Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system

due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording

device and authoring software.

The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating

instructions for the recording device.

Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have

been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA-CDs/

DATA-DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some

record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the

CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital

audio material on the other side.

However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback

on this product is not guaranteed.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any

subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session.

Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If MP3 files and JPEG image files in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first

session, only the first session will be played back.

• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.

• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage

from battery leakage and corrosion.

Getting Started

For the best possible surround sound, all the

speakers other than the subwoofer should be

placed at the same distance from the listening

position (1). It is recommended that the

subwoofer should be placed (2).

Place speakers and subwoofer as illustrated

below.

• You can also place the subwoofer either side, facing

the listening position.

• When you install the speaker, the speaker face may be

unstable. In this case, use a commercially available

wire clamper or a commercially available tape, etc.,

to secure the speaker cord.

Using the subwoofer

efficiently

To reinforce the bass sound, place the subwoofer

possible close to a wall.

Note

• If the subwoofer is to be placed ahead of the front

speaker, the distance should be less than 0.5 m.*

• You may not get the bass sound efficiently when the

subwoofer is placed outside (3). You need to adjust

the setting of the distance from the listening position.

Getting Started

To use the wireless system, you need to set up

the surround amplifier. Before setting, make

sure that the wireless transmitter and transceiver

are inserted into the subwoofer and the surround

amplifier correctly (page 25).

This wireless system is called “S-AIR”.

For details of the S-AIR function, see “Using an

S-AIR Product” (page 74).

The subwoofer transmits sound to the surround

amplifier that is connected to the surround

speakers. To establish sound transmission,

perform the following steps.

1 Press "/1 on the control unit.

The system turns on.

2 Make sure that the SURROUND

SELECTOR switch of the surround

amplifier is set to SURROUND.

3 Set the S-AIR ID switch of the surround

amplifier to A.

4 Press POWER on the surround

amplifier.

The POWER / ON LINE indicator turns

green. If not, check the transmission status

as follows.

To check the transmission status

You can check the status of sound transmission

between the subwoofer and surround amplifier

by checking the POWER / ON LINE indicator

of the surround amplifier.

To enjoy the sound by using

headphones

You can enjoy the system’s sound in a place

apart from the control unit by connecting the

headphones to the PHONES jack on the

surround amplifier.

Note

• When you connect headphones to the surround

amplifier, neither the control unit nor the surround

amplifier outputs sound from the system’s speakers.

• The volume of the system may become minimize if

you turn off the surround amplifier while the

headphones are connected to the surround amplifier,

or radio reception is poor. In this case,

“HP NO LINK” and “VOLUME MIN” appear

alternately in the front panel display. Check radio

reception, and set the volume again.

When you use the multiple S-AIR

product

You can prevent miss transmission between the

S-AIR products by setting a different ID for each

S-AIR product. For details, see “Establishing

sound transmission between the S-AIR main

unit and S-AIR sub unit (ID setting)” (page 75).

On power sources

• Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet (mains) if

you do not intend to use it for an extended period of

time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug,

never by the cord.

On placement

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet

becomes hot to touch. This is not a malfunction.

However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do

not place the control unit in a confined space where

ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything

on the system. The system is equipped with a high

power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked,

the control unit can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the control unit on surfaces (rugs,

blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies)

that may block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the control unit near heat sources such

as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or

shock.

• Do not install the control unit in an inclined position.

It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position

only.

• Keep the control unit and discs away from component

with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or

large loudspeakers.

• Do not place anything on the control unit and the

subwoofer.

• If you use more than one set of S-AIR products,

position them away from each other to avoid cross

talk.

• Install this surround amplifier and S-AIR products at

least 50 cm away from people.

• If you use more than one surround amplifier, do not

place one on top of the other.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm

location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture

may condense on the lenses inside the control unit.

Should this occur, the system may not operate

properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the

system turned on for about half an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you

don’t, the disc may be damaged.

• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the

subwoofer and have it checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section

with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you

do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level

section is suddenly played.

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 questions or problems concerning

your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• Clean the cabinets of the surround amplifier only with

a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or

benzene.

On cleaning discs, disc/lens

cleaners

• Do not use cleaning discs or disc/lens cleaners

(including wet or spray types). These may cause the

apparatus to malfunction.

On your TV’s colour

• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have

colour irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on

after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should

persist, place the speakers further away from the TV

set.

The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the

control unit.

On moving the system

When you carry the system, use the following

procedure to protect the inner mechanism.

