∫ Wireless setup diagram

[Note[

≥ Do not use the wireless sound system and digital transceiver in a metal cabinet or bookshelf. ≥

When using the wireless sound system in a separate room, thick or dense walls may reduce the 15 m (49 ft) operating range. If you experience an intermittent link (e.g. sound cutting out), try moving the wireless sound system to a different location nearer to your home theater unit.

∫ Avoiding interference

To avoid possible interference, do not place the wireless sound system near any of the following devices.

The wireless sound system uses the same radio frequencies as other devices that may be present in your home.

The wireless sound system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (e.g. “ LED) flashes on your home theater unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the wireless sound system.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your Home Theater System.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless sound system.
