About S-AIR function

As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by radio waves, sound may skip when radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not malfunction. As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may prevent sound transmission. As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices it may occur interference or poor transmission as a result. In this case, take the following steps to enhance the transmission of signals: Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near other wireless systems. Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the other wireless systems spontaneously. The transmission may be improved by changing the transmission channel (frequency) of the other wireless system(s). For details, refer to the operating instructions of the other wireless system(s). The transmission distance differs depending on the usage of environment. Find a location where transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit and sub unit there. Place the S-AIR product(s) on the stable surface off the floor. Poor transmission may occur and the transmission distance may be too short if the following conditions exist: There is a wall/floor made of reinforced concrete or stone between the S-AIR product(s). There is an iron divider/door or furniture/electric product made of fireproof glass, metal, etc., between the S-AIR product(s).

Picture noise appears.

Even though you set the aspect The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed. ratio in [TV TYPE] of [VIDEO SETUP], the picture does not fill the TV screen. Color irregularity occurs on the TV screen. The systems speakers contain magnet parts, so magnetic distortion may occur. When color irregularity occurs on the TV screen, check the following items. If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set. If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set. Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
