Installing the speakers on a flat  
surface  
Getting Started  
Before you install the speaker and subwoofer,  
be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the  
center speaker and subwoofer to prevent  
vibration or movement as shown in the  
illustration below.  
1: Installing the speakers  
This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel  
speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like  
multi channel surround sound, be sure to  
connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a  
center speaker, and two surround speakers)  
and a subwoofer (5.1 channel).  
Example of subwoofer  
You can place your speakers as shown below.  
AFront speaker (left)  
BFront speaker (right)  
CCenter speaker  
DSurround speaker (left)  
ESurround speaker (right)  
FSubwoofer  
Installing the speakers on the  
speaker stand  
For greater flexibility in positioning the  
speakers, use the supplied speaker stand. For  
details, refer to the supplied speaker stand  
installation guide.  
Tip  
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional  
signals, you can place it wherever you want.

caused by improper installation, insufficient wall  
strength or improper screw installation, natural  
calamity, etc.

Connecting components with  
HDMI jacks  
HDMI is the abbreviated name for High-  
Definition Multimedia Interface. It is an  
interface which transmits video and audio  
signals in digital format.  
Sony recommends that you connect  
components to the receiver using an HDMI  
cable.  
• Be sure to make DMPORT connections  
firmly, insert the connector straight in.  
• As the connector of the DIGITAL MEDIA  
PORT adapter is fragile, be sure to handle  
with care when placing or moving the  
receiver.  
• When connecting the DIGITAL MEDIA  
PORT adapter, be sure the connector is  
inserted with the arrow mark facing toward  
the arrow mark on the DMPORT jack.  
To detach the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT  
adapter, press and holed both sided of the  
connector and then pull out the connector.  
With HDMI, you can easily enjoy both high  
quality sound and high quality images.  
However, it is necessary to connect  
the audio output of the TV to the  
audio input of the receiver using an  
optical cord to listen to the TV multi  
channel surround sound  
broadcasting from the receiver.

allows you to perform automatic calibration as  
follows:  
• Check the connection between each speaker  
and the receiver.  
• Adjust the speaker level.  
• Measure the distance of each speaker from  
your listening position.  
• Measure the frequency characteristics.*  
Notes  
• Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or

humid place.  
• Do not use a new battery with old ones.  
• Do not mix manganese batteries and other kinds of  
batteries.  
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight  
or lighting apparatuses. 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.  
The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound  
balance in your room. However, you can  
adjust the speaker levels manually according  
to your preference. For details, see  
• When you replace the batteries, the remote buttons  
may be reset to their factory settings. If this  
happens, reassign the buttons again (page 60).

Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set  
up and connect the speakers (page 13, 15).  
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the  
supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not  
connect other microphones to this jack.  
Doing so may damage the receiver and the  
microphone.  
• During the calibration, the sound that comes  
out of the speakers is very loud. The volume  
of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay  
attention to the presence of children or to the  
effect on your neighborhood.  
• Perform the Auto Calibration in a quiet  
environment to avoid the effect of noise and  
to get a more accurate measurement.  
• If there are any obstacles in the path between  
the optimizer microphone and the speakers,  
the calibration cannot be performed  
correctly. Remove any obstacles from the  
measurement area to avoid measurement  
error.  
1 Connect the supplied optimizer  
microphone to the AUTO CAL  
MIC jack.  
Notes  
• If the muting function has been activated before  
you perform Auto Calibration, the muting function  
will be set to off automatically.  
• When you use the S-AIR product, disconnect the  
headphones.  
2 Set up the optimizer  
microphone.  
Place the optimizer microphone at your  
listening position.You can also use a stool  
or tripod so that the optimizer  
microphone remains at the same height as  
your ears.  
Tip  
When you face the speaker towards the optimizer  
microphone, you will get a more accurate  
measurement.

x DUAL (Digital broadcast  
language selection)  
Audio dynamic range compression lets you  
compress the dynamic range of the sound track  
based on the dynamic range information included in  
the Dolby Digital signal.  
“DRC STD” is the standard setting, but it only  
enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend  
using the “DRC MAX” setting. This greatly  
compresses the dynamic range and lets you view  
movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog  
limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a  
very natural compression.  
Lets you select the language you want to listen  
to during digital broadcast. This feature only  
functions for Dolby Digital sources.  
• MAIN (Main)  
Sound of the main language will be output.

