To identify the unit with a

If you have two or more sub units, you
can listen to different sound sources on
each sub unit by selecting the MULTI
SOURCE mode.
In MULTI SOURCE mode, since each
sub unit can receive different sound
sources from the main unit, this unit
may not display the correct sub unit
sound source information.
To prevent this, differentiate such sub
units from one another by identifying
(coupling) with the unit.
1 Make sure the sub units and
this unit have all established
connection with the S‑AIR main
unit.
2 Aim the unit at one of the S‑AIR
sub units and press COUPLING.
3 Check that “CPL” blinks, and
then stays on in the display to
indicate coupling was
successful.
If “CPL” does not turn on or an error
message appears, see
“Troubleshooting.”
