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.

Tip
•You can also place the subwoofer either side, facing the listening position.
•When you install the speaker, the speaker face may be unstable. In this case, use a commercially available wire clamper or a commercially available tape, etc., to secure the speaker cord.
Using the subwoofer efficiently
To reinforce the bass sound, place the subwoofer possible close to a wall.

Note
•If the subwoofer is to be placed ahead of the front speaker, the distance should be less than 0.5 m.*

Note
•Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
•Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
–Extremely hot or cold
–Dusty or dirty
–Very humid
–Subject to vibrations
–Subject to direct sunlight
•Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discolouration may result.
•When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.
•Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
•Image distortion on the TV screen may occur depending on the location of the subwoofer. In this case, place the subwoofer away from the TV.
Tip
•When you change the position of the speakers, Sony recommends that you change the settings. For details, see “Calibrating the Appropriate Settings Automatically” (page 88).

Installing the speakers on the wall
Before installing the speakers on the wall, you need to decide which surround speakers connection you want. You can connect your surround speakers in 2 different ways.
A Connect surround speakers to S-AIR surround amplifier (wireless connection) B Connect surround speakers to subwoofer (wired connection)
Sony recommends you to use wireless connection for this system. For details, see “Step 2: Connecting the System” (page 19).
The surround speakers supplied are for wireless connection. If you want to change to wired connection, you need to change the surround speaker cords. For details on changing the speaker cords, see step 2 to 4 of “Installing the speakers to the wall” below.
Caution
•Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
•Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied.
•Sony is not responsible for accident or damage caused by improper installation, insufficient wall strength or improper screw installation, natural calamity, etc.

3 Inserting the wireless transmitter/transceiver
You can transmit sound from the S-AIR main unit to an S-AIR product, such as a surround amplifier or S-AIR receiver.
An S-AIR product is a component that is compatible with the S-AIR function.
To use the S-AIR function, you need to insert the wireless transmitter/transceiver into the subwoofer, surround amplifier and S-AIR receiver.
For details of the S-AIR function, see “Using an S-AIR Product” (page 74).
Note
•When you insert the wireless transmitter/transceiver, make sure that the AC power cord (mains lead) is not connected to a wall outlet (mains).
•Do not touch the terminals of the wireless transmitter/transceiver.
•Insert the wireless transmitter/transceiver with the S-AIR logo facing up.
•Insert the wireless transmitter/transceiver so that the V marks are aligned.
•Do not insert other than the wireless transceiver into the EZW-RT10 slot.
•Do not insert other than the wireless transmitter into the EZW-T100 slot.
To insert the wireless transmitter into the S-AIR main unit (subwoofer)

4 Connecting the TV
Use the parts as follows:
• Video cord (1)
To listen to TV sound from the speakers of the system, connect the TV and the system with the audio cord (not supplied) (A).
For video output to your TV, check the video input jacks of the TV, and select connection method A, B, or C. Picture quality improves in order from A (standard) to C (HDMI).
When the TV has the digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting with the digital cord (B).

Note
•During the “DMPORT” function, video signal is not output from the HDMI OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
•The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.
•When connecting the HDMI cable, make sure that the direction of jacks are the same.
•When connecting the digital optical cord, insert the connector until it clicks into place.
Tip
•You can connect another component, such as a VCR, digital satellite receiver, or PlayStation, to the TV (AUDIO IN) jacks (A) or TV (DIGITAL IN OPTICAL) jack (B) instead of the TV.
