Features

The AIR-RM10 is an “S-AIR”

compatible product.

Using this unit, you can operate the

S-AIR transmitter product (called

S-AIR main unit) to select a track to be

played on the S-AIR receiver product

(called S-AIR sub unit) and check

information on the display of this

remote commander, such as a track

name, which is sent from the S-AIR

main unit.

For the S-AIR sub unit, power

management, volume adjustment and

coupling operations can be performed

using this remote commander. After

the coupling operation is established,

the S-AIR sub unit and this remote

commander are linked together.

This unit is also compatible with

“MULTI SOURCE” mode. That will

allow you to select and to listen to

multiple sources sent from the S-AIR

main unit to the S-AIR sub units.

Precautions

Notes on use of the S‑AIR

product

 As the S-AIR product transmits data

by radio waves, data 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 data

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 step:

 Do not use 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.

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid get

into the unit, and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it

again.

On placement

 Do not place the unit in an inclined

position or in locations that are

extremely hot, cold, dusty, dirty,

humid or lacking adequate

ventilation, subject to vibration,

direct sunlight or bright light.

 Be careful when placing the unit 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 in the unit during

operation is normal and is not cause

for alarm.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad,

scouring powder, or solvent, such as

thinner, benzine, or alcohol.

Notes on using the remote commander

With normal use, the batteries should last

for about five months.

Do not mix old batteries with new ones or

mix different types of batteries.

If you do not use the remote commander

for a long period of time, remove the

batteries to avoid damage from battery

leakage and corrosion.

Establishing the

connection with an S‑AIR

main unit

Connect the unit and S-AIR main unit.

You can easily establish the connection

by setting the same S-AIR ID for this

unit and the S-AIR main unit.

1

Turn on the S‑AIR main unit.

Note

Pressing / (power) of this unit cannot

turn on the S-AIR main unit. Use the

button on the S-AIR main unit or

infrared remote (if supplied) to turn on

the main unit.

2

Unlock and open the battery

compartment lid, and then set
the S‑AIR ID selector to the
same ID as of the S‑AIR main
unit to be connected.
For details on setting the S-AIR ID

of the S-AIR main unit, refer to the

Operating Instructions supplied

with the S-AIR main unit.

3

Press any button on this unit.

The unit turns on and starts

searching S-AIR connection.

4

Operate the S‑AIR main unit to

turn on the S‑AIR function.

S‑AIR” turns on.

The model name of the main unit

and “LINKED” appears in

information display lines for a few

seconds.

Note

Be sure to also set the same S-AIR ID on the

S-AIR sub unit. Refer to the Operating

Instructions of the S-AIR sub unit for details.

Getting started

Identifying the unit with a

specific S‑AIR main unit

(Pairing operation)

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

the unit and S-AIR main unit to

establish the connection.

However, if a neighbor has an S-AIR

main unit with the same S-AIR ID as

your S-AIR main unit, the neighboring

system may receive and react to the

command from this remote

commander. To prevent this, you can

identify the unit with a specific S-AIR

main unit by performing the pairing

operation.

Before pairing

The connection is established by the

S-AIR ID (example).

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

AIR-RM10.

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.
