Precautions

On safety

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the system, or place the system near water, such as near a bathtub or shower room.

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel belk)m operating it any further.

• Do not touch the AC power cord (mains lead) with wet hands.

Doing so may cause an electric shock.

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 placement

• Phtce the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

• At high volmne, over long periods of time, the can net becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfuuction.

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 amplil'ier.

If the ventilation slots are blocked, the system can overheat and malfunction.

• Do not place the system on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the system in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

• Do not install the system near heat sources such as radiators, air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

• Do not install the system in an inclined posifion.

It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.

• Keep the system and discs away from components with strong nlaguets, such as nlicrowave ()veils, or large loudspeakers.

• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

• Do not place metal objects in front of the front paneh

They may limit reception of radio waves (BDV-

HZ970W only).

• Do not place the system in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical equipment (BDV-HZ970W only).

• If" you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your physician or the manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless LAN function (BDV-HZ970W only).

On operation

• If" the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm locatiom 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.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you do not, 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.

On adjusting volume

• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very lo,_ level inputs or no audio signals.

If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is suddenly played.

About S-AIR function

• As the S-AIR products transmit 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 products transmit sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave ()veil, l]rlay prevent wireless transmission.

• As the S-AIR products use the radio waves that share the same lYequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or poor transmission may occur.

In this case, take the following steps to enhance the transmission of signals:

Avoid placing the S-AIR products near other wireless systems.

Avoid using the S-AIR products and the other wireless systems simultaneously.

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).

• The trausmission distance difl_rs depending on the usage environment.

Find locations 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 products on a stable surface.

• Poor transmission may occur and the transmission distance may be too short if the following conditions exist:

There is a wall/floor made of reinforced concrete or stone between the S-AIR products.

There is an iron divideNdoor or fumiturc/electric product made of fireproof glass, metal, etc., between the S-AIR products.

AVCHD

The AVCHD t_nnat is a high-definition digital video camera format used to record SD

(standard definition) or HD (high definition) signals of either the 1080i specification* or the

720p specification** on DVDs, using efficient data compression coding technology.

The

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

lbnnat is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or

Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compression format.

The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

format enables a high definition (HD) video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs in the same way as it would be for a standard definition (SD) television signal.

* A high definition specification that utilizes 1080 effective scanning lines and the interlace format.

** A high definition specification that utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive format.

BD.J

Dolby Digital Plus

Developed its an extension to Dolby Digital, the audio coding technology supports 7.1 multichannel surround sound.

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.

• 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.

Compared the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby

Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right with panning more naturally more precisely.

To take and full localizes advantage

Surround sounds of Dolby

Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker.

The surround speakers output monaural sound.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding technology that supports up to 8 channels of multi-channel surround sound for the next generation of optical discs. The reproduced sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology developed by DTS, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1 -channel surround.

This format includes 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 in digitally.

DTS Neo:6

This technology converts 2 channels stereo recorded audio for 7 channels 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 lilUSiC.

DTS.HD

HDMI (High.Definition

Interface)

Multimedia

HDMI is an interface that supports both vide() 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.

Interlace

(interlaced format scanning)

The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 flames per second.

Each fiame is scanned twice alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at

60 times per second.

Parental Control

A function of the BD/DVD to limit playback of

the disc by the age of the 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.

PhotoTV HD

"PhotoTV HD" allows t_r highly-detailed pictmes, and photo-like expression of subtle textures and colors. By connecting Sony

"PhotoTV HD" compatible devices using an

HDMI cable, a whole new world of photos can be enjoyed in breathtaking Full HD quality.

For instance, the delicate texture of the human skin, flowers, sand and waves can now be displayed on a large screen in beautiful photo-like quality.

Pop-up menu

An enhanced menu operation available on BD-

ROMs.

The pop-up menu appears when POP

UP/MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress.

Progressive

(sequential format scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive format can reproduce 50 - 60 frames per second by reproducing all scanning lines

(525 lines l_r the NTSC system).

The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper.

This t_rmat is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format,

S-AIR

(Sony Audio Interactive frequency)

Radio

Recent times have seen the rapid spread of BD/

DVD media, digital broadcasting, and other high-quality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these highquality media are transmitted with no deterioration, Sony has developed a technology called "S-AIR" t_r the radio transmission of digital audio signals with no compression, and has incorporated this technology into the EZW-

RT 10/EZW-RT 10A/EZW-T 100.

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.

24p True Cinema

Movies shot with a fihn camera consist of 24 fiames per second.

Since conventional televisions (both CRT and flat panels) display fiames either at 1/60 or 1/50 second intervals, the 24 fiames do not appear at an even pace.

When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities, the player displays each fiame at 1/24 second intervals -the same interval originally shot with the fihn camera, thus faithfully reproducing the original cinema image.
