QuestionHow do I connect this system to my TV?I've read that it is possible to connect this system to my flat panel TV but haven't found any details in how to go about it. Can anyone explain how this is done or point me in the direction to finding instructions? Thanks!

- Answer There isn’t a way to connect your Television to the ALT-A33PC (Sony - ALTUS S-AIR Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver for PC) wirelessly. The USB transmitter is for PC use only. Unless, the Television is connected to an ALTUS S-AIR product such as receiver/amplifier or all in one Blu-ray home theater system.

QuestionWill this system get interferance from a cordless phone or wireless internet router?I currently have to unplug power to these devices when I want to use my cordless headphones without interference.
Asked 14 years ago by Mo.
- Answer There is a possibility of interference when devices are too close to each other. S-AIR products use a radio frequency of 2.4 GHz. certain electronic equipment or other factors may cause lost connection or instability in S-AIR reception. When using S-AIR products, place them as far as possible from any electronic equipment, or place where S-AIR reception is stable.

QuestionCan I replace wired speakers on a sony home theatre system with the altus speakers?I have a sony dvd home theatre system DAV-HDX275 and want to get rid of the rear speakers that use a wire. Can I use the altus system to replace these speakers? If so, what accessories will I need to additionally purchase? Thanks
Asked 14 years ago by Frank.
- Answer Unfortunately, the ALT-A33PC is not a suitable product for what you wish to accomplish as it’s a wireless audio receiver that is connected to an input of an amplifier, and the transmitter is connected to a PC. To make use of the S-AIR functionality on your DAV-HDX275 you need to have a wireless transmitter (EZW-T100) connected to it and a wireless receiver/amplifier (WAHT-SA10) to connect your rear speakers to.

QuestionFollow Up Question re Record Player.Thank you for answering my question regarding this record player hookup to my S-Air speakers. Is there any less expensive item that you can recommend that will work for this purpose? The items you referred me to are priced from $499-$799 on the Best Buy website, but I am looking for something simpler and more moderately priced. The description of the Sony ALTUS S-AIR Wireless Audio Receiver and Transmitter priced at $99 seemed to say it should work for my purposes but I wanted to confirm this before purchasing. My record player has a built in "pre-amp", so I was hoping to find something that would allow me to simply channel the signal into my existing S-Air speakers. Thanks again.
Asked 14 years ago by Edward.
- Answer Unfortunately there are no inputs on the iPod Altus docks or S-Air Amplifiers. only with the receivers will you have the ability to connect components to transmit wirelessly via S-Air/Altus. There is an Audio out on the S-Air Speakers themselves but this is only for Headphone use and not to transmit.

QuestionCan I attach a record player to this system and will it work with my existing S-Air speakers?I have a set of S-Air speakers and an Ipod dock/transmitter. This does not allow me to plug in my record player. The record player has the standard red and white "audio-out" cables, and I am looking for a device with a compatible "audio in" plug, which will also be cable of transmitting to my existing S-Air speakers. Is this the device I am looking for?
Asked 14 years ago by Edward.
- Answer Edward, to connect auxiliary devices to your S-Air system would require an AV receiver such as the STR-DN2010 to connect to your S-Air speakers
