Be careful of the following

• Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects into the *speaker duct.

*Speaker duct: A hall for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet(enclosure).

• Set the distance between this unit and Wireless Receiver within 10m.

• Optimum performance can be implemented only when the Wireless Transmitter and the Wireless Receiver within distance of 2m to 10m is used since communication failure may occur if longer distance is used.

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

•

It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for the

Wireless Transmitter

and

Wireless Receiver

to communicate with each other.

• When the unit is turned off, the Wireless Transmitter is in standby mode (off) automatically after about 10 seconds.

• If the Wireless Transmitter is turned off, the Wireless Receiver will not function.

About Ferrite Core

Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker cables and SOUND SIGNAL cable (for connecting to this unit and wireless receiver).

This ferrite core can reduce noises.

How to attach the ferrite core

1 Press the stopper [a] of the ferrite core to open. 2 Wind the speaker cables once on the ferrite core. Pass the SOUND SIG-

NAL cable and speaker cables straight and wind the cable of woofer once on the ferrite core. Attach the ferrite core near the unit and the wireless receiver (Refer to the fig.3 and comment.).

3 Close the ferrite core until it clicks.

The length here is as short as possible.

Be careful of the following

If there is a strong electromagnetic wave product nearby, interference may occur. Put the unit (Wireless Receiver and main unit) away from there.(Ex: Microwave oven) If there is no audio signal for longer than 10 minutes, the Wireless Receiver and Wireless Transmitter will be automatically switched to standby mode. In power saving mode, both LEDs will turn red. LEDs will turn blue when there is any audio signal back. If you operate main unit then wireless speakers (rear speakers) sound within a few seconds in standby mode.
