The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
•MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
Tip
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light
compression. Therefore, we recommend using the
“MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the
dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night
at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are
predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.

Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the amplifier and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
Before operating the amplifier, 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 amplifier.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit
itself has been turned off.
If you are not going to use the amplifier for
a long time, be sure to disconnect the
amplifier 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 amplifier heats up during
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you
continuously use this amplifier 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 amplifier in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup
and prolong the life of the amplifier.
Do not place the amplifier 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 amplifier near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If
the amplifier is being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an
indoor antenna (aerial). Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna
(aerial).)
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the amplifier.
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 questions or problems
concerning your amplifier, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.

Check that headphones are not connected.
The protective device on the amplifier has
been activated. Turn off the amplifier,
eliminate the short-circuit problem, and
turn on the power again.
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 amplifier and the
component.
There is no sound from one of the
speakers.
Connect a pair of headphones to the
PHONES jack to verify that sound is
output from the headphones. If only one
channel is output from the headphones, the
component may not be connected to the
amplifier correctly. Check that all the
cords are fully inserted into the jacks on
both the amplifier and the component. If
both channels are output from the
headphones, the speaker may not be
connected to the amplifier correctly.
Check the connection of the speaker which
is not outputting any sound.
Make sure you have connected both the L
or R jack to an analog component and not
just to either the L or R jack. Use a
monaural-stereo cable (not supplied).
The left and right sounds are
unbalanced or reversed.
Check that the speakers and components
are connected correctly and securely.
Adjust the balance parameters by pressing
BALANCE on the remote.
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
m away from a TV set or fluorescent light.
Move your TV away from the audio
components.
Make sure you have grounded the U
SIGNAL GND terminal (only when a
turntable is connected).
The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them
with a cloth slightly moistened with
alcohol.
Recording cannot be carried out.
Check that the components are connected
correctly (page 7, 8).
Select the source component using INPUT
SELECTOR (page 11, 12).
