Features

AIR-SW10Ti is an “S-AIR” compatible packaged product

that consists of one S-AIR main unit and one subwoofer.

You can enjoy high quality sound by connecting the

subwoofer wirelessly. The subwoofer can be used only

with this main unit.

In addition, connecting the S-AIR main unit (hereafter

called “main unit”) to optional S-AIR sub units (hereafter

called “sub units”) using “S-AIR” technology, you can use

each unit in a remote location.

For example, you can install optional sub units, one in a

study room and the other in a bedroom, and install the

system in the living room. You can then listen to music

from the system located in the living room by controlling

the sub units.

Up to 10 optional sub units can be connected to a main

unit.

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.

of batteries.

If you do not intend to use the remote for a long period of time,

remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and

corrosion.

Wireless transceiver

Insert the supplied wireless transceiver (EZW-RT10A)

securely into the EZW-RT10A slot on the rear panel of

main unit and the subwoofer.

Check the orientation of the  mark when inserting the

supplied wireless transceivers (EZW-RT10A). Failure to

do so may result in damage to the main unit and

subwoofer.
Notes

Make sure to turn off the main unit and the subwoofer when

inserting or removing the supplied wireless transceivers (EZW-

RT10A). Failure to do so may result in damage to the main unit and

subwoofer.

Do not touch the terminals of the supplied wireless transceivers

(EZW-RT10A).

Do not insert any device other than the supplied wireless

transceivers (EZW-RT10A) into the EZW-RT10A slot.

FM antenna

Find a location and an orientation that provide good

reception, and then set up the antenna. Keep the antenna

away from the power cord to avoid picking up noise.

Power

Connect the power cord to a wall socket.

Establishing the S-AIR connection

You can easily establish the connection by setting the

same S-AIR ID for the main unit and the subwoofer.

1

Check that the wireless transceivers are inserted

securely in the main unit and the subwoofer.

2

Press /  on the main unit and the subwoofer to

turn them on.

3

Set the same S-AIR ID for the main unit and the

subwoofer as follows:
Main unit
 Press SYSTEM MENU .
 Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR” appears,

then press ENTER .

 Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR ID” appears,

then press ENTER .

 Press /  repeatedly to select “A,” “B” or “C,”

then press ENTER .

Subwoofer
Set the S-AIR ID selector  on the rear panel to the

same S-AIR ID as the main unit.
Tip

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

4

Confirm the connection status.
Once connection between the main unit and the

subwoofer is established, the S-AIR indicator  on

the subwoofer lights up.

Tip

You can also connect up to 10 optional sub units to the main unit. In

this case, set the S-AIR ID to the same ID as the main unit.

For details on the S-AIR ID of the sub unit, refer to the Operating

Instructions supplied with the sub unit.

Identifying the subwoofer with your main

unit (Pairing operation)

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

the subwoofer to establish the connection.

However, if a neighbor has an AIR-SW10Ti system 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 subwoofer. Also, you

may be able to hear the audio transmitted from your

neighbor’s main unit on your subwoofer. To prevent this,

you can identify the subwoofer with your main unit by

performing the pairing operation.
Before pairing

Connection is established by the S-AIR ID (example).

3

Check that the S-AIR ID of the main unit is the same

as the S-AIR ID of the subwoofer.

4

Perform the pairing operation of the main unit and

the subwoofer as follows:
Main unit
 Press SYSTEM MENU .
 Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR” appears,

then press ENTER .

 Press /  repeatedly until “PAIRING” appears,

then press ENTER .
“OK?” flashes.

 Press ENTER  again.

“PAIRING” flashes and the main unit is ready for

pairing with the subwoofer.

Subwoofer
Press PAIRING  on the rear panel of the subwoofer

using a pointed object.
When pairing is performed, “COMPLETE” is

displayed on the main unit for 2 seconds and the

PAIRING indicator  on the subwoofer lights up.

To cancel pairing

Change the S-AIR IDs of the main unit and the

subwoofer to different S-AIR IDs.

To stop the pairing operation midway

It takes a few seconds to complete the pairing of the main

unit and subwoofer after pressing PAIRING  on the

rear panel of the subwoofer in step 4.

You can undo the pairing setting before completing the

pairing.
If you have done the pairing operation of only the main

unit, repeat  to  of step 4 again.

If you have done the pairing operation of both the main

unit and subwoofer, repeat  to  of step 4 and press

PAIRING  on the rear panel of the subwoofer.
Tip

You can also pair the main unit with optional sub units. For details

on turning on the pairing function, refer to the Operating

Instructions supplied with the sub unit.

If the S-AIR connection is unstable

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

devices near the system.

In this case, the connection may be improved by

changing the RF CHANGE (Radio Frequency Change)

setting on the main unit.

1

Press SYSTEM MENU .

2

Press /  repeatedly until “S-AIR” appears, then

press ENTER .

3

Press /  repeatedly until “RF CHANGE” appears,

then press ENTER .

4

Press /  repeatedly to select the desired

setting.
The default setting is underlined.
AUTO

Normally select this setting. The main unit changes

the RF CHANGE setting to “ON” or “OFF”

automatically.
ON

The main unit transmits sound by searching for the

best channel for transmission.
OFF

The main unit transmits sound using a fixed channel

for transmission. When you select this setting, select

the S-AIR ID that provides the best connection.
