Before you perform Auto  
Calibration  
7: Calibrating the  
appropriate settings  
automatically  
Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set  
up and connect the speakers (page 15, 18).  
• 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.  
(AUTO CALIBRATION)  
This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital  
Cinema Auto Calibration) Technology which  
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.*  
* The measurement result is not utilized for signals  
with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz.  
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 “To adjust  
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

Tip  
Audio dynamic range compression lets you  
compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack 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.  
Notes  
• You may not be able to adjust the delay between  
sound and image perfectly using this function.  
• This function is useful only for Dolby Digital, DTS  
and Linear PCM (2ch) input by optical and coaxial  
audio input signals.

Glossary  
x Deep Colour  
• FL DIST, CNT DIST, FR DIST,  
SR DIST, SL DIST, SW DIST  
Video signals for which the colour depth of  
signals passing through an HDMI jack have  
been raised.  
The number of colours that could be expressed  
by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colours)  
with the current HDMI jack. However, the  
number of colours which can be expressed by  
1 pixel will be 36 bits, etc., when the receiver  
corresponds to Deep Colour.  
Notes  
• “CNT DIST” does not appear when you set  
“CENTER NO” in the “SP SETUP” setting.  
• “SR DIST” and “SL DIST” do not appear  
when you set “SUR NO” in the “SP SETUP”  
setting.  
2 Press V/v repeatedly to set the  
speaker distance, then press  
.
Since the gradation of the depth of a colour can  
be expressed more finely with more bits,  
continuous colour changes can be more  
smoothly expressed.  
You can adjust from 0M 0CM to 7M 0CM.  
Tip  
When the Auto Calibration result is saved, you  
can adjust the speakers distance in 1 cm steps. If  
the Auto Calibration result is not saved, you can  
adjust the speakers distance in 10 cm steps.  
x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)  
A unique sound reproduction technology for  
home theater developed by Sony, in  
cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment,  
for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound  
of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital  
Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a  
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured  
data, the ideal sound field intended by  
3 Repeat step 1 and 2 to adjust the other  
speaker distance.  
filmmakers can be experienced at home.  
x 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.

x Dolby Pro Logic II  
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.  
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 colourations.  
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.  
x Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro  
Logic)  
Audio processing technology developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono  
surround information is matrixed into two  
stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is  
decoded and output in 4 channel surround  
sound. This is the most common audio  
processing method for DVD-video.  
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.  
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.  
On power sources  
• Before operating the receiver, check that the  
operating voltage is identical with your local  
power supply.  
x x.v.Colour  
“x.v.Colour” enables the more faithful  
reproduction of various colours such as the  
brilliant colours of flowers and the turquoise  
blue of the southern ocean.  
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 (mains lead), grasp the plug  
itself; never pull the cord.  
“x.v.Colour” is a promotion name given to the  
products that have the capability to realize a  
wide colour space based on the xvYCC  
specifications and is a trademark of Sony  
Corporation.  
xvYCC is an international standard of the  
technical specifications of the extended-gamut  
colour space for video signals. The colour  
gamut of xvYCC is wider than the one of  
sRGB that is used with the current television  
system.  
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be  
changed only at a qualified service shop.  
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.  
continued

On placement  
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate  
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and  
prolong the life of the receiver.  
If colour irregularity is observed  
again...  
Place the speaker further away from the TV  
set.  
• 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.  
• 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 (aerial). Therefore, we recommend  
using an outdoor antenna (aerial).  
If howling occurs  
Reposition the speakers or turn down the  
volume on the receiver.  
On cleaning  
• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a  
soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of  
abrasive pad, scouring powder, scrubbing  
brush or sponge.  
• If it is stained with oil or fingerprints, breath  
on the surface and wipe it with soft dry cloth.  
On S-AIR function  
• Use caution when placing the receiver or  
speakers on surfaces that have been specially  
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as  
staining or discolouration of the surface may  
result.  
• 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 interfere with sound  
transmission.  
On operation  
Before connecting other components, be sure  
to turn off and unplug the receiver.  
• 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, interference or poor  
transmission may result. In this case, take  
the following steps:  
If you encounter colour  
irregularity on a nearby TV  
screen  
The center speaker is magnetically shielded to  
allow it to be installed near a TV set. However,  
colour irregularities may still be observed on  
certain types of TV sets. As the front speakers,  
surround speakers and subwoofer are not  
magnetically shielded, we recommend that  
you place them slightly further away from TV  
– Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near  
other wireless systems.  
– Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the  
other wireless systems at the same time.  
– 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).  
If colour irregularity is  
observed...  
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after  
15 to 30 minutes.

• The transmission distance differs depending  
on the usage 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.  
Troubleshooting  
If you experience any of the following  
difficulties while using the receiver, use this  
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the  
problem.  
• 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).
