Step 1: Installing the System

For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position

(A). The distance can be between 0 to 23 feet (0.0 to 7.0 meters).

If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (A), place them

within 23 feet (7.0 meters) of the listening position.

Place the surround speakers to the rear of the listening position (B).

The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.

Note

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed,

oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

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 before 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

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Do not place heavy objects on the system.

• Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel.

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

location, 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 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 replacement of parts

• In the events that this system is repaired, repaired

parts may be collected for reuse or recycling

purposes.

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.

Additional Information

68US

On moving the system

• Before moving the system, make sure that there is no

disc inserted, and remove the AC power cord (mains

lead) from the wall outlet (mains).

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 oven, may prevent

wireless transmission.

• As the S-AIR products use the radio waves that share

the same frequency 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 transmission distance differs 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 divider/door or furniture/electric

product made of fireproof glass, metal, etc.,

between the S-AIR products.

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 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.

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.

Glossary

AVCHD

The AVCHD format 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 format 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 application

The BD-ROM format supports Java for

interactive functions.

“BD-J” offers content providers almost

unlimited functionality when creating

interactive BD-ROM titles.

BD-R

BD-R (Blu-ray Disc Recordable) is a

recordable, write-once Blu-ray Disc, available

in the same capacities as the BD below. Since

contents can be recorded and cannot be

overwritten, a BD-R can be used to archive

valuable data or store and distribute video

material.

BD-RE

BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a

recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,

available in the same capacities as the BD

below. The re-recordable feature makes

extensive editing and time-shifting applications

possible.

BD-ROM

BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory)

are commercially produced discs and are

available in the same capacities as the BD

below. Other than conventional movie and video

contents, these discs have enhanced features

such as interactive content, menu operations

using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle

display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM

may contain any form of data, most BD-ROM

discs will contain movies in High Definition

format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD

players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD)

A disc format developed for recording/playing

high-definition (HD) video (for HDTV, etc.),

and for storing large amounts of data. A single

layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 25 GB, and a

dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to 50 GB of

data.

Digital Cinema Auto Calibration

(D.C.A.C)

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 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 Digital Plus

Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital, the

audio coding technology supports 7.1 multi-

channel surround sound.

84US

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 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.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

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.

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 music.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

Developed as an extension to DTS Digital

Surround format. It supports a maximum

sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-

channel surround.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio has a

maximum transmission rate of 6 Mbps, with

lossy compression.

DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio has a maximum

transmission rate of 24.5 Mbps, and uses

lossless compression, and DTS-HD Master

Audio corresponds to a maximum sampling

frequency of 192 kHz, and maximum of 7.1ch.

HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.)

HD Digital Cinema Sound (HD-D.C.S.) is

Sony’s new innovative home theater technology

using the latest acoustic and digital signal

processing technologies. It is based on precise

response measurement data of a mastering

studio.

With HD-D.C.S., you are able to enjoy Blu-ray

and DVD movies at home with not only the high

quality of sound, but also the best sound

ambience, just as the movie’s sound engineer

intended in the mastering process.

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.

LTH (Low to High)

LTH is a recording system that supports organic

pigment type BD-R.

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 for highly-detailed

pictures, 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 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 BD/

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), such as wireless LANs and

Bluetooth applications.

24p True Cinema

Movies shot with a film camera consist of 24

frames per second.

Since conventional televisions (both CRT and

flat panels) display frames either at 1/60 or 1/50

second intervals, the 24 frames do not appear at

an even pace.

When connected to a TV with 24p capabilities,

the player displays each frame at 1/24 second

intervals — the same interval originally shot

with the film camera, thus faithfully reproducing

the original cinema image.
