Features

AIR-SW10Ti is an “S-AIR” compatible packaged product that consists of one S-AIR main unit and one subwoofer.

You can enjoy high quality sound by connecting the subwoofer wirelessly. The subwoofer can be used only with this main unit.

In addition, connecting the S-AIR main unit (hereafter called “main unit”) to optional S-AIR sub units (hereafter called “sub units”) using “S-AIR” technology, you can use each unit in a remote location.

For example, you can install optional sub units, one in a study room and the other in a bedroom, and install the system in the living room. You can then listen to music from the system located in the living room by controlling the sub units.

Up to 10 optional sub units can be connected to a main unit.

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-RT10A.

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.

Subwoofer

Set the S-AIR ID selector  on the rear panel to the same S-AIR ID as the main unit.

Tip

The S-AIR ID is set at the factory to “A.”

4 Confirm the connection status.

Once connection between the main unit and the subwoofer is established, the S-AIR indicator  on the subwoofer lights up.

Tip

You can also connect up to 10 optional sub units to the main unit. In this case, set the S-AIR ID to the same ID as the main unit.

For details on the S-AIR ID of the sub unit, refer to the Operating

Instructions supplied with the sub unit.

Identifying the subwoofer with your main unit (Pairing operation)

It is easy to set the same S-AIR ID for the main unit and the subwoofer to establish the connection.

However, if a neighbor has an AIR-SW10Ti system with the same S-AIR ID as your S-AIR main unit, the neighbor may be able to hear the audio transmitted from your main unit on the neighbor’s subwoofer. Also, you may be able to hear the audio transmitted from your neighbor’s main unit on your subwoofer. To prevent this, you can identify the subwoofer with your main unit by performing the pairing operation.

Before pairing

Connection is established by the S-AIR ID (example).

3 Check that the S-AIR ID of the main unit is the same as the S-AIR ID of the subwoofer.

4 Perform the pairing operation of the main unit and the subwoofer as follows:

Main unit

 Press SYSTEM MENU .

 Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR” appears, then press ENTER .

 Press /  repeatedly until “PAIRING” appears, then press ENTER .

“OK?” flashes.

 Press ENTER  again.

“PAIRING” flashes and the main unit is ready for pairing with the subwoofer.

Subwoofer

Press PAIRING  on the rear panel of the subwoofer using a pointed object.

When pairing is performed, “COMPLETE” is displayed on the main unit for 2 seconds and the

PAIRING indicator  on the subwoofer lights up.

To cancel pairing

Change the S-AIR IDs of the main unit and the subwoofer to different S-AIR IDs.

To stop the pairing operation midway

It takes a few seconds to complete the pairing of the main unit and subwoofer after pressing PAIRING  on the rear panel of the subwoofer in step 4.

You can undo the pairing setting before completing the pairing.

If you have done the pairing operation of only the main unit, repeat  to  of step 4 again.

If you have done the pairing operation of both the main unit and subwoofer, repeat  to  of step 4 and press

PAIRING  on the rear panel of the subwoofer.

Tip

You can also pair the main unit with optional sub units. For details on turning on the pairing function, refer to the Operating

Instructions supplied with the sub unit.

If the S-AIR connection is unstable

Since the S-AIR product uses radio waves that share the same frequency (2.4 GHz) as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or poor transmission may result if you use other wireless devices near the system.

In this case, the connection may be improved by changing the RF CHANGE (Radio Frequency Change) setting on the main unit.

1 Press SYSTEM MENU .

2 Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR” appears, then press ENTER .

3 Press /  repeatedly until “RF CHANGE” appears, then press ENTER .

4 Press /  repeatedly to select the desired setting.

The default setting is underlined.

AUTO

Normally select this setting. The main unit changes the RF CHANGE setting to “ON” or “OFF” automatically.

ON

The main unit transmits sound by searching for the best channel for transmission.

OFF

The main unit transmits sound using a fixed channel for transmission. When you select this setting, select the S-AIR ID that provides the best connection.

5 Press ENTER  to exit the system menu.

Turning the subwoofer on/off in sync with the main unit

When the subwoofer is on or in power save mode, press

/  on the main unit to begin using the system. By pressing /  on the main unit to turn it off, the subwoofer will enter power save mode.

Precautions

Notes on use of the S-AIR product

 As the S-AIR product transmits sound by radio waves, sound may skip if radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not a malfunction of the system.

 As the S-AIR product transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with sound transmission of the system.

 As the S-AIR product uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or poor transmission may result. In this case, take the following steps:

 Do not install S-AIR products near other wireless systems.

 Do not use S-AIR products and other wireless systems at the same time.

 The transmission distance differs depending on the usage environment. Find a location where transmission between the unit and subwoofer is most effective, and install the unit and subwoofer there.

On safety

 Completely disconnect the power cord from the wall socket if the main unit and subwoofer are not going to be used for an extended period of time. When unplugging them, always grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

 Should any solid object or liquid get into the main unit or a subwoofer, unplug the unit in question, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it again.

 The power cord should only be changed by a qualified service facility.
