The AIR-SA17Ti is an “S-AIR” 

compatible product. It is also called the 

“S-AIR main unit.”

Connecting the S-AIR main unit 

(transmitter product, hereafter called 

“main unit”) with an 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 the sub 

units, one in the study room and the 

other 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 by 

controlling the sub units.

You can also connect the main unit to 

an optional AV system (such as a TV), 

and on this optional AV system you 

can enjoy audio, video and photo 

contents of an iPod/iPhone which is 

connected to the main unit.

This system is compatible with the 

coupling function. The coupling 

function establishes a connection 

between a sub unit and an S-AIR 

remote commander. For details, refer 

to the Operating Instructions of the 

S-AIR remote commander.

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.

EZW-RT10A

Wireless transceiver

 Wireless transceiver

Insert the supplied wireless transceiver 

(EZW-RT10A) securely into the EZW-

RT10A slot on the rear panel.

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 the SONY 

logo mark from above.



 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 terminal 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.

 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 use the remote for a long 

period of time, remove the batteries to 

avoid damage from battery leakage and 

corrosion.

You can easily establish the connection 

by setting the same S-AIR ID for the 

unit and the sub unit.

unit and the sub unit.
Set the S-AIR ID selector on the 

rear panel to the desired S-AIR ID.

The S-AIR ID is set at the factory to “A.”

Once the connection between the 

main unit and the sub unit is 

established, the S-AIR indicator on 

the sub unit lights up and 

“LINKED” appears in the display 

of the sub unit for a few seconds.

Up to 10 sub units (optional) can be 

connected with the main unit.

It is easy to set the same S-AIR ID for 

the main unit and the sub unit 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 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).

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 systems near the main 

unit and/or the sub unit.

In this case, the connection may be 

improved by changing the RF



  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 the 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 

the other wireless systems at the 

same time.



  The transmission distance differs 

depending on the usage 

environment. Find a location where 

transmission between the main unit 

and the sub unit is most effective, 

and install the main unit and the sub 

unit there.



  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 them 

again.



  The power supply cord can be 

changed only by a qualified service 

facility.



  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 a 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.

Heat buildup in the unit during 

operation is normal and is not cause 

for alarm.

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.
