Safety Information
Precautions for the Unit
SECURITY
• Before operation, check if the voltage of the
unit is in line with the local voltage.
• Hold the plug to disconnect it from the mains
outlet. Do not pull the power cord.
• When the plug of the unit is connected to the
mains outlet, the unit will be still connected to
DC even of the power is turned off.
• Disconnect the plug as soon as liquid or
objects enter the unit. The unit cannot be
used until being checked by experts.
• Do not open the cabinet. Laser rays
employed by the unit may damage eyes. Any
servicing should be done by qualifi ed service
personnel.
PLACEMENT
• Put the unit where ventilation is good enough
to prevent overheating.
• Never put the unit in direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
• To protect the pickup, do not put the unit
where there is a lot of dust. If there is dust
on the pickup, use a cleaning disc to clean
it. Refer to the operation instructions of the
cleaning disc you bought.
CONDENSATION
• The unit is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm place.
• Use of the unit in a humid place.
• In these cases, the unit will not work.
Unloading the disc and leaving the unit on
for about one hour will evaporate the water,
allowing the unit to function normally again.

• Use a soft cloth with a little neutral detergent
to wipe the cabinet, panel and controls. Never
use abrasive paper, polishing powder or any
solvent such as alcohol or gasoline.
This equipment generates, uses and can

equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance,
any changes or modifi cations not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment. (Example – use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to computer or
peripheral devices.)

Unpacking the Unit
Carefully remove the unit from the carton and
remove all packing material from the unit. Check
that all the following items are in the box:
• Wireless main unit
• Speaker (x2)
• Remote control
• AC adaptor (2 large, 1 small)
• iPod adaptor (x8)
If any item is missing, consult your dealer
immediately.
We suggest that you retain the original carton

to return your unit for service. This is the only
way to protect the unit from damage in transit.
When you dispose of the carton and packing
materials, please do so properly. We care about
our environment.
Remove any descriptive labels or stickers from
the front panel of the unit. Do not remove any
labels or stickers that may be affi xed to the back
panel of the wireless main unit or the speakers.
Protect your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber
feet to prevent the product from moving when
you operate the controls. These feet are made
from non-migrating rubber material specially
formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains
on your furniture. However certain types of oil
based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber feet
to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue
on the furniture. To prevent any damage to
your furniture we strongly recommend that you
purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available
at hardware stores and home improvement
centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber feet before you place the
product on fi ne wooden furniture.

Basic System Setup
Choosing a Location for your System
Setting up a wireless audio system allows you much more fl exibility than with conventional wired
speakers. Wireless speakers may be placed anywhere within the room, or in another room within 100
feet of the wireless main unit. Since there is no physical connection between the system components,
feel free to be creative with your system layout. iSymphony wireless systems are also wall-mountable
for additional fl exibility.
Minimum Separation from Other Devices
• To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between system components (wireless
main unit and wireless speakers) and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency
(2.4 GHz band).
Wireless main unit
Wireless LAN
Cordless phone and other
electronic devices
Wireless speakers
Minimum Separation
2m (6 ½ feet)
• The wireless audio system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices
interfere with its communication. When this happens the “Link” indicator fl ashes on the speakers
(refer to page 12) and there is a brief interruption in the audio coming from the speakers. This
is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your
wireless audio system. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another
location, or move the wireless main unit or wireless speakers farther from the interfering devices.
NOTE:
• Do not place the wireless main unit in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
• Depending on your wall thickness and material, the operating range may be reduced.

Basic System Setup
Follow these 5 steps to complete basic system setup.
1. Choose a suitable location for the system components.
• Remember, the wireless main unit and each speaker will need a power outlet for operation.
2. Connect the wireless main unit and both speakers to AC power.
• The larger adapters are for the left and right speakers, the smaller for the main wireless unit.
Speaker (x2)
3. Turn the wireless main unit and speaker ON.
• The system defaults to FM Tuner mode. You should immediately hear static from the speakers.
• If you do not immediately hear audio from the speakers, please refer to Page 31 “Speaker pairing
and adding additional speakers”
