Identifying the subwoofer

with a specific S-AIR sub unit

(Pairing operation)

It is easy to set the same ID for the subwoofer

and an S-AIR sub unit to establish sound

transmission. However, neighbors may also

receive your system’s sound if IDs are the same,

or you may receive sound from neighbors. To

prevent this, you can identify the subwoofer with

a specific S-AIR sub unit by performing the

pairing operation.

xBefore pairing

Sound transmission is established by ID

(example).
