compatible product. It is also called the
“S-AIR sub unit.”
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.
Check that the S-AIR ID of the

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, with the music system
connected by the audio cable, and then
install the main unit in the living
room. You can then listen to music
from the main unit located in the
living room with the music system
connected with this unit in the
bedroom.
