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.

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

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

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.

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,

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).

S-AIR ID of the sub unit.
4 Operate the S-AIR main unit to
turn on the pairing function.
For details on turning on the
pairing function, refer to the
Operating Instructions supplied
with the S-AIR main unit.
5 Press the PAIRING button on
the rear panel of the unit using
a pointed object.
“PAIRING” is displayed as a
message in the display. When
completed, the display message
changes to “COMPLETE!” and
stays on for a few seconds.
“PAIRING” in the display turns on
at the same time.
To cancel pairing
Change the S-AIR IDs of the unit and
the S-AIR main unit to different S-AIR
IDs.
To stop the pairing operation
midway
Press the PAIRING button again.
To pair the main unit with
multiple sub units

Notes
 To change the start time or end time of the
Play Timer, start over from step 2.
 For details on configuring the S-AIR
sound source, refer to the Operating
Instructions supplied with the S-AIR main
unit.
To stop the “ALARM” sound of
the Play Timer
When the start time is reached,
“ALARM” sounds and continues to
sound progressively louder at short
intervals. To stop the sound before the
end time, press any key on the unit.
“ALARM” volume level cannot be
adjusted.
When “S-AIR” is selected as the
source for the Play Timer
When you select “S-AIR” sound, the
unit turns on about 45 seconds before
the start time to make the S-AIR
connection with the main unit (the
power of the main unit should be on).
When the S-AIR connection is
successful, playback of the main unit
will start at the set time. If the S-AIR
connection is unsuccessful, the sound
will automatically be switched to the
“ALARM” sound.
When the Play Timer for “S-AIR”
starts, the unit resumes the last volume
setting made when the unit was on.
Notes
 If you press S-AIR/AUDIO IN after the
start time of the Play Timer with “S-AIR”
sound, the Play Timer operation is
terminated at that point. The end time will
be disregarded.
 If the unit is kept turned on by the start
time, the Play Timer sounds at the current
volume level.
