82USAbout 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.• As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices it may occur interference or poor transmission as a result. In this case, take the following steps to enhance the transmission of signals:– 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).• The transmission distance differs depending on the usage of 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:– 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).Notes about the DiscsOn 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.

92USGlossaryDigital Cinema Auto CalibrationDigital 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 SubwooferUtilizing 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 DigitalThis 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.xMovie modeThe 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.xMusic modeThe Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.Dolby Surround Pro LogicAs 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.DTSDigital 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. 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 ControlA function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of users according to the limitation level in each country.

Additional Information93USplayback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.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. This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive format.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-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.Super Audio CDSuper 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.xSuper Audio CD typesThere are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.• Super Audio CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD• CD layer1): A layer that is readable by a conventional CD playerA Super Audio CD layer consists of the 2 channel area or the multi-channel area.• 2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel stereo tracks are recorded• Multi-channel area: An area in which multi-channel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are recorded1)You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD player.2)Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary to turn the disc over.3)To select a layer, see “Changing a playback layer for a hybrid Super Audio CD” (page 39).4)To select an area, see “Selecting a playback area for a Super Audio CD” (page 39).
