Subwoofer (SA-WA10R / Wireless Speaker System) A B C S-AIR ID PAIRING The subwoofer can be placed with the speaker side up. Remote (RM-ANU066) 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. This manual mainly explains operations using the remote, but the same operations can also be performed using the buttons on the unit having the same or similar names. To use the remote Slide and remove the battery compartment lid, and insert the two supplied R03 (size AAA) batteries,  side first, matching the polarities shown below. Notes on using the remote  With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months.  Do not mix an old battery with a new one or mix different types of batteries.  If you do not intend to use the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

Note The clock settings are lost when you disconnect the power cord or if a power failure occurs. To adjust the volume Press VOLUME +/- . STANDBY Establishing the S-AIR connection You can easily establish the connection by setting the same S-AIR ID for the main unit and the subwoofer. 1 Check that the wireless transceivers are inserted securely in the main unit and the subwoofer. 2 Press on the main unit and the subwoofer to turn them on. 3 Set the same S-AIR ID for 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 "S-AIR ID" appears, then press ENTER .  Press repeatedly to select "A,""B" or "C," then press ENTER . 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). Your AIR-SW10Ti system Neighboring AIR-SW10Ti system Subwoofer ID: A Subwoofer ID: A ID: A Main unit ID: A Main unit After pairing Connection is established between the subwoofer and your main unit. Your AIR-SW10Ti system Neighboring AIR-SW10Ti system Subwoofer ID: A Subwoofer ID: A Pairing Not connected ID: A Main unit ID: A Main unit 1 Place the main unit near the subwoofer. 2 Check that the power of the main unit and the subwoofer is turned on. 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. Each time you press on the main unit, the subwoofer will be turned on/off in sync with the main unit. You can check the power status of the subwoofer by the / indicator  on the subwoofer. Subwoofer status indication / indicator Green Orange Red Status Power on Power save mode You can turn on the subwoofer by pressing on the main unit. Standby mode You cannot turn on the subwoofer by pressing on the main unit. To turn on the subwoofer, press on the subwoofer.
