On power sources
• Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage is identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear of the subwoofer.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the
purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet
(mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.

On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system
at a large volume, the system temperature of the back
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer
that might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,

and picture quality may suffer. This is especially
likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off
and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity on
a nearby TV screen
The system is magnetically shielded to allow it to be
installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities
may still be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30
minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the system further away from the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. 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
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

position (1). Sony recommends that the
subwoofer should be placed (2).
Close to a wall
Place speakers and subwoofer as illustrated
below.

Notes
• For details on connecting to components without HDMI jacks, see page 18.
• The HDMI jack has priority when you connect the component to the system using the HDMI input jacks and other
input jacks at the same time.
Notes on HDMI connections
• You can enjoy high quality images using an HDMI cable with an HDMI logo. Sony recommends that
you use a Sony HDMI cable.
• Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a
component connected via the HDMI cable.
• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be
suppressed by the connected component.
• Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency or the number of channels of audio output
signals from the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the
image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may be not output.
In this case, check the specification of the connected component.
• Sony does not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.
• Regardless of which input is selected for the system, video signals from the input jack selected the
last time are output from the HDMI TV OUT jack.

depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted
horizontally, or no image may be output.
• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to component video signals.
• The up-converted video signals are output only from the HDMI OUT jack. They are not output from
any other video jacks.
• When you play back a VCR with an image improvement circuit, such as TBC, the images may be
distorted or may not be output. In this case, set the image improvement circuit function to off.

Dolby Pro Logic II produces five full-bandwidth

properties of the original recording without
adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
To turn the surround effect off

Tip
• When the input signal is multi channel source, Dolby

• The sound fields memorized for each input are
retained even if you disconnect the AC power cord
(mains lead).
Whenever you select a function such as “DVD” or
“TUNER,” the sound field that was last applied to
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE
as the sound field, then change to another function,
and then return to DVD, Dolby Pro Logic II MOVIE
will be applied again.
• When the bilingual broadcast sound is input, Dolby

Preparing for the
“BRAVIA” Sync
“BRAVIA” Sync features
What is “BRAVIA” Sync?
To use the “BRAVIA” Sync, set the Control for
HDMI function to on for the system and the
connected component.
When you connect a Sony TV with the Control
for HDMI function, the Control for HDMI
function for the system and the connected
component can be set simultaneously by setting
the Control for HDMI function of the TV.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an
HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as below:
• One-Touch Play: When you play back a
component such as a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player
(recorder), the system and the TV are turned on
automatically and switch to the appropriate
HDMI input.
• System Audio Control: While watching TV,
you can select to output the sound from the TV
speaker or the speakers of the system.
• System Power Off: When you turn off the TV,
the system and the connected components are
also turned off simultaneously.

Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(Except for Australian models)
What is the Radio Data
System?
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows radio stations to send
additional information along with the regular
program signal. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features, such as station name display. RDS
is available only for FM stations.*
Note
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are
tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly,
or if the signal strength is weak.
* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do
they provide the same type of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS system, check with your local
radio stations for details on RDS services in your
area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the station name* appears in the top
panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name
will not appear in the top panel display.
Tip
• When a station name is displayed, you can check the
frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.

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
EZWRT10/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.

efficiency and improved thermal performance.

standard for color space in video.

than the currently used broadcast standard.
