S-AIR Multi-Room Receiver (AIR-SA10): The S-AIR
Multi-Room Receiver allows you to listen to the audio played back from a
compatible Sony S-AIR audio/video component in another room of your home using a
wireless 2.4GHz frequency connection. The S-AIR Multi-Room Receiver can receive
audio from different sources and inputs of your Sony S-AIR compatible component
including AM, FM, DVD, TV/Video Input, Audio Input, and DMPORT. The unit
features two 65mm full-range drivers in a bass-reflex enclosure powered by an

audio from compatible S-AIR compatible components and cannot transmit audio
to other S-AIR compatible components.
S-AIR Wireless Transceiver (EZW-RT10): The supplied S-AIR
wireless transceiver (EZW-RT10) simply plugs into the back of the AIR-SA10
Multi-Room Receiver. This allows the AIR-SA10 to wirelessly receive audio
signals from a compatible S-AIR Sony component in another room of your home. The
Sony S-AIR component will also need a wireless transceiver (158EZWT100, sold separately) inserted
into its chassis.

just the AIR-SA10 Multi-Room Receiver while the Sony S-AIR component is in
standby mode.

your saved presets on compatible Sony components which feature a built-in AM/FM
tuner (you cannot search the entire AM/FM band from the multi-room receiver).
This unit does not allow control of any device connected through a Sony

preset time.