Digital audio encoding/decoding technology  
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It  
consists of front (Left/Right), center, surround  
(Left/Right) and subwoofer channels. It is a  
designated audio standard for DVD-video and  
also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since  
surround information is recorded and  
reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with  
fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby  
surround.

x DTS Digital Surround  
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology  
for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It  
compresses audio less than Dolby Digital,  
delivering a higher quality sound  
reproduction.  
x S-master  
S-master is an all-digital amplifier technology  
developed by Sony, which effectively  
minimizes the occurrence of sound  
fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb  
dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the  
original sound. The compact amplifier section  
supports a higher power efficiency and  
improved thermal performance.  
x HDMI (High-Definition  
Multimedia Interface)  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface) 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.  
x Sampling frequency  
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data  
should be quantified. This process is called  
sampling, and the number of times per second  
the analog data is quantified is called the  
sampling frequency. A standard music CD  
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per  
second, which is expressed as a sampling  
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a  
higher sampling frequency means better sound  
quality.  
x L.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)  
Sound effects of low frequencies which are  
output from a subwoofer in Dolby Digital or  
DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a  
frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio  
becomes more powerful.  
x TSP (Time Stretched Pulse)  
A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring  
signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring  
a wide band, from low to high, in a short  
period.  
The amount of energy used to measure signals  
is important to ensure measurement accuracy  
in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP  
signals makes it possible to measure signals  
effectively.  
x 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-T100.  
x x.v.Color  
x.v.Color is a more familiar term for the  
xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a  
trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international  
standard for colour space in video.  
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.  
This standard can express a wider colour range  
than the currently used broadcast standard.

On placement  
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and  
prolong the life of the receiver.  
• Do not place the receiver 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.  
Precautions  
On safety  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the  
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
• Do not place the receiver near equipment  
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. If the  
receiver 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 receiver or  
speakers on surfaces that have been specially  
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as  
staining or discoloration of the surface may  
result.  
On power sources  
• Before operating the receiver, check that the  
operating voltage is identical with your local  
power supply.  
The operating voltage is indicated on the  
nameplate on the back of the receiver.  
• The 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 receiver for a  
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver  
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC  
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull  
the cord.  
• (Models of area code U, UC, CA only)  
One blade of the plug is wider than the other  
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the  
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact  
your dealer.  
On operation  
Before connecting other components, be sure  
to turn off and unplug the receiver.  
If you encounter color  
irregularity on a nearby TV  
screen  
• The AC power cord must be changed only at  
a qualified service shop.  
The center speaker 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. As the front, surround  
speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically  
shielded, we recommend that you place the  
surround speakers and subwoofer slightly  
further away from TV set (page 13).  
On heat buildup  
Although the receiver heats up during  
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you  
continuously use this receiver at a large  
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,  
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid  
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.  
If color irregularity is  
observed...  
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after  
15 to 30 minutes.

Error messages  
If an error message appears while you perform  
Auto Calibration, see “When error codes  
appear” (page 25) to solve the problem.  
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.  
• Check that the antennas are connected  
securely. Adjust the antennas and connect  
an external antenna, if necessary.  
• The signal strength of the stations is too  
weak (when tuning in with automatic  
tuning). Change to monaural reception  
• No stations have been preset or the preset  
stations have been cleared (when tuning by  
scanning preset stations). Preset the  
stations (page 43).  
If you are unable to remedy the  
problem using the  
troubleshooting guide  
Clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy  
the problem (page 21). However, note that all  
memorized settings will be reset to their  
factory settings and you will have to readjust  
all settings on the receiver.  
If the problem persist
