SAFETY

___________________________________________________________________________________

To ensure that this high-quality and user-friendly WIRELESS SOUND
TRANSMITTER gives you lasting satisfaction and enjoyment, it is very important
that the following points are observed when setting up the appliances.

The sound system is designed for transmitting and receiving sound signals.
Any other use is explicitly forbidden.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the receivers.

Do not damage the mains cables.

Make sure that fluids or objects do not come into contact with the inside of the
appliances (danger of short circuiting).

Only suitably qualified personnel are authorized to open and service the appli­ances.

If the appliances are not used over a longer period of time (e.g. vacation), then
the mains plugs should be pulled out of the sockets.

When cleaning the appliances, use only a soft, damp cloth. Use only clean
water.

The type plate is attached to the base of the receivers.

THE WIRELESS SOUND TRANSMITTER

________

The WIRELESS SOUND TRANSMITTER system allows the transmission of sound
signals from your TV set to the Surround speakers without use of a wire.
The transmission range is approx. 20 meters. The system is designed for use in
a room.
The following illustration shows the connection diagram for the system.

Note:

Use your Grundig TV set speakers (e.g. with Arganto DPL) for the black-colo­red WIRELESS SOUND TRANSMITTER system.
If you have purchased the “polar-colored” WIRELESS SOUND TRANS­MITTER system, you can order the matching speakers at your authorized
dealer (RS Set 1, ordering no. GAE 4942).

»SURROUND« cinch sockets on the transmitter using the cinch cable
provided.

2 Insert the plug power supply socket into the »14V« socket.

signal path is not blocked by any obstacle between itself and the speakers
and receivers.

STARTING

_____________________________________________________________________________

Switching on and operation

1 Switch on both receivers by using the »POWER« switch.

– The displays illuminate red.

2 Switch on your television set.

3 Activate the »Dolby Surround Prologic« (see the operating manual for your

TV set) function in the sound menu for your television set.

Notes:

The transmitter will be automatically switched on if the TV programme or the
AUDIO/VIDEO playback is transmitted with Dolby Surround Prologic.
– The transmitter display illuminates green.

The sound signal of the TV set is transmitted to the receivers via the transmit­ter without use of a wire and the receivers are ready for operation.
– The receiver displays illuminate green.

If a sound signal is not transmitted, the transmitter and both receivers will
switch off automatically (approx. 1-2 minutes).
– The display illuminates red.

Notes on operation and possible interference

Your WIRELESS SOUND TRANSMITTER is equipped with an HF system which
enables the transmission and reception of audio signals without additional
cable. International and national regulations limit the HF transmission power to
avert radio interference signals which could, for example, come from your
neighbors. The HF output is 10 mW. This guarantees a receiving distance of
approx. 30 m in free space. If the distance to the transmitter is greater, the sig­nal is too weak to be received.
Under certain circumstances, persons, walls or other surfaces can reflect the
radio signals. Reflected signals mixed with direct (non-reflected) signals can
cause signal disturbance, called multipath reception. This can lead to audio
distortion or a short period of loss of sound. If this type of signal disturbance ari­ses, positioning the transmitter in a different location will be sufficient to
rectify the problem.
