Features  
e AIR-SA20PK is an “S-AIR” compatible packaged product that consists of one S-AIR  
main unit AIR-SA15Ti and two S-AIR sub units AIR-SA15R.  
Connecting the S-AIR main unit (hereaſter called “Main unit”) with the S-AIR sub  
units (hereaſter called “Sub units”) 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 which is  
connected to the 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-RT10/EZW-RT10A.  
is 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.

If the S-AIR connection is

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

In this case, the connection may be  
improved by changing the RF CHANGE

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. is 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:  
LINKED* : e sub unit is connected to  
the main unit.  
PAIRING : Pairing is in progress.  
RMT OFF* : e sub units are not  
accepting signals from the remote  
because the remote control function is  
set to “RMT OFF.”  
S-AIR* : Displayed from the point  
power of the sub unit is turned on  
until connection with the main unit is  
established.  
TIME NG* : e Daily Timer start and  
end times are set to the same time.  
UNLINKED* : e connection with the  
main unit is cut off.  
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.  
* Displayed on the sub units only.  
e transmission distance differs  
depending on the usage environment.  
Find a location where transmission  
between the main unit and the sub  
units is most effective, and install the  
main unit and the sub units there.  
ꢁꢄGB  
 
 
On safety  
On the speaker system*  
is 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.  
Completely disconnect the power  
supply cord and the power cord from  
the wall socket (mains) if the main unit  
and the sub units are not going to be  
used for an extended period of time.  
When unplugging the units, always  
grip the plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
Should any solid object or liquid get  
into the main unit and the sub units,  
unplug the units, and have them  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating them again.  
If there is no improvement, move the  
unit far away from the TV.  
* e sub units only.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Clean the cabinet with a soſt dry cloth.  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad,  
scouring powder, or solvent, such as  
thinner, benzine, or alcohol.  
e power supply cord and the power  
cord can be changed only by a qualified  
service facility.  
On placement  
Do not place the main unit and the  
sub units in an inclined position or  
in locations that are extremely hot,  
cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking  
adequate ventilation, or subject to  
vibration, direct sunlight or a bright  
light.  
Be careful when placing the main unit  
and the sub units 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 on the main unit and the  
sub units 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.*  
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.*  
* e sub units only.
