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.

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.
Notes on using the remote
 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 intend to use the remote for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and
corrosion.

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

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).

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.