About S-AIR function

• As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio

waves, sound may skip when radio waves are

obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and

is not malfunction.

• As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio

waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic

energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with

sound transmission.

• As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share

the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as

wireless LAN or Bluetooth, interference or poor

transmission may result. In this case, take the

following steps:

– Do not install the system near other wireless

systems.

– Do not use the system and the other wireless

systems at the same time.

• The transmission distance differs depending on the

usage environment. Find a location where

transmission between the S-AIR main unit and S-AIR

sub unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main

unit and S-AIR sub unit there.

About the surround amplifier

• The nameplate is located on the side exterior.

On handling discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its

edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in

a car parked in direct sunlight as the

temperature may rise considerably inside the

car.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning

cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl LPs.

This system can only play back a standard

circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular

discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause

a malfunction.

Do not use a disc that has a commercially

available accessory attached, such as a label or

ring.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still

video image or on-screen display image on your

television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still

video image or on-screen display image displayed

on your TV for an extended period of time you risk

permanent damage to your television screen.

Projection televisions are especially susceptible to

this.

Symptom Remedy

There is no picture. • The video connecting cords are not connected securely.

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

• The control unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 26).

• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from

the system.

• Check the output method on your system (page 36).

• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in

progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the

default setting) (page 37).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p) signals,

• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, change the type of video

signal output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem

(page 36).

Connect the TV and the control unit using a video jack other than the

HDMI OUT, and switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so

that you can see the on-screen displays. Change the type of video signal

output from the HDMI OUT jack, and switch the TV’s input back to

HDMI. If the picture still does not appear, repeat the steps and try other

options.

Picture noise appears. • The disc is dirty or flawed.

• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to

your TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs

could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems even when

you connect your control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your

control unit to your TV’s video input (except for the HDMI jack)

(page 26).

Even though you set the aspect ratio in

[TV TYPE] of [VIDEO SETUP], the

picture does not fill the TV screen.

• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

Colour irregularity occurs on the TV

screen.

The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically

shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur,

as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following

items:

• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the

speakers at least 0.3 m from the TV set.

• If the colour irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on

after 15 to 30 minutes.

• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers further away from the TV set.

• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health

care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed

by Sony to automatically measure and adjust the

speaker settings to your listening environment in

a short period of time.

Dolby Digital

This movie theatre sound format is more

advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In

this format, the surround speakers output stereo

sound with an expanded frequency range, and a

subwoofer channel for deep bass is

independently provided. This format is also

called “5.1” with the subwoofer channel

designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions

only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six

channels in this format are recorded separately

for superior channel separation. Furthermore,

since all the signals are processed digitally, less

signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates 5 full-bandwidth

output channels from 2 channel sources. This is

done using an advanced, high-purity matrix

surround decoder that extracts the spatial

properties of the original recording without

adding any new sounds or tonal colourations.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television

shows and all programs encoded in Dolby

Surround. The result is enhanced sound field

directionality that approaches the quality of

discrete 5.1-channel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music

recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound

space.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology

developed by DTS, Inc. This technology

conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format

comprises of stereo rear channel and there is

discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS

provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high

quality digital audio. The good channel

separation is realized due to the all channel data

being recorded discretely and processed in

digitally.

HDMI (High-definition multimedia

interface)

HDMI is an interface that supports both video

and audio on a single digital connection,

allowing you to enjoy high quality digital

picture and sound. The HDMI specification

supports HDCP (high-bandwidth digital

contents protection), a copy protection

technology that incorporates coding technology

for digital video signals.

Interlace format

(Interlaced scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard

method for displaying TV images at 30 frames

per second. Each frame is scanned twice -

alternately between the even numbered scanning

lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Parental Control

A DVD function to limit playback of the disc by

users of a predetermined age according to the

limitation level in each country. The limitation

varies from disc to disc; when it is activated,

playback is completely prohibited, violent

scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes,

etc.

Progressive format

(Sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the

progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames

per second by reproducing all scanning lines

(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall

picture quality increases and still images, text

and horizontal lines appear sharper.

S-AIR

(Sony Audio Interactive Radio

frequency)

Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD

media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high-

quality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high-

quality media are transmitted with no

deterioration, Sony has developed a technology

called “S-AIR” for the radio transmission of

digital audio signals with no compression, and

has incorporated this technology into the

EZW-RT10/EZW-T100.

This technology transfers digital audio signals

with no compression using the 2.4 GHz band

range of ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and

Medical band), such as wireless LANs and

Bluetooth applications.
