Precautions
Preparing the unit
Connect the unit and S-AIR main unit to listen to sound from the S-AIR main unit.
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 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 unit and the S-AIR main
unit is most effective, and install the unit and the S-
AIR main unit there.

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.
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.
