Precautions

On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage is identical to your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the subwoofer.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet (mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as
it is connected to the AC outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system at a large volume, the system temperature of the back and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
• Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the system.
• Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer that
might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions.
• Do not cover the grill of the subwoofer.
• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too close to that equipment, noise may result, and picture quality may suffer. This is especially likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other compon ents, be sure to turn off and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
Color irregularitie s may be observed on certain types of TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed again...
Place the subwoofer or the speakers further away from the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

“BRAVIA” Sync Features

What is “BRAVIA” Sync?

By connecting Sony components that are compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync with an HDMI cable (not supplied), operation is simplified as below:
• One-Touch Play: When you play back a
component such as a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player (recorder), the system and the TV are turned on automatically and switch to the appropriate HDMI input.
• System Audio Control: While watching TV,
you can select to output the sound from the TV speaker or the speakers of the system.
• System Power Off: When you turn off the TV,
the system and the connected components are also turned off simultaneously.
“BRAVIA” Sync is compatible with a Sony TV, Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, AV amplifier, etc., with the Control for HDMI function.
CONTROL FOR HDMI is a mutual control function standard used by CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface).
The Control for HDMI function will not operate in the following cases:
• When you connect this system to a component
that is not compatible with the Control for HDMI function.
• When you connect the system and components
using other than HDMI connection.
We recommend that you connect this system to products featuring “BRAVIA” Sync.
Note
• Depending on the connected component, the Control for HDMI function may not work. See the operating instructions of the component.

Preparing for the “BRAVIA” Sync

To use the “BRAVIA” Sync, set the Control for HDMI function to on for the system and the connected component. When you connect a Sony TV with the Control for HDMI function, the Control for HDMI function for the system and the connected component can be set simultaneously by setting the Control for HDMI function of the TV.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

What is the Radio Data System?
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as station name display. RDS is available 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 system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name* appears in the front panel display.
* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name
will not appear in the front panel display.
Note
• RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly, or if the signal strength is weak.
Tip
• When a station name is displayed, you can check the frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.

Identifying the subwoofer with a specific S-AIR sub unit (Pairing operation)
It is easy to set the same ID for the subwoofer and an S-AIR sub unit to establish sound transmission. However, neighbors may also receive your system’s sound if IDs are the same, or you may receive sound from neighbors. To prevent this, you can identify the subwoofer with a specific S-AIR sub unit by performing the pairing operation.
x Before pairing
Sound transmission is established by ID (example).

Glossary

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.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. This format comprises of stereo rear channel and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. 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.
HDMI
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 (High­bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.
S-AIR (Sony Audio Interactive Radio frequency)
Recent times have seen the rapid spread of DVD media, Digital Broadcasting, and other high­quality media. To ensure that the subtle nuances of these high­quality 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 EZW­RT10/EZW-RT10A/EZW-T100/EZW-T100A. 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.
S-Force PRO Front Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic data accumulated as a result) has led to the development of all-new processing method and advanced DSP to handle this task effectively, which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround. Compared with previous front surround technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround reproduces a more convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers.
S-Master
S-Master is an all-digital amplifier technology developed by Sony, which effectively minimizes the occurrence of sound fragmentation and jitter, delivering superb dialog clarity and faithful reproduction of the original sound. The compact amplifier section supports a higher power efficiency and improved thermal performance.
x.v.Colour (x.v.Color)
“x.v.Colour (x.v.Color)” enables the more faithful reproduction of various colors such as the brilliant colors of flowers and the turquoise blue of the southern ocean. “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to the products that have the capability to realize a wide
