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.

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.

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
64
GB
color space based on the xvYCC specifications
and is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
xvYCC is an international standard of the
technical specifications of the extended-gamut
color space for video signals. The color gamut of
xvYCC is wider than the one of sRGB that is
used with the current television system.
