Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW
In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system
due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording
device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, refer to the operating
instructions for the recording device.
Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have
been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA-CDs/
DATA-DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some
record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the
CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital
audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback
on this product is not guaranteed.

subsequent MP3 files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
• This system can play a Multi Session CD when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session.
Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.
• If MP3 files and JPEG image files in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first
session, only the first session will be played back.

Your system has a region code printed on the bottom of the control unit and will only play a DVD
labeled with the same region code.
ALL
A DVD VIDEO labeled
will also play on this system.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will
appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even
though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Note about playback operations of a DVD and VIDEO CD
Some playback operations of a DVD and VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers.
Since this system will play a DVD or VIDEO CD according to the disc contents the software producers
designed, some playback features may not be available. Be sure to read the operating instructions
supplied with the DVD or VIDEO CD.

Installing the speakers on the wall
Before installing the speakers on the wall, you need to decide which surround speakers connection you
want. You can connect your surround speakers in 2 different ways.
A Connect surround speakers to S-AIR surround amplifier (wireless connection)
B Connect surround speakers to subwoofer (wired connection)
Sony recommends you to use wireless connection for this system. For details, see “Step 2: Connecting
The surround speakers supplied are for wireless connection. If you want to change to wired connection,
you need to change the surround speaker cords. For details on changing the speaker cords, see step
2 to 4 of “Installing the speakers to the wall” below.

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.*
This function is available on TVs with the
“BRAVIA” Sync function only.
By connecting Sony components that are
compatible with the Control for HDMI function
with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is
simplified as below:
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.
Control for HDMI is a mutual control function
standard used by CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) for HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface).
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 front
panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name
will not appear in the front panel display.
The Control for HDMI function will not work in
the following cases:
– When you connect this system to a
component which is not compatible with the
Control for HDMI function.
Tip
• When a station name is displayed, you can check the
frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.
– A component does not have an HDMI jack.
There are convenient buttons on the system’s

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 control 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.
Additional Information
Precautions
On power sources
• Unplug the subwoofer 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.
• 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
subwoofer and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
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 touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do
not place the control unit 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 control unit can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the control unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies)
that may block the ventilation slots.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section
with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you
do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level
section is suddenly played.
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.
• Clean the cabinets of the surround amplifier only with
a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzene.
• Do not install the control unit near heat sources such
as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
• Do not install the control unit in an inclined position.
It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position
only.
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.
• Keep the control unit and discs away from component
with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or
large loudspeakers.
• Do not place anything on the control unit and the
subwoofer.
On your TV’s colour
• If the speakers should cause the TV screen to have
colour irregularity, turn off the TV then turn it on
after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity should
persist, place the speakers further away from the TV
set.
• If you use more than one set of S-AIR products,
position them away from each other to avoid cross
talk.
• Install this surround amplifier and S-AIR products at
least 50 cm away from people.
• If you use more than one surround amplifier, do not
place one on top of the other.

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.
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
The nameplate is located on the bottom exterior of the
control unit.
On moving the system
When you carry the system, use the following
procedure to protect the inner mechanism.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in
a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside the
car.
1 Press Z to remove a disc.
Make sure that the disc is removed from the
control unit.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
2 Press "/1 to turn off the power.
On cleaning
3 Remove the AC power cord (mains lead)
from the wall outlet (mains).
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
About S-AIR function
• As the S-AIR function 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 function transmits sound by radio
waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic
energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with
sound transmission.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share
the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as
wireless LAN or Bluetooth, interference or poor
transmission may result. In this case, take the
following steps:
This system can only play back a standard
circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular
discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause
a malfunction.
– Do not install the system near other wireless
systems.
– Do not use the system and the other wireless
systems at the same time.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially
available accessory attached, such as a label or
ring.
• The transmission distance differs depending on the
usage environment. Find a location where
transmission between the S-AIR main unit and S-AIR
sub unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main
unit and S-AIR sub unit there.

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.

DTS
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-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.
Digital audio compression technology
developed by DTS, Inc. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format
comprises of stereo rear channel and there is
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. 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 in
digitally.
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
contents protection), a copy protection
technology that incorporates coding technology
for digital video signals.
Interlace format
(Interlaced scanning)
The Interlace format is the NTSC standard
method for displaying TV images at 30 frames
per second. Each frame is scanned twice -
alternately between the even numbered scanning
lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at
60 times per second.
Parental Control
A DVD function to limit playback of the disc by
users of a predetermined age 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,
etc.
Progressive format
(Sequential scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format, the
progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames
per second by reproducing all scanning lines
(525 lines for the NTSC system). The overall
picture quality increases and still images, text
and horizontal lines appear sharper.
