Connections  
1: Installing the speakers  
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel  
system (7 speakers and one subwoofer).  
Example of speaker system  
configuration  
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).  
You can enjoy high fidelity reproduction of  
DVD software recorded sound in the Surround  
EX format if you connect additional one  
surround back speaker (6.1 channel) or two  
surround back speakers (7.1 channel).  
You can enjoy vertical sound effects if you  
connect additional two front high speakers  
(7.1 channel) in PLIIz mode (page 66).

Tips  
• When you connect a 7.1 channel speaker system  
with two surround back speakers, all angle A  
should be the same.  
• When you connect a 7.1 channel speaker system  
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.

: Video signals are upconverted and output.  
As the initial setting, video signals input from the connected component are output as shown in the  
table above. We recommend that you set the video conversion function to match the resolution of  
the monitor you are using. For details, see “Video Settings menu” (page 97).  
• Converted HDMI image output does not  
support x.v.Color (x.v.Colour), Deep Color  
(Deep Colour) and 3D image.  
Notes on converting video  
signals  
• 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.  
• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to  
component video signals and video signals.  
• The converted video signals are not output  
from the MONITOR VIDEO OUT and  
COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT  
jack.  
To connect a recording  
component  
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.  
Note  
Signals output from the HDMI TV OUT or  
MONITOR OUT jacks may not be recorded  
properly.  
• 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  
improvement circuit function to off.  
• The resolution of the signals output to the  
HDMI TV OUT jacks are converted up to  
1080p.  
• 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 TV OUT jack has no  
restriction on resolution.

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  
during adjustment.  
To output test tone from each  
speaker  
You can output test tone from the speakers in  
sequence.  
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  
center, surround, and front high speakers are also  
automatically set to “Small”.

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.

A surround sound mode that can be regarded  
as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound  
technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing  
theater using three technologies: “Virtual  
Multi Dimensions”, “Screen Depth  
The number of colors that could be expressed  
by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with  
the current HDMI jack. However, the number  
of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel  
will be 36, etc., bits when the receiver  
corresponds to Deep Color (Deep Colour).  
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.  
Matching”, and “Cinema Studio  
Reverberation”.  
“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.

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It  
consists of front (left/right), center, surround  
(left/right) and subwoofer channels. It is a  
designated audio standard for DVD video and  
also known as 5.1 channel surround. Since  
surround information is recorded and  
reproduced in stereo, more realistic sound with  
fuller presence is delivered than with Dolby  
surround.  
x Component video  
A format for transmitting video signal  
information consisting of three separate  
signals: luminance Y, chrominance Pb, and  
chrominance Pr. High quality pictures, such as  
DVD video or HDTV pictures, are transmitted  
more faithfully. The three jacks are color -  
coded green, blue and red.

stereo channels. When reproduced, audio is  
decoded and output in 4 channels surround  
sound. This is the most common audio  
processing method for DVD video.  
x Dolby TrueHD  
x Dolby Digital Surround EX  
Acoustic technology developed by Dolby  
Laboratories, Inc. Surround back information  
is matrixed into regular left and right surround  
channels so that the sound can be reproduced  
in 6.1 channel. Active scenes, especially, are  
recreated with a more dynamic and realistic  
sound field.  
Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s lossless audio  
technology developed for high-definition  
optical discs. Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-for-  
bit identical to the original studio masters and  
provides supreme-quality audio up to 8  
channel at 96 kHz/24 bit and up to 6 channel at  
192 kHz/24 bit. Together with high-definition  
video, it offers an unprecedented home theater  
experience.  
x Dolby Pro Logic II  
This technology converts 2 channel stereo  
recorded audio into 5.1 channel for playback.

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  
Surround compatibility. There are two kinds of  
DTS-HD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio  
and DTS-HD Master Audio. DTS-HD High  
Resolution Audio has a maximum  
x LFE (Low Frequency Effects)

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.  
transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with lossy  
compression (Lossy), and DTS-HD High  
Resolution Audio corresponds to a maximum  
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and a  
maximum of 7.1 channel. DTS-HD Master  
Audio has the maximum transmission rate of  
24.5 Mbps, and uses lossless compression  
(Lossless), and DTS-HD Master Audio  
corresponds to a maximum sampling  
frequency of 192 kHz, and a maximum of  
7.1 channel.  
x PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
A method of converting analog audio to digital  
audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.  
x Progressive  
A scanning method that draws all scanning  
lines sequentially, as opposed to interlaced  
scanning where all the odd and then all the  
even lines are drawn.  
x DTS Neo:6  
This technology converts 2 channel stereo  
recorded audio for 7 channel playback. There  
are two modes to select according to the  
playback source or your preference, CINEMA  
for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources  
such as music.  
“p” of “480p” stands for “Progressive”.  
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.  
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.  
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 High Bitrate Audio  
It refers to the audio formats of the  
compression method (DTS-HD Master Audio,  
Dolby TrueHD, etc.) which is a high bitrate  
format recorded mainly on Blu-ray disc etc.

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 brilliant colors of flowers and the turquoise  
blue of the southern ocean.  
• 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.  
120GB

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).
