Getting Started
1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 6 channel
speaker with 4 sub woofers system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker and two
surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1
channel).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround
EX format if you connect one additional
surround back speaker (6.1 channel) (see
“Using the surround back decoding mode
(SUR BACK DECODING)”) on page 46.

GSub woofer
HSub woofer
Tip
Since the sub woofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.
Before you install the center speaker, surround
speakers, surround back speaker and sub
woofers, be sure to attach the supplied foot
pads to prevent vibration or movement as
shown in the illustration below.
Installing the speakers on a flat
surface

16GB
You can install your surround and surround
back speakers on the wall.
1Prepare screws (not supplied)
that are suitable for the hook on
the back of each speaker as
shown in the illustrations
below.
2Fasten the screws to the wall.
The screws should protrude 5
to 7 mm.
3Hang the speakers on the
screws.
Notes
• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material
and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially
fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and
fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a
vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is
applied.
• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall
material or screws to be used.
• Sony is not responsible for accident or damage
caused by improper installation, insufficient wall
strength or improper screw installation, natural
calamity, etc.
