Using Rear Inputs with Audio Sources
6Using Rear Inputs with Audio Sources
6.1Choosing the Best Wired Connection Type
There are three types of wired inputs on your Moonraker sound system. When connecting your audio source equipment (e.g.,
television, compact disc player), you may have more than one type of connection available on the source device. To maximize
performance, we recommend using (in order of preference):
• OPTICAL: Digital, immune to hum and ground noise.
• SPDIF: Digital.
• SRC1 and SRC2: Analog.
6.2Connecting Analog Devices
Devices with analog outputs can be connected to SRC1 and SRC2. Suitable devices include:
• Devices with RCA line level output (DACs, CD players, turntables with integrated RIAA preamp)
• Devices with 3.5mm headphone output (MP3 players)
• Devices with 3.5mm line level output (desktop PC sound cards)
8
Using Rear Inputs with Audio Sources
Note: The supplied 3.5mm cable can be used to connect devices with analog outputs such as MP3 players, mobile phones, and
desktop computers.
Note: When connecting to devices with RCA jacks, use the included 3.5mm cable in conjunction with the RCA-to-3.5mm adapter.
6.3Connecting Optical and SPDIF Devices
When connecting to optical and SPDIF devices, the source device must provide an uncompressed PCM audio stream. Use the
following settings on the source device:
• 96kHz, 48kHz, or 44.1 kHz sample rate
• 2-channel PCM

7.1Using Your Television’s Digital Audio Passthrough Feature
When using your Moonraker sound system with your television, we recommend passing audio from any video playback devices
(e.g., Blu-ray disc player) through your television. That is, cables from any video devices should connect only to your television, and a single audio cable should connect your television to your Moonraker sound system. This arrangement has several
advantages:
• The volume level is controlled by your television’s volume setting (some televisions).
• Audio and video are switched together by your television when selecting inputs.
• Allows you to take advantage of any dynamic range compression features in your television (more about this in “Configuring
Your Television For Passthrough”).
• Makes for neater cabling.
7.2Configuring Your Television for Passthrough
Adjust the following audio settings in your television’s settings menu. These settings may be located under “audio settings” or
“advanced audio settings.” Consult your television’s user manual for more information.
10
Configuration with a Television
• Set the television audio output to “2 channel” or “PCM” audio when using the SPDIF or optical digital outputs. Your Moonraker sound system does not accept multichannel, compressed, Dolby Digital 5.1®, or DTS®audio.
• Some televisions do not have the ability to output 2-channel audio when the source audio is multichannel. In this case, you
must configure your source devices (e.g., cable box, streaming media player, or Blu-ray player) to output 2-channel audio.
• Turn off the internal speakers in your television in the settings menu. If the internal speakers are not turned off, the sound
quality will be degraded and you may hear an echo.
• If available, set the bit rate to 96kHz or lower when using SPDIF or optical digital cables. The following bit rates are supported: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz.
• We recommend turning on dynamic range compression in your television. This feature may be labeled “dynamic range
compression,” “auto volume,” “normalization,” “limiting,” or “midnight mode.” Turning on dynamic range compression has
the following benefits:
– Some movie soundtracks (typically on DVD or Blu-ray) are mixed for movie theaters and minimally altered for home
use. When the volume is set to a reasonable level for dialog, the volume level of action sequences may be overwhelming in a home-listening environment. Enabling dynamic range compression will reduce the relative loudness of these
loud passages.
– The volume of loud television commercials will be reduced relative to the program material.

8Using the Pushbutton Dial
The pushbutton dial is a combination knob/button located on the right
channel speaker face below the LED display. It can be used to power the
speakers on and off, adjust volume, and change various system settings.
The pushbutton dial can be pushed inward, as well as rotated clockwise
and counterclockwise.
Note: In this guide, pressing the pushbutton dial refers to pressing the pushbutton dial for less than one second before releasing it. Keeping the pushbutton dial pressed longer than one second will power off your Moonraker
sound system.
Note: For convenience, most features can be accessed using both the pushbutton dial and the remote control.

The remote control can be used to access most features of
the system. When operating the remote control:
• Point the remote control toward the LED display on the
right channel speaker.
• Ensure that there is an unobstructed path between the
remote control and the speaker.
• Avoid placing the speakers in direct sunlight, as this
may reduce the responsiveness of the remote control.

13Troubleshooting
No Sound when Using Optical or Coaxial SPDIF Audio:
• Ensure that the volume level on the connected device is not set too low or set to zero.
• Ensure that the connected device has audio ouput enabled.
• Ensure that the connected device is set to 2-channel audio, as opposed to multichannel or compressed audio.
• Ensure that the connected device is set to one of the following sample rates: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz.
“NOT PCM” Shown on the Display:
• This message is displayed when the Moonraker sound system receives digital audio not in 2-channel PCM format.
28
Troubleshooting
• Set your source device to output 2-channel audio.
• If you are using a television, you may set either your television or source device to output 2-channel audio.
Bluetooth Device will not Connect to the Speaker:
• Bluetooth devices must be paired with your Moonraker sound system system before they can be connected. Refer to
“Pairing with Bluetooth Devices” on page 19 to pair your device if you have not already done so.
• Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
• Ensure that your device is in range of your Moonraker sound system.
• Ensure that your device supports A2DP audio profile.
• Disable, then re-enable Bluetooth audio on your device.
• Turn your device off and back on.
• Turn your Moonraker sound system off and back on.
• Ensure that any nearby devices have Bluetooth disabled to avoid interference.
• Reset your Moonraker sound system. See “Restoring Factory Default Settings” on page 27.
29
Troubleshooting
Your Moonraker Sound System does not Power On:
• Ensure that your Moonraker sound system is plugged in.
• Try powering on your Moonraker sound system by pressing the pushbutton dial for longer than one second.
• Inspect the fuse located in the rear panel. With the power cable unplugged from a power outlet, open the fuse holder with
a flat-blade screwdriver and remove the fuse. If the fuse filament is not intact, replace the fuse with a 1-amp AGC slow
blow type fuse.
The Remote Control does not Work:
• Ensure that the batteries are properly seated in the battery compartment.
• If the speaker face is in direct sunlight, the remote may become unresponsive. Move speaker out of direct sunlight.
• Replace the batteries in the remote control.
Bluetooth Audio Quality is Poor:
• Ensure that your Bluetooth device supports 2.1 + EDR or better.
• For best audio quality, ensure that your Bluetooth device has AAC (iOS devices) or aptX®(some Android devices, e.g.
Samsung Galaxy).
• Try varying the volume setting on your Bluetooth device.
30
Troubleshooting
Poor Sound Quality when Using Analog Audio:
• Try varying the volume setting on the connected device, if applicable.
• For record players, ensure that your device has an integrated RIAA filter and that the filter is enabled.
Sound Only Comes out of One Speaker:
• Ensure that the balance setting (“BAL”) is set to zero. See “Adjusting Bass, Treble, and Balance” on page 23.
• Ensure that the XLR cable is connected to both speakers and that the connectors are properly seated.
• When using analog input SRC1 or SRC2, ensure that the cable is properly seated in the jack.
