Thanks Sony for making this easy for me to get my system sounding great. Keep up with great sounding units, because to me you guys are # 1

I bought a SONY 5000 ES to go with a new A95K TV. It will not communicate with the Sony TV. I spent two hours with Sony's TV techs and they could not get it to work. I spent another hour with Sony's amp tech and they could not get it to work. I was told to call Monday through Friday to talk to the ES Specialist. He would not help, not even make a suggestion. He said if I don't like it send it back. I am very disappointed with Sony's support.

Sony es auto calabration of a 5.2.4, 7.2.4 or 7.2.6 using core series speakers center, towers and book shelf including the dolby atmos speaker modules enabled or as height speakers.)

Any update to fixed the hissing sound when you play 360

Is normal sony str-an1000 have quiet humming from transformator like in operation?

[baracudasmile]

A9 with only four speakers creates many phantom speakers, do the ES receivers with Cailbation IX, and 360 special sound mapping have the capability to create phantom speakers? I have an STR AZ3000ES attached to an XR 65A95L with a 5.2.4 pure Sony setup so far. Unlike the A8 I like having the extra base given by SA-SW3's.

I have the Sony AZ7000ES. It used to run atmos and dolby vision while gaming. My series x is in atmos. I have it set in AFD Movie mode. All cables are hdmi 2.1. Am I missing a simple setting? Thank you. Currently running 7.2.6

Is this for wireless or wired speakers? I do not have wireless speakers.

[ebarbie]

The Digital Cinema Auto Calibration, like the Yamaha YPAO, is virtually useless! You should have added Dirac Live upgradabiluty support.

I'd stick with Denon...

These new sony receivers are X.2 CH receivers, but how to activate the second subwoofer's calibration? Thanks.

2:33 Any comment as to why the 5000ES doesn’t allow using the HEIGHT2 out when using Acoustic Center Sync with the S-Center Out? I’m aware dual center channel wouldn’t, as the AVR uses the same CENTER2 out as HEIGHT2 on the back of the receiver.

Ealan makes Auto Calibration look easy on these units. I wish I could get him over my house. I purchase an STR AZ7000ES and have had it for two days and have not been able to achieve it yet. Sony support is worthless. I may have to send this back.

Fun fact: The Sony AN1000 does not allow 5.1.2 Atmos, only 3.1.2

Question, if you have the normal 7.1, ( one subwoofer) + meaning you have your normal front L + R and then Centre, plus 2 L surround and 2 R surround and also 1 x L rear back surround and 1 x r rear surround behind your seating position, how to make sure your getting the right wires to which rear speaker terminals on the back other than the normal 5.1 etc, and what is the settings set on the receiver for the STAN 1000, thanks in advance. 👌✌🦘👍

Possibly one of the worst “how to” i have watched. Let’s assume the reason I wanted to watch this video was due to the fact I didn’t know how do a Sony receiver/TV room calibration. The very first step should be to explain how to get the receiver GUI displayed on the TV screen. Nope that info wasn’t there. The next step is to not introduce any item that isn’t going to be used during the demo. After the 3rd instance talking about some feature that wasn’t going to be used…it was time to find somebody that was a little more focused.
