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.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play a Multi Session CD when an MP3 file is contained in the first session. Any 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.

Region code

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.

A DVD VIDEO labeled

ALL

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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 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.

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 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your 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.

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.

1

Press Z to remove a disc.

Make sure that the disc is removed from the control unit.

2

Press " / 1 to turn off the power.

3

Remove the AC power cord (mains lead) from the wall outlet (mains).

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.

• 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:

– Do not install the system near other wireless systems.

– Do not use the system and the other wireless systems at the same time.

• 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the system, use this troubleshooting guide to help remedy the problem before requesting repairs. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.

In the event of a problem with S-AIR function, have a Sony dealer check the entire system together

(S-AIR main unit (control unit and subwoofer) and S-AIR sub unit).

Power

Symptom

The power is not turned on.

If “PROTECTOR” and “PUSH

POWER” appear alternately in the front panel display.

Remedy

• Check that the AC power cord (mains lead) is connected securely.

• Press "/1 after “STANDBY” disappear from the front panel display.

• After connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power by pressing "/1.

Press "/1 to turn off the system, and check the following items after

“STANDBY” disappears.

• Are the 3 and # speaker cords short-circuited?

• Are you using only the specified speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation slots of the system?

Check the above items and fix any problems. After “STANDBY” disappears, wait about 20 seconds before turning on the power by pressing

"/1. If the cause of the problem cannot be found even after checking all the above items, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Picture

Symptom

There is no picture.

Remedy

• The video connecting cords are not connected securely.

• The video connecting cords are damaged.

• The control unit is not connected to the correct TV input jack (page 21).

• 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 29).

• 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 30).

• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format (525p) signals, the image may be affected when you set progressive format. In this case,

return the setting to interlace format (the default setting) (page 30).

• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.

• The control unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (highbandwidth digital content protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel display does not light up).

• 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 29).

Connect the TV and the control 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.

Picture noise appears.

Even though you set the aspect ratio in

[TV TYPE] of [VIDEO SETUP], the picture does not fill the TV screen.

• The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

Colour irregularity occurs on the TV screen.

• 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 still experience problems even when you connect your control unit directly to your TV, try connecting your control unit to your TV’s video input (except for the HDMI jack)

(page 21).

The subwoofer and the front speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However, some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If this happens, check the following items:

• If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 m from the TV set.

• If the colour irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

• If howling occurs, reposition the speakers further 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.

Dolby Digital

This movie theatre 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 5 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 colourations.

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

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

DTS

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.

S-AIR

(Sony Audio Interactive Radio frequency)

Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other highquality media.

To ensure that the subtle nuances of these highquality 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.
