Sony STR-DA5600ES Guida Utente

Place the optimizer microphone at your 
seating position. Use a stool or tripod so 
that the optimizer microphone remains at 
the same height as your ears. Orient the L 
end of the optimizer microphone toward 
the front left speaker and the R end of the 
optimizer microphone toward the front 
right speaker.

When you position the optimizer microphone 
at the center of the two speakers, if the angle 
between the two speakers is too narrow, the 
optimizer microphone cannot measure the left 
and right speakers properly.

• When a subwoofer is connected, turn on the 

subwoofer and turn up the volume 
beforehand. Turn the LEVEL knob to just 
before the mid-point.

• If you connect a subwoofer with the 

crossover frequency function, set the value 
to maximum.

• If you connect a subwoofer with an auto 

standby function, set it to off (deactivated).

Depending on the characteristics of the subwoofer 
you are using, the setup distance value may be 
further away from the actual position.

You can use the auto calibration function when 
you use the receiver as a pre-amplifier.
In this case, the distance value shown on the 
display may differ from the actual distance 
value. However, there will be no problems, 
even if you continue to use the receiver with 
that value.

The auto calibration function allows you to 
measure the following:
• Speaker connections

1)

• Polarity of speakers
• Speaker distance

2)

• Speaker size

2)

• Speaker level
• Frequency characteristics (EQ)

2) 3)

• Frequency characteristics (Phase)

2) 4)

1)

This receiver corrects signals by analog downmix 
processing only for the center speaker and 
subwoofer when the multi-channel input is 
selected. The correction is invalid for other 
speakers.

2)

The measurement result is not utilized in the 
following cases.

– The multi-channel input is selected.
– “2ch Analog Direct” is being used.

3)

• Signals with a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz 

and higher are always played back at either 
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

• The measurement result is not utilized when 

Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling 
frequency of 176.4 kHz and higher are being 
received.

4)

• Signals with a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz 

and higher are always played back at either 
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

• The measurement result is not utilized when 

Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling 
frequency of 176.4 kHz and higher or DTS-HD 
signals with a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz 
and higher are being received.
