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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire 
or electric shock, do not 
expose this apparatus to 
rain or moisture.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric 
shock, do not expose this apparatus to 
dripping or splashing, and do not place 
objects filled with liquids, such as 
vases, on the apparatus.
As the main plug is used to disconnect 
the unit from the mains, connect the 
unit to an easily accessible AC outlet. 
Should you notice an abnormality in 
the unit, disconnect the main plug 
from the AC outlet immediately.
The unit is not disconnected from the 
mains as long as it is connected to the 
AC outlet, even if the unit itself has 
been turned off.
Do not install the appliance in a 
confined space, such as a bookcase or 
built-in cabinet.
Do not expose batteries or apparatus 
with battery-installed to excessive heat 
such as sunshine, fire or the like.
The dating code and the nameplate are 
located on the bottom exterior of the 
unit.

occur in a particular installation. If this 
equipment does cause harmful 
interference to radio or television 
reception, which can be determined by 
turning the equipment off and on, the 
user is encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
  Reorient or relocate the receiving 
antenna.
  Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver.
  Connect the equipment into an 
outlet on a circuit different from 
that to which the receiver is 
connected.
  Consult the dealer or an 
experienced radio/TV technician 
for help.

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 
product
  As the S-AIR product transmits 
sound by radio waves, sound may 
skip when radio waves are 
obstructed. This is a characteristic of 
radio waves and is not a 
malfunction.
  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.
  As the S-AIR product uses 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 the S-AIR product 
near other wireless systems.
   Do not use the S-AIR product 
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 
the S-AIR main unit is most 
effective, and install the unit and the 
S-AIR main unit there.
On safety
  Operate the unit only on the power 
sources specified in “Specifications”.
  Completely disconnect the power 
supply cord from the wall socket 
(mains) if the unit is not going to be 
used for an extended period of time. 
When unplugging the unit, always 
grip the plug. Never pull by the cord 
itself.
  Should any solid object or liquid get 
into the unit, unplug the unit, and 
have it checked by qualified 
personnel before operating it again.
  The power supply cord can be 
changed only by a qualified service 
facility.
On placement
  At low temperature, characters 
change in the display becomes slow, 
but it is not a malfunction.
  Do not place the unit in an inclined 
position or in locations that are 
extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty, 
humid or lacking adequate 
ventilation, subject to vibration, 
direct sunlight or bright light.
  Be careful when placing the unit on 
surfaces that have been specially 
treated (for example, with wax, oil, 
polish) as staining or discoloration 
of the surface may result.
On heat buildup
  Heat buildup in the unit during 
operation is normal and is not cause 
for alarm.
  Do not touch the cabinet if it has 
been used continuously at a high 
volume because the cabinet may 
have become hot.
On the speaker system
This speaker system is not 
magnetically shielded, and the picture 
on nearby TV sets may become 
magnetically distorted. In this 
situation, turn off the TV, wait about 
15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back on. 
If there is no improvement, move the 
unit far away from the TV.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. 
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, 
scouring powder, or solvent, such as 
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.
Hooking up the unit
 Wireless transceiver
Insert the supplied wireless transceiver 
(EZW-RT10A) securely into the EZW-
RT10 slot on the rear panel of the unit.
Check the orientation of the  mark 
when inserting the supplied wireless 
transceiver (EZW-RT10A). Failure to 
do so may result in damage to the unit.
Push to insert the wireless transceiver 
firmly until you cannot see it from the 
side.
Notes
 Make sure to turn off the unit when 
inserting or removing the supplied wireless 
transceiver (EZW-RT10A). Failure to do so 
may result in damage to the unit.
 Do not touch the terminals of the supplied 
wireless transceiver (EZW-RT10A).
 Do not insert any device other than the 
supplied wireless transceiver (EZW-
RT10A) into the EZW-RT10A slot.
 S-AIR ID selector
Set the same S-AIR ID for this unit and 
the S-AIR main unit to be connected. 
For details on setting the S-AIR ID, see 
“Establishing the connection with an 
S-AIR main unit.”
 Power
Connect the power supply cord to a 
wall socket.
Notes on turning off the unit
 The STANDBY indicator on the top of the 
unit lights up while the power is off.
 After you turn off the unit, no operation is 
effective while “STANDBY” is blinking in 
the display. 
 AUDIO IN jack
Connect an audio cable with stereo 
mini plug (not supplied) to listen to 
sound of external equipment.
Audio cable

To audio equipment 
(not supplied) 
Establishing the 
connection with an S-AIR 
main unit
Connect the unit and S-AIR main unit 
to listen to sound from the S-AIR main 
unit.
You can easily establish the connection 
by setting the same S-AIR ID for this 
unit and S-AIR main unit.
1
  Operate the S-AIR main unit to 
turn on the S-AIR function.
For details on turning on the S-AIR 
function, refer to the Operating 
Instructions supplied with the  
S-AIR main unit.
2
  Set the S-AIR ID of the unit to 
the same S-AIR ID as the S-AIR 
main unit to be connected.
For details on setting the S-AIR ID 
of the S-AIR main unit, refer to the 
Operating Instructions supplied 
with the S-AIR main unit.
3
  Press  to turn on the unit. 
Once the connection is established, 
the S-AIR indicator on the unit 
lights up and “LINKED” appears in 
the display for a few seconds.
Identifying the main unit 
with a specific sub unit 
(Pairing operation)
It is easy to set the same S-AIR ID for 
the main unit and the sub units to 
establish the connection.
However, if a neighbor has an S-AIR 
main unit with the same S-AIR ID as 
your S-AIR main unit, the neighbor 
may be able to hear the audio 
transmitted from your S-AIR main 
unit on the neighbor’s system. Also, 
you may be able to hear the audio 
transmitted from your neighbor’s 
S-AIR main unit on your system. To 
prevent this, you can identify the main 
unit with a specific sub unit by 
performing the pairing operation.
Before pairing
The connection is established by the  
S-AIR ID (example).
