INTRODUCTION
Advent Wireless Speakers eliminate the hardest part of adding speakers to almost
any location in your home – running and hiding hundreds of feet of speaker wire.
Like FM radio, the Advent Wireless Speaker System’s 900 MHz signals travel with
ease through walls, floors, ceilings and other obstacles, delivering high-quality
stereo sound virtually anywhere in or about the home. Resonator-controlled circuitry
for drift- and static-free reception, coupled with outstanding range – up to 300 feet* –
make the possibilities for your enjoyment of the Advent Wireless Speaker System
nearly unlimited.
The Advent Wireless Speaker System is compatible with most audio sources, i.e.
TVs, VCRs, stereo receivers/amps, personal stereos, boom boxes, DSS receivers,
and individual stereo component pieces (CD players, cassette players, etc.) The
contents of this manual cover various connection options and detailed operating
procedures for making the Advent Wireless Stereo Speaker System a valued part
of your lifestyle. If, after having reviewed the instructions, you have any questions,
please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-732-6866.
*Maximum range; results achieved may vary by environment.
