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

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the

purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet

(mains) only one way. If you are unable to insert the

plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at

the qualified service shop.

• The system is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the system itself has been turned off.

• Install this system so that the power cord can be

unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the

event of trouble.

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 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,

Precautions

continued

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 components, be sure to turn off

and unplug the system.

If you encounter color irregularity on

a nearby TV screen

The subwoofer is equipped with a function for converting video signals.

Video signals and component video signals can be output as HDMI video signals and these up-

converted video signals can only be output from the HDMI TV OUT jack. See the illustration that

follows.

In the video input/output conversion table of the subwoofer

: Video signals are up-converted and output through the video converter.

a : The same type of signal as that of the input signal is output. Video signals are not up-converted.

X : Video signals are not output.

Notes on converting video signals

• When video signals from a VCR, etc., are converted on the subwoofer and then output to your TV,

depending on the status of the video signal output, the image on the TV screen may appear distorted

horizontally, or no image may be output.

• HDMI video signals cannot be converted to component video signals.

• The up-converted video signals are output only from the HDMI OUT jack. They are not output from

any other video jacks.

• When you play back a VCR with an image improvement circuit, such as TBC, the images may be

distorted or may not be output. In this case, set the image improvement circuit function to off.

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.*

• 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.

* 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 top

panel display.

* If an RDS broadcast is not received, a station name

will not appear in the top panel display.

• When a station name is displayed, you can check the

frequency by pressing DISPLAY repeatedly.

Dolby Digital

This movie theatre 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 (High-

bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a copy

protection technology that incorporates coding

technology for digital video signals.

• Standby power consumption 0.3 W.

• Halogenated flame retardants are not

used in the certain printed wiring

boards.

• Over 85 % power efficiency of

amplifier block is achieved with the

full digital amplifier, S-master.

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 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

EZWRT10/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.

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.Colour is a more familiar term for the

xvYCC standard proposed by Sony, and is a

trademark of Sony. xvYCC is an international

standard for color space in video.

This standard can express a wider color range

than the currently used broadcast standard.
