cable. Picture quality will be improved compared to using only the SCART (EURO AV) connection.

When connecting with the HDMI cable, you need to select the type of output signal (page 38).

To view images from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, you need to connect to the TV with the

SCART (EURO AV) cable. Video signals from the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter are not output

via the HDMI OUT jack.

* HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Digital optical cord (C) or digital coaxial cord (D) connection

When the TV has a digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting

with a digital optical or coaxial cord in addition to the SCART (EURO AV) connection.

Note

• The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL

has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

• When you connect the system and a TV with the “BRAVIA” Sync function via an HDMI cable, the “BRAVIA”

Sync function is enabled. In this case, set [CONTROL FOR HDMI] in [HDMI SETUP] to [ON] (page 64).

Precautions

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 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 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.

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

don’t, 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 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.

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 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

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.

Additional Information

105GB

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 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.

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.

Digital Direct Twin Drive Subwoofer

(DAV-DZ880W only)

Utilizing 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 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 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.

120GB

xMusic mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music

recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound

space.

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.

DTS

Digital 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.

Parental Control

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the

disc by the age of 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.

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 CD

Super 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
