjustments while listening to playback of actual
software. This is because most software contains center and rear
channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front
channels.
When you actually play back software recorded in multi channel
surround, you will notice that increasing the center and rear
speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and
center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and rear
speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB,
and the rear speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better
results.
In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage
with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some
adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB
can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.

Enjoying
Surround
Sound

This chapter describes how to set up
the receiver to enjoy surround sound.
You can enjoy multi channel surround
when playing back software encoded
with Dolby Digital or DTS.

You can take advantage of surround sound simply by
selecting one of the receiver’s pre-programed sound
modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of
movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can
also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you
desire by changing the various surround parameters.
The receiver containes a variety of different sound modes.
The cinema sound modes are designed for use when
playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded
with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic.
In addition to decoding the surround sound, some of
these modes also provide sound effects commonly found
in movie theaters.
The virtual sound modes contain compelling applications
of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal
processing technology. They shift the sound away from
the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of
several “virtual” speakers.
The music (etc.) sound modes are designed for use with
standard audio sources and TV broadcasts. They add
reverberation to the source signal to make you feel as if
you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use these
sound modes with two-channel sources like CD and
stereo broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts.
For more information about the sound modes, see pages
29 — 30.

Enjoying Surround Sound

A.F.D.

The “Auto Format Decoding” sound mode presents the
sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any
reverberation (etc.).

To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the
number and location of your speakers. See “Multi-
Channel Surround setup” starting on page 16 to set the
speaker parameters before enjoying surround sound.
