Sony HT-AS5 User Manual

Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 
15 to 30 minutes.

Place the speaker further away from the TV 
set.

Reposition the speakers or turn down the 
volume on the system.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a 

soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of 
abrasive pad, scouring powder, scrubbing 
brush or sponge.

• If it is stained with oil or fingerprints, breath 

on the surface and wipe it with soft dry cloth.

• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by 

radio waves, sound may skip when radio 
waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic 
of radio waves and is not malfunction.

• As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by 

radio waves, equipment that generates 
electromagnetic energy, such as a 
microwave oven, may interfere with sound 
transmission.

• As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio 

waves that share the same frequency as other 
wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or 
Bluetooth device, interference or poor 
transmission may result. In this case, take 
the following steps:
– Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near 

other wireless systems.

– Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the 

other wireless systems at the same time.

– The transmission may be improved by 

changing the transmission channel 
(frequency) of the other wireless 
system(s). For details, refer to the 
operating instructions of the other wireless 
system(s).

• The transmission distance differs depending 

on the usage environment. Find a location 
where transmission between the S-AIR main 
unit and sub unit is most effective, and 
install the S-AIR main unit and sub unit 
there.

• Place the S-AIR product(s) on the table 

surface off the floor.

• Poor transmission may occur and the 

transmission distance may be too short if the 
following conditions exist:
– There is a wall/floor made of reinforced 

concrete or store between the S-AIR 
product(s).

– There is an iron divider/door or furniture/

electric product made of fireproof glass, 
metal, etc., between the S-AIR product(s).

If you have any questions or problems 
concerning your system, please consult your 
nearest Sony dealer.
