Adjusting the speaker size (Manual Setup)

You can adjust the size of each speaker (front left/right, front high left/right (*1), center, surround left/right and

surround back left/right (*1)).

for STR-DH750 only

1. Select [Settings] - [Speaker Settings] from the home menu.

2. Select [Manual Setup].

3. Select the speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the size.

4. Select [Size], then press / to adjust the size.

Large: If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select [Large].

Select [Large] usually.

Small: If the sound is distorted or you hear a lack of surround effects when using multi channel

surround sound, select [Small]. You can activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass

frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other [Large] speakers.

Note

This function does not work when [Analog Direct] is being used.

Hint

The [Large] and [Small] settings for each speaker determine whether 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 subwoofer or other [Large] speakers.

However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it if possible. Therefore,

you can set even a small speaker 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 output bass frequencies 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 equalizer to boost the bass levels.

The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.

When the front speakers are set to [Small], the center, surround, and surround back/front high (*2) speakers

are also automatically set to [Small].

If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to [Large].

HD-D.C.S.:

HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is Sony’s new innovative home theater technology using the latest

mastering studio.

With this mode, you can enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies at home with not only a high-quality of sound but also

the best sound ambience, just as the movie’s sound engineer intended in the mastering process.

Dynamic: This setting is suitable for an environment which is reverberant but lacks a spacious feel (where

sound absorption is not sufficient). It emphasizes the reflection of sound and reproduces the sound of a

large, classic movie theater. This emphasizes the spacious feel of a dubbing theater and creates a unique

acoustic field.

Theater: This setting is suitable for a general living room. It reproduces the reverberation of sound just like in

a movie theater (dubbing theater). It is most appropriate for watching content recorded on a Blu-ray Disc

when you want the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Studio: This setting is suitable for a living room with the appropriate sound devices. It reproduces the

reverberation of sound provided when a theatrical sound source is remixed for a Blu-ray Disc to a volume

level suitable for home use. The level of reflection and reverberation of sound is kept to a minimum, while

dialogues and surround effects are reproduced vividly.

PLII Movie (PLII MV):

Performs Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround.

In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5.1-channel format when watching videos of overdubbed or old

Before you perform Auto Calibration

Before you perform Auto Calibration, check the following items:

Set up and connect the speakers.

Do not connect any microphones other than the supplied optimizer microphone to the AUTO CAL MIC jack.

If using a bi-amplifier connection or speakers with a front B connection, set the assignment for the

SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B terminals properly. For details, see

“Setting the assignment for the speaker terminals (SB Assign) (for STR-DH750 only).”

Set the speaker output to a setting other than [SPK OFF]. For details, see “Selecting the front speakers (for

STR-DH750 only).”

Disconnect the headphones.

Remove any obstructions between the optimizer microphone and the speakers.

For accurate measurement, make sure the environment is quiet and free from noise.

Note

The speakers emit very loud sound during the calibration and the volume cannot be adjusted. Be considerate

of your neighbor and any children who are present.

If the muting function has been activated before you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function will shut

off automatically.

It may not be possible to take the correct measurements or to perform Auto Calibration at all if special

speakers such as dipole speakers are used.
