x Deep Color Video signals for which the color depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been raised. The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with the current HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel will be 36 bits, etc., when the receiver corresponds to Deep Color. Since the gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed.
x DTS 96/24 x DTS Neo:6 A high sound quality digital signal format. It records audio at a sampling frequency and bit rate of 96 kHz/24bit which is the highest possible for DVD video. The number of playback channels varies depending on the software. This technology converts 2 channel stereo recorded audio for 6.1 channel playback. There are two modes to select according to the playback source or your preference, CINEMA for movies, and MUSIC for stereo sources such as music.
x 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-T100.
On placement About S-AIR function • Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver. • Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. • Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause malfunctions. • Do not place the receiver near equipment such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck.
Troubleshooting If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the receiver, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem. Audio There is no sound, no matter which component is selected, or only a very low-level sound is heard. • Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely. • Check that all speaker cords are connected correctly. • Check that both the receiver and all components are turned on.
There is severe hum or noise. • Check that the speakers and components are connected securely. • Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light. • Move your audio components away from the TV. • The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. There is no sound, or only a very lowlevel sound is heard from the center/ surround/surround back speakers.
Video There is no picture or an unclear picture appears on the TV screen or monitor. • Select the appropriate input using the input buttons. • Set your TV to the appropriate input mode. • Move your audio components away from the TV. • Depending on the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, video output may not be possible. The image of the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT is corrupted. • Video input signals other than 480p component are not received when signals are output from the VIDEO jack. Input 480i component video signals.
HDMI The source sound input to the HDMI jack is not output from the receiver or the TV speaker. • Check the HDMI connection (page 25). • You cannot listen to the Super Audio CD by connecting HDMI. • Depending on the playback component, you may need to set up the component. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with each component. • Be sure to use a connecting cable for the HDMI jack corresponding to high speed (an HDMI version 1.
S-AIR function S-AIR connection is not established (sound transmission is not established), e.g., the indicator of the S-AIR sub unit turns off, flashes, or turns red. • If you use another S-AIR main unit, place it more than 26 1/4 feet (8 m) away from this S-AIR main unit. • Confirm the S-AIR IDs of the S-AIR main unit and S-AIR sub unit (page 87). • Another S-AIR sub unit is paired to the S-AIR main unit. Pair the desired S-AIR sub unit with the S-AIR main unit (page 88).
Remote commander The remote does not function. • Point the remote at the remote sensor on the receiver. • Remove any obstacles in the path between the remote and the receiver. • Replace all the batteries in the remote with new ones, if they are weak. • Make sure you select the correct input on the remote. • When you operate a programmed nonSony component, the remote may not function properly depending on the model and the maker of the component.
