X/x to select the desired setting.

• “STBY ON”: You can enjoy the S-AIR 

receiver while the unit is in standby mode 
or turned on. The power consumption 
during the standby mode increases.

• “STBY OFF”: You cannot enjoy the 

S-AIR receiver while the unit is in 
standby mode.

The default setting differs depending on the 
area.

The setting is made.

The system menu turns off.

• When you turn the system off while “S-AIR STBY” 

is set to “STBY ON,” “S-AIR” flashes (when sound 
transmission between the unit and S-AIR receiver is 
not established), or lights up (when sound 
transmission between the unit and S-AIR receiver is 
established) in the front panel display.

It is easy to set the same ID for the unit and an 
S-AIR sub unit, such as a surround amplifier or 
S-AIR receiver, to establish sound transmission. 
However, neighbors may also receive your 
system’s sound if IDs are the same, or you may 
receive sound from neighbors. To prevent this, 
you can identify the unit with a specific S-AIR 
sub unit by performing the pairing operation.

x Before pairing

Sound transmission is established by ID 
(example).

x After pairing

Sound transmission is established between the 
paired unit and S-AIR sub unit(s) only.

• Remove headphones from the surround 

amplifier (if connected).

• To set the ID of the unit, see “To set the ID 

of the unit” (page 74).
