Getting Started
1: Installing speakers
This receiver allows you to use a 7.1 channel system (7 speakers and one subwoofer).
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).
Example of a 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
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).

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.

9: Calibrating the appropriate speaker settings automatically
(Auto Calibration)
This receiver is equipped with DCAC (Digital
Cinema Auto Calibration) function which allows you to perform automatic calibration to measure the following:
• Speaker connections a)
• Polarity of speakers
• Speaker distance a)
• Speaker size a)
• Speaker level
• Frequency characteristics a)b) a)
The measurement result is not utilized when the
“Analog Direct” is selected.
b)
• Signals with a sampling frequency of higher than
96 kHz are always played back at either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.
• The measurement result is not utilized when
Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling frequency of higher than 96 kHz are being received.
The DCAC is designed to obtain proper sound balance in your room. However, you can adjust the speaker levels and balance manually
according to your preference. For details, see
“Test Tone (Test tone)” (page 68).
Before you perform Auto
Calibration
Before you perform the Auto Calibration, set
up and connect the speakers (page 16–18).
• The AUTO CAL MIC jack is used for the supplied optimizer microphone only. Do not connect other microphones to this jack.
Doing so may damage the receiver and the microphone.
• During the measurement, the sound that comes out of the speakers is very loud. The volume of the sound cannot be adjusted. Pay attention to the presence of children or to the effect on your neighborhood.
• Perform the measurement in a quiet environment to avoid the effect of noise and get a more accurate measurement.
• If there are any obstacles in the path between the optimizer microphone and the speakers, the calibration cannot be performed correctly. Remove any obstacles from the measurement area to avoid measurement error.
• When you use a bi-amplifier connection, set
“SB Assign” to “BI-AMP” in the Speaker
Settings menu (page 66) before you perform
Auto Calibration.
• When you use front speakers B connection, set “SB Assign” to “Speaker B” in the
Speaker Settings menu (page 66) before you
perform Auto Calibration.
• If you want to use surround amplifier, be sure to pair the surround amplifier to S-AIR main unit before you perform Auto
• Select the seating position as position 1, 2 or
3 to save the Auto Calibration result (page
Notes
• The Auto Calibration function does not work in the following cases.
– Headphones are connected
– SPEAKERS is set to off.
• If you activate the muting function during Auto
Calibration, the muting function will automatically be set to off.

Using the Radio Data
System (RDS)
(Models of area code CEL, CEK only)
This receiver also allows you to use RDS
(Radio Data System), which enables radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. You can display RDS information.
Notes
• RDS is operable only for FM stations.
• Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same type of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS services in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM
band using Direct Tuning (page 52),
Automatic Tuning (page 52), or
Preset Tuning (page 53).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, “RDS” lights up and the program service name appears on the display.
Notes
• RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.
• If there is an emergency announcement by government authorities, “ALARM” flashes in the display.
• When the message consists of 10 characters or more, the message scrolls across the display.
• If a station does not provide a particular RDS service, “NO XXXX” (such as “NO TEXT”) appears on the display.
• When a station broadcasts radio text data, it is displayed at the same rate at which it is sent from the station. Any change in this rate is reflected in the display rate of the data.
• The RDS information is shown on the display of this receiver.

You can adjust the distance from 1.00 meter to 10.00 meters (3 feet 3 inches to 32 feet 9 inches) in 0.01 meter (1 inch) steps.
To adjust the size of each speaker
You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right) size.
1
Press V/v/B/b repeatedly to select the speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the size, then press .

Press B/b repeatedly to select “Size:”.
3
Press V/v repeatedly to set the size of the selected speaker, then press .
• 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.
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”.
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 surround back speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to “Large”.

x D.Range Comp
(Dynamic range compression)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
Dynamic range compression is possible with
Dolby Digital sources only.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.
• AUTO
The dynamic range is applied automatically 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.

