    About S-AIR products
    There are two types of S-AIR product.
     S-AIR main unit (this unit): This is for 
    transmitting sound. You can use up to three 
    S-AIR main units. (The number of usable 
    S-AIR main units depends on the use 
    environment.)
     S-AIR sub unit: This is for receiving sound.
    –Surround amplifier (optional): You 
    can enjoy surround speaker sound 
    wirelessly.
    –S-AIR receiver (optional): You can 
    enjoy system sound in another room.
    To make use of the S-AIR function, you need to 
    insert the wireless transmitter into the unit and 
    the wireless transceiver into the S-AIR sub unit.
    Note When you insert the wireless transmitter/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 transmitter/
    transceiver.
    To insert the wireless transmitter 
    into the unit

     mark.
    Note Remove the screws that are indicated in the 
    illustration. Do not remove other screws.
    2Insert the wireless transmitter.
