with two front high speakers, place the front high
speakers
– at an angle between 22° to 45°.
– at least 3.3 feet (1 meter) directly above the front
speakers.
• When you connect a 6.1 channel speaker system,
place the surround back speaker behind the
listening position.
• Since the subwoofer does not emit highly
directional signals, you can place it wherever you
want.

Test Tone
Tips
• The “Large” and “Small” settings for each speaker
determine whether the internal sound processor
will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the subwoofer or other “Large”
speakers.
However, since bass sound has a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut it, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you
can set them to “Large” if you want to output the
bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other
hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer
not to have bass frequencies output from that
speaker, set it to “Small”.
You can select the test tone type on the “Test
Tone” screen.
Tips
• To adjust the level of all speakers at the same time,
press MASTER VOL +/–. You can also use
MASTER VOLUME on the receiver.
• The adjusted value is shown on the TV screen

To output test tone from each
speaker
You can output test tone from the speakers in

If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer,
set all speakers to “Large”. If there is not enough
bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass
levels.
• The surround back speakers will be set to the same
setting as that of the surround speakers.
• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the

• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
• “STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts
light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “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.

depends on the TV’s sound quality, such as the
number of channels, and the sampling frequency,
etc. When the TV has stereo speakers, the sound
output from the receiver is also stereo as that of the
TV, even if you play back multi channel source.
• When you connect the receiver to an image display
component (projector, etc.), sound may not be
output from the receiver. In this case, select

playback channels varies depending on the
software.
x Dolby Pro Logic IIx
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.
Technology for 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel)
playback. Along with audio encoded in Dolby
Digital Surround EX, 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital encoded audio can be reproduced in
7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel). Furthermore,
existing stereo recorded content can also be
reproduced in 7.1 channel (or 6.1 channel).
x DTS-ES
Format for 6.1 channel playback with
surround back information. There are two
modes, “Discrete 6.1” which records all
channels independently, and “Matrix 6.1”
which matrixes surround back channel into
surround left and surround right channels. It is
ideal for playback of motion picture
soundtracks.
x Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Dolby Pro Logic IIz brings a vertical aspect to
the sound field through the addition of left and
right front high speakers. It decodes
nondirectional elements in the audio mix and
reproduces them from the high speakers,
giving an enhanced sense of depth and airiness
to the sound field.

x DTS-HD
x Interlace
Audio format which extends the conventional
DTS Digital Surround format.
A scanning method which completes a picture
by displaying half of the lines on a tube surface
of a TV or monitor each 1/60 second. First, all
the odd-numbered lines are drawn, leaving
spaces between each line, then all the even-
numbered lines are drawn to fill the spaces.
“i” of “480i” stands for “Interlace”.
This format consists of a core and an
extension, and the core part has DTS Digital

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
• (Models of area code U2, CA2 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.
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 make it possible to measure signals
effectively.
x x.v.Color (x.v.Colour)
x.v.Color (x.v.Colour) enables the more
faithful reproduction of various colors such as

• 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.

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.
On 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.
• 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).)
• Use caution when placing the receiver on
surfaces that have been specially treated
(with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or
discoloration of the surface may result.
• As the S-AIR function 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:
– 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).
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
• 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.
• 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:
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.
– 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).
If you have any questions or problems
concerning your receiver, please consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
