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.

Features

The AIR-SA50R is an “S-AIR”

compatible product. It is also called the

“S-AIR sub unit.”

Connecting the S-AIR main unit

(transmitter product, hereafter called

“main unit”) with the S-AIR sub unit

(receiver product, hereafter called “sub

unit”) using “S-AIR” technology, you

can use each unit in a remote location.

For example, you can install this unit

in the bedroom, and then install the

main unit in the living room. You can

then listen to the music from the main

unit located in the living room with

this unit in the bedroom.

This unit is compatible with a main

unit with “MULTI SOURCE” mode,

and the coupling operation. The

coupling operation establishes a

connection between the sub unit and

optional S-AIR remote commander.

Precautions

Notes on use of the S-AIR

intervals. To stop the sound before the

end time, press any key on the unit.

“ALARM” volume level cannot be

adjusted.

When “S-AIR” is selected as the

source for the Play Timer

When you select “S-AIR” sound, the

unit turns on about 45 seconds before

the start time to make the S-AIR

connection with the main unit (the

power of the main unit should be on).

When the S-AIR connection is

successful, playback of the main unit

will start at the set time. If the S-AIR

connection is unsuccessful, the sound

will automatically be switched to the

“ALARM” sound.

When the Play Timer for “S-AIR”

starts, the unit resumes the last volume

setting made when the unit was on.

If you press S-AIR/AUDIO IN after the

start time of the Play Timer with “S-AIR”

sound, the Play Timer operation is

terminated at that point. The end time will

be disregarded.



If the unit is kept turned on by the start

time, the Play Timer sounds at the current

volume level.
