Installing the speakers on a wall  
Caution  
• Contact a screw shop or installer for information regarding the wall material or screws to be used.  
• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach  
the screws securely to a beam. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.  
• Sony is not responsible for accidents or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or  
improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.  
Before installing the speakers on a wall, connect the speaker cord to the speaker.  
Be sure to match the speaker cords to the appropriate terminals on the speakers: the speaker cord with  
the color tube to 3, and the speaker cord without the color tube to #.

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.  
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.

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.

Notes about the Discs  
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.  
• 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.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
On cleaning  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth.  
Wipe the disc from the center out.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
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 use a disc that has a commercially  
available accessory attached, such as a label or  
ring.

Remedy  
There is no picture.  
• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.  
• The video connecting cords are damaged.  
• The unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 26).  
• The video input on the TV is not set so that you can view pictures from the  
system.  
• Check the output method on your system (page 26).  
• You have set progressive format but your TV cannot accept the signal in  
progressive format. In this case, return the setting to interlace format (the  
default setting) (page 35).  
• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p/625p) signals, the  
image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case, return the  
setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 35).  
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.  
• The unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel does not  
light up) (page 26).  
• If the HDMI OUT jack is used for video output, change the type of video signal  
output from the HDMI OUT jack. It may solve the problem (page 35).  
Connect the TV and the unit using a video jack other than the HDMI OUT, and  
switch the TV’s input to the connected video input so that you can see the on-  
screen displays. Change the type of video signal output from the HDMI OUT  
jack, and switch the TV’s input back to HDMI. If the picture still does not  
appear, repeat the Steps and try other options.  
• You have set [PROGRESSIVE (COMPONENT OUT)] in [VIDEO SETUP] to  
[ON] (page 60) even though your TV cannot accept the progressive signal. In  
this case, disconnect the HDMI cable from the unit and then set it to [OFF].  
• If you are using the “DMPORT” function, the video signal is output from the  
VIDEO OUT jack only.  
Picture noise appears.  
• The disc is dirty or flawed.  
• If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your  
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some DVD programs could affect  
picture quality. If you experience problems when you connect your unit through  
your VCR, try connecting your unit to your TV’s video input directly (page 26).

When color irregularity occurs on the TV screen, check the following items.  
• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers  
at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set.  
• If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15  
to 30 minutes.  
• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.  
• Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care  
device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.

Glossary  
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration  
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration was developed  
by Sony to automatically measure and adjust the  
speaker settings to your listening environment in  
a short period of time.  
Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer  
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  
playback is completely prohibited, violent  
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes  
and so on.  
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music  
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound  
space.  
Progressive format  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic  
(sequential scanning)  
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.  
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. This format  
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive  
format.  
S-AIR  
(Sony Audio Interactive Radio  
frequency)  
DTS  
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-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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
x Super Audio CD types  
Parental Control  
There are two types of discs, depending on the  
Super Audio CD layer and CD layer  
combination.
