[3] Preparation Before using
Notes on installing the receiver
Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase.
Sufficient space around the receiver is needed to release heat. When placing the receiver
in a rack, leave more than 44.45 mm (1.75 in) space above the receiver, and more than
44.45 mm (1.75 in) space along the sides of the receiver. The rack behind the receiver
should be open. If you place the receiver with its back against the wall, leave more than
88.9 mm (3.5 in) space between the receiver and the wall.
Make sure to use a “WS-RE1” dedicated rack mount kit for this receiver when mounting
the receiver on a rack mount.
Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
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.
Magnets are attached to both the front panel and front cover. Do not place cards with
magnetic stripes, such as bank cards or ID passes, near the receiver. These cards may
become unusable due to the effects of the magnets on the receiver.
[4] Preparation Before using
Function for conversion of video signals
The receiver is equipped with a function for converting video signals. Video signals and
component video signals can be output as HDMI video signals (*1).
The correspondence of the INPUT jacks to the OUTPUT jacks is shown below.
HDMI IN:HDMI OUT
COMPONENT VIDEO IN:HDMI OUT (*1), COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT (*2)

VIDEO IN:HDMI OUT (*1), MONITOR VIDEO OUT (*2), ZONE2 VIDEO OUT (*2)
*1 Video signals are upconverted and upscaled (up to 4K) when outputting to HDMI OUT A jack.
Video signals are upconverted but video resolution is the same as the input video source when
outputting to HDMI OUT B jack.
*2 The same type of signal as the input signal is output.
Note
When video signals from a VCR, etc., are upconverted on this receiver and then viewed
on your TV, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted horizontally or no image
may be seen depending on the status of the video signal output.
If you are using image improvement circuitry with your VCR, it may impact the video
signal conversion. It is recommended that you turn off this function on your VCR.
Converted HDMI image output does not support “x.v.Color,” Deep Color, or 3D.
HDMI video signals cannot be converted to component video signals or video signals.
1080p component video signals cannot be upconverted.
When [4K Scaling] is set to [Auto], if the HDMI input signals are [email protected]/24 Hz and
a 4K-compatible TV is connected to HDMI OUT A jack, the HDMI input signals are
automatically upscaled to 4K images and output from the HDMI OUT A jack.
When [HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone2], component video signals or video signals
selected in zone 2 can be output from the HDMI OUT B jack.
If you select different component video signals or video signals in the main zone and
zone2 when [HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone2], only audio signals can be output from
HDMI OUT B jack and the screen will blackout.
[5] Preparation Before using

[6] Preparation Before using
Notes on connecting cables

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) before connecting cables.
It is not necessary to connect all of the cables. Connect cables according to the
availability of jacks on the connected device.
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. 1080p, Deep Color, 4K or 3D images may not be
displayed properly if you use a Standard HDMI cable.
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. For details, see “Using other video/audio input jacks (Input
Assign).”
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz
sampling frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused
input
See “Using other video/audio input jacks (Input Assign).”
[7] Preparation Before using
Using HDMI connections
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface that transmits video and audio
signals in digital format. Connecting devices made by Sony that are “BRAVIA” Sync-
compatible makes operations simpler. See “Interlocking other devices using an HDMI
connection (“BRAVIA” Sync).”
HDMI features
Digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI can be output from the speakers and the PRE
OUT jacks on this receiver (the PRE OUT jacks are only for STR-ZA3000ES). This signal
supports Dolby Digital, DTS, DSD, and Linear PCM. For details, see “Digital audio formats
supported by the receiver.”
The receiver can receive Multi Channel Linear PCM (up to 8 channels) with a sampling
frequency of 192 kHz or less via an HDMI connection.
Analog video signals input to the VIDEO jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be
output as HDMI signals. Audio signals input to the OPTICAL IN, COAXIAL IN and
ANALOG IN jacks can be output as HDMI signals with converted analog video signals

from the HDMI OUT B jack when [HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone2].
This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), Deep
Color, “x.v.Color,” and 4K or 3D transmission.
To enjoy 3D images, connect a 3D-compatible TV and video device (Blu-ray Disc Player,
Blu-ray Disc recorder, PlayStation 3, etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables,
put on 3D glasses, and then play 3D-compatible content.
To enjoy 4K images, connect a 4K-compatible TV or video device (Blu-ray Disc Player,
etc.) to the receiver using High Speed HDMI cables, and then play 4K-compatible
content.
The HDMI jacks designated as being “HDCP 2.2” support High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection System Revision 2.2 (HDCP 2.2). Connect these HDMI jacks to jacks that
support HDCP 2.2 on a TV or a player. Refer to the operating instructions of the
connected device for details.
Note
Depending on the TV or video device, 4K or 3D images may not be displayed. Check the
HDMI video formats supported by the receiver.
Refer to the operating instructions of each connected device for details.
[8] Preparation Installing and connecting speakers
Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use up to a 7.2-channel system (7 speakers and two
subwoofers).
Typical examples of speaker system configurations are as follows.
5.1-channel speaker system
To fully enjoy theater-like multi-channel surround sound, you need five speakers (two front
speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer.
7.1-channel speaker system using surround back speakers
You can enjoy high-fidelity reproduction of recorded sound from a DVD or Blu-ray Disc in
6.1-channel or 7.1-channel format.
5.1 -channel speaker system and zone 2
If you make a 5.1ch connection in the main zone, you can also enjoy the sound in another
location (“Zone 2”) by connecting additional zone 2 speakers.
Note
You cannot use the surround back speakers and the front high speakers simultaneously.
