WARNING

To prevent fire or shock

hazard, do not expose

the unit to rain or

moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open

the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified

personnel only.

Do not install the appliance in a

confined space, such as a bookcase or

build-in cabinet.

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 at the rear of the amplifier.

• This 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 mains

lead, grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only

at the qualified service shop.

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.

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 question or problem

concerning your amplifier, please

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Features

On-screen control of Audio/Video components

The TA-VE800G Integrated AV Amplifier is an audio/video control centre with a unique interface. By connecting the

amplifier to your TV, an on-screen display appears and lets you operate the various connected audio/video

components. Use the remote to move the pointer (hand-shaped icon) on the on-screen display and select functions.

This unit’s on-screen display lets you control audio/video components as well as any other device that can be

controlled by an infrared remote control, such as lighting fixtures.

For details on how the amplifier controls other equipment, see page 6.

Introduction

A wide variety of sound fields including Dolby Pro Logic surround

Since the amplifier comes preset with 12 different sound fields (like HALL, THEATER, ARENA, etc.), you can enjoy exciting

sound effects simply by choosing one from the SOUND FIELD SELECT screen.

The amplifier also incorporates a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, so you can enjoy programmes recorded in Dolby Surround with

a surround effect similar to a movie theatre.

CD Changer Control

Connecting a Sony CD changer equipped with a Control A1 terminal allows you to access and display the disc information

stored in the CD changer in alphabetical order, numerical order, or by group name. You can also select the disc to be played

discs from the on-screen display using the amplifier’s remote.

Understanding How the Amplifier Works

The remote control supplied with the TA-VE800G uses infrared (IR) rays to command the amplifier and control the

on-screen display.

Since this amplifier uses menu operations, you must connect a TV.

On-screen operation

1The remote commander emits an infrared (IR) signal when you press direction control button (1above).

2This controls the movement of the pointer (hand icon) in the on-screen display (2above).

3When you move the pointer to an on-screen icon, and press the centre of the direction control button, the

infrared (IR) emitter transmits the corresponding IR control code to the respective programme source (3

above).

If the screen does not appear or the pointer does not move when you press the direction control button

The IR code from the remote is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the amplifier (1above). Make sure there are no

obstacles between the remote and the amplifier.

If the programme source fails to respond or is slow to respond

The IR control code from the IR repeater is not fully reaching the infrared receptor on the programme source. Connect the extra

IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the programme source (see “IR Repeater Hookups” on page 8).

If some of the programmed on-screen controls are unresponsive or slow, rerecord the IR codes for those buttons ( see

“Registering non-Sony Audio/Video equipment” on page 16).

The TV is used as a monitor

To watch TV programmes, use the TV tuner built into your VCR. The VCR controls in the on-screen display let you switch the

programme positions using the amplifier’s remote.

You can use the TV’s tuner when the amplifier is turned off, but operations must be performed using the remote supplied

with the TV.

Before you get started

• Turn off the power to all components before making

any connections.

• Do not connect the mains leads until all of the

connections are completed.

• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum

and noise.

• When connecting an audio/video cable, be sure to

match the colour-coded pins to the appropriate jacks

on the components: Yellow (video) to Yellow; White

(left, audio) to White; and Red (right, audio) to Red.

IR Repeater Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect the supplied

extra infrared (IR) repeater to the amplifier. The

repeater emits infrared signals corresponding to those

emitted by the remote controls supplied with the

respective components. Connected this repeater to

obtain additional coverage if you experience difficulty

controlling a certain component using the amplifier’s

on screen display (OSD) control functions, or your

installation prevents the repeater on the front panel

from reaching all of the equipment you need to control.

For the specific location of the terminal, see the

illustration below.

Hookups

Notes

• Use the supplied adhesive tape to secure the IR repeater

so that its front faces the equipment to be controlled.

• If you experience trouble controlling the connected

equipment, the infrared (IR) signals transmitted from the

repeater may not be reaching the infrared receptor on the

respective equipment. In such a case, reposition the IR

repeater closer to that piece of equipment.

• If your turntable has an earth lead

To prevent hum, connect the earth lead to the ySIGNAL

GND terminal on the amplifier.

CONTROL A1 Hookups

• If you have a CONTROL A1 compatible Sony CD player

or tape deck

Use a CONTROL A1 cord (not supplied) to connect the

CTRL A1 jack on the CD player or tape deck to the S-LINK

CTRL A1 jack on the amplifier. Refer the separate manual

“CONTROL-A1 Control System” and the Operating

Instructions supplied with your CD player or tape deck

for details.

• If you have a Sony CD changer with a COMMAND

MODE selector

If the CD changer’s COMMAND MODE selector can be

switched between CD 1, CD 2, and CD 3, be sure to set the

command mode to “CD 1” and connect the changer to the

CD terminals on the amplifier.

However, if you have a Sony CD changer with VIDEO

OUT terminals, set the command mode to “CD 2” or “CD

3” and connect the changer to a set of the amplifier’s video

component terminals (VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or LD).

Speaker System Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to

the amplifier. Although front (left and right) speakers

are required, centre and rear speakers are optional.

Adding centre and rear speakers will enhance the

surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will

increase bass response.

For specific locations of the terminals, see the

illustration below.

For optimum surround sound effect, place your

speakers as shown below.

What cords will I need?

Speaker cord (not supplied) (1 for each speaker)

Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 15 mm (2/3 inch).

Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate

terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords

are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