Programming the remote
You can customize the remote to match the components connected to your receiver. You can even program the remote to control non-
Sony components and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control.
The procedure below uses as an example a case in which a VCR made by a company other than Sony is connected to the VIDEO 1
IN jacks on the receiver.
Before you begin, note that:
– You cannot change the settings of TUNER and DMPORT.
– The remote can control only components that accept infrared wireless control signals.
Be sure to turn on the receiver and point the remote towards the receiver when performing the following procedure.
1
Press and hold RM SET UP,
then press AV ?/1.
The RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes.
2
Press the input button
(including TV) for the component you want to control.
For example, if you are going to control a
VCR connected to VIDEO 1 IN, press
VIDEO 1.
The RM SET UP and SHIFT indicator light up.
If you press the button for a component of which you cannot program the remote, such as DMPORT, etc., the RM SET UP indicator keeps flashing.
3
Press numeric buttons to enter the numeric code (or one of the codes if more than one code exists) corresponding to the component and the maker of the component you want to control.
See the tables on page 110–113 for
information on the numeric code(s).
Note
For a TV remote code value, only numbers in the 500’s are valid.
4
Press ENT/MEM.
Once the numeric code has been verified, the RM SET UP indicator slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the programming mode.
5
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to control other components.
Notes
• The indicator turns off while a valid button is pressed.
• In step 2, if you press TUNER, you can only
program the button to control a tuner (page 110).
• In step 2, if you want to change to other input, press
SHIFT and then press the new input button you want.
• For the numeric codes, only the last three numbers entered are valid.
To cancel programming
Press RM SET UP during any step. The RM
SET UP indicator flashes 5 times in quick succession. The remote automatically exits the programming mode.
To activate the input after programming
Press the programmed button to activate the input you want.
continued
109
GB
If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:
• If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries.
• If the indicator flashes 5 times in quick succession while entering the numeric code, an error has occurred. Start again from step
1.
The numeric codes corresponding to the component and the maker of the component
Use the numeric codes in the tables below to control non-Sony components and also Sony components that the remote is normally unable to control. Since the remote signal that a component accepts differs depending on the model and year of the component, more than one numeric code may be assigned to a component. If you fail to program your remote using one of the codes, try using other codes.
Notes
• The numeric codes are based on the latest information available for each brand. There is a chance, however, that your component will not respond to some or all of the codes.
• All of the input buttons on this remote may not be available when used with your particular component.

Additional Information
Glossary
x Cinema Studio EX
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
Matching”, and “Cinema Studio
Reverberation”.
“Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual speaker technology, creates a virtual multisurround 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 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 colour - coded green, blue and red.
x Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video signal information. The luminance signal Y and chrominance signal C are combined and transmitted together.
x Crossover frequency
The frequency at which two speaker’s frequencies intersect.
x Deep Colour
Video signals for which the colour depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been raised.
The number of colours that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colours) with the current HDMI jack. However, the number of colours which can be expressed by
1 pixel will be 36, etc., bits when the receiver corresponds to Deep Colour.
Since the gradation of the depth of a colour can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous colour changes can be more smoothly expressed.
x Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
Unique sound reproduction technology for home theater developed by Sony, in cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment, for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters at home. With this “Digital
Cinema Sound” developed by integrating a
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by filmmakers can be experienced at home.
x Dolby Digital
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology 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 Dolby Surround (Dolby Pro
Logic)
Audio processing technology developed by
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Center and mono surround information is matrixed into two 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
Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s lossless audio technology developed for high-definition optical discs. Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-forbit identical to the original studio masters and provides supreme-quality audio up to 8 channels at 96 kHz/24 bit and up to 6 channels at 192 kHz/24 bit. Together with highdefinition video, it offers an unprecedented home theater experience.
x DTS 96/24
A high sound quality digital signal format. It records audio at a sampling frequency and bit rate of 96 kHz/24bit which is the highest possible for DVD video. The number of playback channels varies depending on the software.
x DTS Digital Surround
Digital audio encoding/decoding technology for theaters developed by DTS, Inc. It compresses audio less than Dolby Digital, delivering a higher quality sound reproduction.
x DTS-ES
Format for 6.1 channel playback with surround back information. There are two modes, “Discrete 6.1” which records all channels independently, and “Matrix 6.1” which matrixes surround back channel into surround left and surround right channels. It is ideal for playback of motion picture soundtracks.

GB
x DTS-HD
Audio format which extends the conventional
DTS Digital Surround format.
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 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 DTS Neo:6
This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio for 6.1 or 7.1 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.
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.
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 Interlace
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 evennumbered lines are drawn to fill the spaces.
“i” of “480i” stands for “Interlace.” x LFE (Low Frequency Effects)
Sound effects of low frequencies which are 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.
x Neural-THX
Neural Surround™, THX
®
Technologies has been chosen as the official surround sound broadcast format for XM Satellite Radio’s
“XM HD Surround” and other leading FM/HD radio stations in the USA and worldwide.
Neural Surround, THX Technologies delivers the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100% compatible with stereo.
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.
“p” of “480p” stands for “Progressive.”

GB
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.
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 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.
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.Colour
“x.v.Colour” enables the more faithful reproduction of various colours such as the brilliant colours of flowers and the turquoise blue of the southern ocean.

Error messages
If there is a malfunction, the display shows a message. You can check the condition of the system by the message. See the following table to solve the problem. If any problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
PROTECTOR
Irregular current is output to the speakers, or upper panel of the receiver is covered with something. The receiver will automatically turn off after a few seconds. Check the speaker connection and turn on the power again.
For other messages, see “Message list after
Auto Calibration measurement” (page 43) and
“DIGITAL MEDIA PORT message list”
Reference sections for clearing the receiver’s memory
If you are unable to remedy the problem using the troubleshooting guide, clearing the receiver’s memory may remedy the problem
(page 35). However, note that all memorized
settings will be reset to their initial settings and you will have to readjust all settings on the receiver.
If the 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 and S-AIR sub unit).
