Unplug the unit 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 the touch. This is not a malfunction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the system 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 system can overheat and malfunction.

Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

Do not install the system 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 system in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

Keep the system and discs away from components with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

Do not place heavy objects on the system. 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 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 dont, the disc may be damaged.

If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit 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. 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 TVs color

If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have color irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If color irregularity should persist, place the speakers further away from the TV set. IMPORTANT NOTICE Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely.

A d d i t i o n a l I n f o r m a t i o n 81US About S-AIR function

As the S-AIR product(s) 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 product(s) transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may prevent sound transmission.

As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices it may occur interference or poor transmission as a result. In this case, take the following steps to enhance the transmission of signals:

Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near other wireless systems. Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the other wireless systems spontaneously. The transmission may be improved by changing the transmission channel (frequency) of the other wireless system(s). For details, refer to the operating instructions of the other wireless system(s).

The transmission distance differs depending on the usage of environment. Find a location where transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit and sub unit there.

Place the S-AIR product(s) on the stable surface off the floor.

Poor transmission may occur and the transmission distance may be too short if the following conditions exist:

There is a wall/floor made of reinforced concrete or stone between the S-AIR product(s). There is an iron divider/door or furniture/electric product made of fireproof glass, metal, etc., between the S-AIR product(s). Notes about the Discs 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. 82US Troubleshooting If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained. In the event of a problem with the S-AIR function, have a Sony dealer check the entire system together

A d d i t i o n a l I n f o r m a t i o n 91US Glossary 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. Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer Utilizing Sony proprietary S-master technology, the Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer features two S-master Digital Amplifiers that provide dedicated power to a strategically located subwoofer for astounding sound performance. Easy to set up, Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer provides a stable sound field over a much larger listening area without having to adjust frequency levels. Dolby Digital This movie theater 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 five 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 colorations. 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. Dolby Surround Pro Logic As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound. DTS Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format is comprised of a stereo rear channel and a discrete subwoofer channel. 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 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 Content 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 function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, 92US playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on. 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. This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format. 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-RT10A/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), also used by wireless LANs and Bluetooth applications. Super Audio CD Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format

(conventional CD is recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound. x Super Audio CD types There are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

CD layer1): A layer that is readable by a conventional CD player Single layer disc

(a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer) Super Audio CD layer Hybrid disc2)

(a disc with a Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer) CD layer3) Super Audio CD layer3) A Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2 channel area or the multi-channel area.

2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel stereo tracks are recorded

Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-

channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are recorded 2 channel area4) Multi-channel area4) Super Audio CD layer 1)You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD player. 2)Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary to turn the disc over. 3)To select a layer, see Changing a playback layer for a hybrid Super Audio CD (page 39). 4)To select an area, see Selecting a playback area for a Super Audio CD (page 39).
