This connection sends an audio signal to the unit from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, 
perform this connection.
Method 1: Audio cord (D) connection
This is the basic connection and sends an analog audio signal.
Method 2: Digital optical cord (E) or digital coaxial cord (F) connection
When the TV has a digital optical or coaxial output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting 
with a digital optical or coaxial cord in addition to an audio cord connection.
Note The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL 
has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

You can transmit sound from the unit to an S-AIR product, such as a surround amplifier or S-AIR 
receiver.
To transmit sound from the unit, you need to insert the wireless transceivers into the unit, surround 
amplifier, and S-AIR receiver.
For details of S-AIR products, see “Using an S-AIR Product” (page 84).
Note When you insert the wireless transceiver, make sure that the AC power cord (mains lead) is not connected to a wall 
outlet (mains).
 Do not touch the terminals of the wireless transceiver.
 Insert the wireless transceiver so that the V marks are aligned.
 Do not insert anything other than the wireless transceiver into the EZW-RT10 slot.

Step 3: Setting up the 
Wireless System
To use the wireless system, you need to set up 
the surround amplifier. Before setting, make 
sure that the wireless transceivers are inserted 
into the unit and the surround amplifier correctly 
(page 27).
This wireless system is called “S-AIR.” For 
details of the S-AIR function, see “Using an 
S-AIR Product” (page 84).
The unit transmits sound to the surround 
amplifier that is connected to the surround 
speakers. To establish sound transmission, 
perform the following Steps.
1Press "/1 on the unit.
The system turns on.
2Set the SURROUND SELECTOR switch 
of the surround amplifier to 
SURROUND.
3Set the S-AIR ID switch of the surround 
amplifier to A.
4Press POWER on the surround 
amplifier.
The POWER / ON LINE indicator turns 
green. If it doesn’t, check the transmission 
status as follows.
To check the transmission status
You can check the status of sound transmission 
between the unit and surround amplifier by 
observing the POWER / ON LINE indicator of 
the surround amplifier.
For details of the surround amplifier, see 
“Surround amplifier operation” (page 114).
To enjoy sound by using 
headphones
You can enjoy the system’s sound by connecting 
the headphones to the PHONES jack on the 
surround amplifier.
Note The volume of the unit may become minimum if you 
turn off the surround amplifier while the headphones 
are connected to the surround amplifier, or radio 
reception is poor. In this case, “HP NO LINK” and 
“VOLUME MIN” appear alternately in the front 
panel display. Check radio reception, and set the 
volume again.
When you use multiple S-AIR 
products
See “Establishing sound transmission between 
the unit and S-AIR sub unit (ID setting)” 
(page 84).
To attach the cover to the 
surround amplifier
After connecting and setting, you can attach the 
cover to the surround amplifier for organizing 
and storing excess speaker cords.
