This connection sends both video and audio signals.
Method 2: HDMI* cable (B) and SCART (EURO AV) cable (A) connection
If your TV has an HDMI jack, connect to the TV both with an HDMI cable and SCART (EURO AV)
cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the SCART (EURO AV) connection.
To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the
SCART (EURO AV) cable. Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output
via the HDMI OUT jack.
* HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
Digital optical cord (C) or digital coaxial cord (D) connection
When the TV has a digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting
with a digital optical or coaxial cord in addition to the SCART (EURO AV) connection.
Note
• The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL
has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
section is suddenly played.
Additional Information
Precautions
On power sources
• 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 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 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.
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 TV’s 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.
• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may
block the ventilation slots.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still
• Do not install the system near heat sources such as
radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct

shock.
video image or on-screen display image on your
television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still
video image or on-screen display image displayed
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk
permanent damage to your television screen.
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to
this.
• 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.
On moving the system
Before moving the system, make sure that there is no
disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains).
• 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.
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.
• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you
don’t, 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.
• 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:
Notes about the Discs
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
– 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).
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
• 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.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or

Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer
(DAV-DZ880W only)
DRM:
Design and specifications are subject to change
without notice.
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
S-AIR
(Sony Audio Interactive Radio
frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD
media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high-
quality media.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
playback is completely prohibited, violent
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes
and so on.
