 Almost complete solution |

I have been using the Sony S-Airplay for several weeks now and find it to be a very good solution for integrating my sound system around the iPod/Phone. It was very easy to set up, just plug and play for me. Remote units work well all over house and into garage. There are just a few things I wish Sony had done:
1. Most frustrating is the AM/FM tuner section does not output thru the rear audio out jacks on the base unit. I have the base unit connected to home stereo receiver in order to play iPod thru main system as well as remote units. The ability to send radio thru the base station would have provided a complete integrated solution. But as is, you can play radio section only thru the wireless remote Sony units. Don't know what they were thinking there.
2. Also while the remote units allow you to navigate thru radio presets and switch from iPod to radio, you must go to the base station to change band from AM to FM. Again, don't know what thinking was on this either.
Otherwise, I find this product to be very useful and worth the cost. |

I bought this mostly for the wireless speaker feature. I plan on getting additional speakers and to eventually add a Sony home theater with the S-Air
I find turning it on is difficult - but once I figure it out it is great!!! It is probably the fault of the ipod - I have difficulty using it on other ipod players
I wanted to buy additional speakers but they are not on sale at the moment - as soon as Amazon offers them on sale I plan on buying |
Not a bad system

I got this a couple weeks ago and i just set it up today with my brother. He is the electronics expert in the family.
the sound is great, not BOSE or Boston Acustic great, but Sony great. Of course you are playing MP3s and you lose some quality on that.
set up was easy, i have NO idea why i was afraid to try it out on my own and not have my brother come over, but i need to boost his confidence every once in a while too.
you get two speakers with it and i think with more over my room it would sound better. overall though it is a farely nice system to play the iPod on |
It worked fine out of the box.

| I have received this item and I am considering returning it because it is not an iPhone compatible device. Review the iPod compatbility at [...] When docking 2 different iPhones I received and error (Not an iphone compatible device....). I am also considering returning it because my iPhone cannot connect to my wireless network when docked on the base. I tested this with 2 differend iPhone (iPhone 3G and iPhone 3Gs). I like to listen to Pandora on my iphone and this will not work with this product (wireless network issue). I do not get these errors with my Bose sound dock II. |
Sound cuts out at least once a minute.

I was looking for a wireless speaker system and thought this might be the one. No so. Sony gets points for making this very easy to set up with quick-start instructions and a very intuitive system. They lose big time on execution though. Even though the satellite speakers could identify the signal, they continued to search. I tried the pairing function, but even that did not lock the speakers onto the signal. The result was a system that plays about twenty seconds of my selected audio, cuts out for a few seconds to search elsewhere, and then comes back to my audio.
Dismayed, I set up the two speakers right next to the central system. I turned off and unplugged every electrical device in a 25 foot radius. Again I went through the pairing function. The sound improved slightly; now it only cut out every 22 seconds.
I can't live with that, certainly not for over $100. This is a pretty big disappointment. It's going back to Amazon. |
S-Air Pandora

The Sony S-Air does not support the 3rd generatoin ipod Touch. This is why some users have no problem and some (like me) spend hours getting frustrated. I will be returning, Sony needs to update.
If you just want to play your own library from an iPod, it is great and easy to use. |
