Getting Started
To use the wireless system, you need to set up 
the surround amplifier. Before setting, make 
sure that the wireless transmitter and transceiver 
are inserted into the subwoofer and the surround 
amplifier correctly (page 25).
This wireless system is called “S-AIR”. 
For details of the S-AIR function, see “Using an 
S-AIR Product” (page 74).
The subwoofer 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 control unit.
The system turns on.
2Make sure that the SURROUND 
SELECTOR switch of the surround 
amplifier is set 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 not, check the transmission status 
as follows.
To check the transmission status
You can check the status of sound transmission 
between the subwoofer and surround amplifier 
by checking the POWER / ON LINE indicator 
of the surround amplifier.
To enjoy the sound by using 
headphones
You can enjoy the system’s sound in a place 
apart from the control unit by connecting the 
headphones to the PHONES jack on the 
surround amplifier.
Note• When you connect headphones to the surround 
amplifier, neither the control unit nor the surround 
amplifier outputs sound from the system’s speakers.
• The volume of the system may become minimize 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 the multiple S-AIR 
product
You can prevent miss transmission between the 
S-AIR products by setting a different ID for each 
S-AIR product. For details, see “Establishing 
sound transmission between the S-AIR main 
unit and S-AIR sub unit (ID setting)” (page 75).

Getting Started
To prevent the transmission by 
neighbours
To prevent the transmission from neighbours, 
you can identify the S-AIR main unit and 
the surround amplifier by performing the 
pairing operation. For details, see “Identifying 
the S-AIR main unit with a specific S-AIR sub 
unit (Pairing operation)” (page 77).
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.
1Attach the speaker cord cover by 
sliding it down along the grooves along 
the edges of the surround amplifier.
Push the speaker cord cover down until you 
hear a click. Turn the surround amplifier 
upside down, then store the cords in the 
speaker cord cover.
2Insert the tabs of the speaker cord 
holder in the slots of the speaker cord 
cover, and press it into place.
Note• When detaching, remove the speaker cord holder, 
then remove the speaker cord cover. To remove the 
speaker cord holder, slightly press the catch of the 
holder and lift off. To remove the speaker cord cover, 
slightly splay open the edges of the cover and slide 
down.
• Do not use excessive force to store the cords.
