Getting Started
1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel
system (7 speakers and one subwoofer).
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of
DVD or Blu-ray disc software recorded sound
in the Surround EX format if you connect one
additional surround back speaker (6.1 channel
system) or two surround back speakers (7.1
channel system).
Enjoying a 5.1/7.1 channel
system
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel
surround sound requires five speakers (two
front speakers, a center speaker, and two
surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1
channel).

Tips
• When you connect a 7.1 channel speaker system,
the angle A should be the same.
• 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.

HDMI features
Connecting components with
HDMI jacks
• A digital audio signals transmitted by HDMI
can be output from the speakers connected to
the receiver. This signal supports Dolby
Digital, DTS, and Linear PCM.
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.
• The receiver can receive Multi Linear PCM
(up to 8 channels) with a sampling frequency
of 192 kHz or less with an HDMI
connection.
• Analog video signals input to the VIDEO
jack or COMPONENT VIDEO jacks can be
up-converted as HDMI signals. Audio
signals are not output from an HDMI OUT
jack when the image is converted.
• This receiver supports High Bitrate Audio
(DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD),
Deep Color and x.v.Color transmission,
extended by HDMI version 1.3.
• This receiver supports the Control for HDMI
function. For details, see ““BRAVIA” Sync
Features” (page 93).
• HDMI 3 input has a better sound quality.
When you need a higher sound quality,
connect your component to the HDMI IN 3
(for AUDIO) jack and select HDMI 3 as
input.
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 digital cord to listen to the
TV multi channel surround sound
broadcasting from the receiver.
By connecting Sony “BRAVIA” Sync
compatible components using HDMI cables,
““BRAVIA” Sync Features” makes
operations simpler (page 93).
Notes
• Be sure to change the factory setting of the HDMI
1–4 input button on the remote so that you can use
the button to control your components. For details,
• You can also rename the HDMI input so that it can
be displayed on the receiver’s display. For details,

• Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit
length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack
may be suppressed by the connected
component. Check the setup of the
connected component if the image is poor or
the sound does not come out of a component
connected via the HDMI cable.
• Sound may be interrupted when the
sampling frequency, the number of channels
or audio format of audio output signals from
the playback component is switched.
• When the connected component is not
compatible with copyright protection
technology (HDCP), the image and/or the
sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be
distorted or may not be output.
Notes on connecting cables
• We recommend that you use an HDMI cable
with the HDMI logo (made by Sony) for the
HDMI jack corresponding to high speed (an
HDMI version 1.3a, category 2 cable) when
you view images or listen to sound during a
Deep Color transmission or when you watch
a video image of 1080p or higher.
• We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable. When you connect an
HDMI-DVI conversion cable to a DVI-D
component, the sound and/or the image may
not be output. Connect other audio cords or
digital connecting cords, then set “Input
Assign” in the Input Option menu when the
sound is not output correctly.
In this case, check the specification of the
connected component.
• You can enjoy High Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD
Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD), multi
channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI
connection.
• Set the image resolution of the playback
component to more than 720p to enjoy High
Bitrate Audio (DTS-HD Master Audio,
Dolby TrueHD).
• The image resolution of playback
component may need certain settings be
made before you can enjoy multi channel
Linear PCM. Refer to the operating
instructions of the playback component.
• Not every HDMI component supports all
functions that are defined by the specified
HDMI version. For example, components
that support HDMI, version 1.3a, may not
support Deep Color.
Notes on HDMI connections
• An audio signal input to the HDMI IN jack
is output from the SPEAKERS jacks and
HDMI OUT jack. It is not output from any
other audio jacks.
• A video signal input to the HDMI IN jack
can only be output from the HDMI OUT
jack. The video input signals cannot be
output from the VIDEO OUT jacks or
MONITOR OUT jacks.
• The audio and video signals of HDMI input
are not output from the HDMI OUT jack
while the receiver menu is displayed.
• When you want to listen to the sound from
the TV speaker, set “Audio Out” to
“TV+AMP” in the HDMI Settings menu
(page 81). If you cannot play back multi
channel audio source, set to “AMP”.
However, the sound will not output from the
TV speaker.
• Refer to the operating instructions of each
connected component for details.
• DSD signals of Super Audio CD are not

Notes on converting video
signals
To connect a recording
component
• When video signals from a VCR, etc., are
converted on this receiver and then output to
your TV, depending on the status of the
video signal output, the image on the TV
screen may appear distorted horizontally or
no image may be output.
When recording, connect the recording
component to the VIDEO OUT jacks of the
receiver. Connect cords for input and output
signals to the same type of jack, as VIDEO
OUT jacks do not have an up-conversion
function.
• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to
component video signals and video signals.
• When you play back a VCR with an image
improvement circuit, such as TBC, the
images may be distorted or may not be
output. In this case, set the image
Note

OUT jacks may not be recorded properly.
improvement circuit function to off.
• The resolution of the signals output to the
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks and HDMI OUT jack are converted up
to 1080i.
• COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks have restrictions on resolution when
the resolution of video signals protected by
copyright technology is converted.
Resolution of up to 480p can be output to the
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT
jacks. The HDMI OUT jack has no
restriction on resolution.
• Video signals for which the resolution has
been converted cannot be output from either
the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR
OUT jacks or the HDMI OUT jack. The
video signals are output from the HDMI
OUT jack when both are connected.
To display Closed Caption
Set “Resolution” to “DIRECT” in the Video

• Large
.
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “Large”. Normally, select “Large”.
• Small
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack
of surround effects when using multi
channel surround sound, select “Small” to
activate the bass redirection circuitry and
output the bass frequencies of each
channel from the subwoofer or other
“Large” speakers.
To adjust the distance from the
seating position to each
speaker
You can adjust the distance from the listening
position to each speaker (front left/right,
center, surround left/right, surround back left/
right, subwoofer).
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.
1 Press V/v/B/b repeatedly to select the
speaker on the screen for which you
want to adjust the distance from the
seating position, then press
.
2 Press B/b repeatedly to select “Dist:”.
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”.
3 Press V/v repeatedly to set the
distance of the selected speaker, then
press
.
You can adjust the distance from 3 feet
3 inches to 32 feet 9 inches (1.00 meter to
10.00 meters) in 1 inch (0.01 meter) steps.
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.
To adjust the size of each
speaker
• 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
center, surround, and surround back speakers are
also automatically set to “Small”.
You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/right,

with Dolby TrueHD source or other source
is set to “OFF”.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
Tips
• 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.

corresponds to Deep Color.
Matching”, and “Cinema Studio
Reverberation”.
Since the gradation of the depth of a color can
be expressed more finely with more bits,
continuous color changes can be more
smoothly expressed.
“Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual
speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-
surround environment with actual speakers up
to 7.1 channel, and brings the surround sound
experience of a theater with the latest facilities
into your home.
“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble
attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound
usually created in a theater using sound
emission from behind the screen. This is then
added to the front and center channels.
“Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces
the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art
dubbing theaters and recording studios,
including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s
dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.

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.
Precautions
On safety
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be
changed only at a qualified service shop.
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.
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.
x x.v.Color
“x.v.Color” enables the more faithful
reproduction of various colors such as the
brilliant colors of flowers and the turquoise
blue of the southern ocean.

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.
• 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.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any of the following
difficulties while using the receiver, use this
troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the
problem. Should any problem persist, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
Audio
