The AIRSA17TI is doing what I bought it for, pretty much... I am using a ALTA33PC receiver and the AIRSA17TI to integrate both my PC based Pandaora account, PC based iTunes, iPod, and Touch based Pandora and iTunes into my multi-room home entertainment center. It is doing this very well.
I thought the FM tuner would be an added perk. It isn't. I turn the AIRSA17TI to FM Tuner as the source and the ALTA33PC receiver doesn't recognized the change. I have to go across the house and hit the source button on the ALTA33PC receiver to make it recognize the change in input. Not as nice as i would have liked... I think I could fix the problem by buying the S-AIR™ Remote Commander but that is another $100.
It accomplishes the things I bought it to do. The music signal quality is as expected or better. My only complaints with the design are with the power toggle switch on the back rather than an easily accessible power button and the power plug is larger than I expected.

I had two different sound systems in different parts of the house. I was tired of shuttling my IPod back and forth between them. Also I wanted music in a 3rd part of the house. My ideal was to have the IPod plugged in permanently somewhere and be able to pipe music to any/all of those three areas and be able to control the music from each of the rooms.
I bought an S-Air Transmitter for Apple® iPod® for one of my existing sound systems and plugged my IPod into it. I bought an S-Air receiver for the other sound system. I bought an S-Air Remote Speaker for the room with no music.
I set everything up in about 10-15 minutes. It was extremely straightforward and simple.
The good news is that it all works as it supposed to and sounds good.
The bad news is that there is an extremely frustrating (to me) design shortcoming. The Remote Speaker works exactly as I wish. It's remote lets you pause/play, skip songs, adjust volume. The Transmitter and Receiver each have remotes for those rooms. Those remotes let you Pause/play, skip songs .... but inexplicably they don't allow you to control the volume of the outputs that are fed into the existing sound systems.
I find this extremely annoying and can't for the life of me imagine why they didn't provide that feature.
So in summary, it's a good product. It works as designed. However this missing feature means that for me, rather than being 100% satisfied, I'm only 75% satisfied. That being said, I do plan to keep the system and use it.
I would still recommend the system so long as you know exactly what you're getting and so long as you wouldn't find this missing feature to be a "show stopper".

I wanted to mount this under a walll mounted flat panel TV so I could watch Ipod videos on the TV and listen to music and the radio. It would be really convenient if I could use the remote control to turn this thing on and off. To make matters worse the on-off switch is located on the back of the transmitter where you can't really see it.
The rest of the system works fine.
The transmitter broadcasts on 3 different channels as does my Bravia surround sound. Each speaker recieves on the 3 cahnnels so you can switch between the ipod transmitter and the surround system. Unfortunately the speaker remote does not control this function :(
Sony has good electronics. Wish they spent some time thinking about thir remote controls (bravia sync is nive but that remote could use some work)
A:AnswerThe AIR-SA17Ti is a wireless device, it does not have a USB connection thus it cannot be connected to the BDV-E780w home theater system in that manner. It can be connected to the BDV-E780w using A/V cabling or via the wireless option. The AIR-SA17Ti can provide power to the IPod/IPhone that is connected to the it base.
