ABOUT PARADIGM

In the early 1980s Paradigm was just an idea in the minds of a couple of twenty somethings who loved music. Unlike today, there was no 225,000 square-foot factory, no 36,000-cu.-ft. on-site anechoic measurement chamber, just a desire to make really good sounding speakers and sell them at a down-to-earth price. Today our speakers are sold on six continents. We’ve been voted #1 Speaker Brand 22 times* and fans scour the web to buy used versions of our original speakers. That should tell you something about Paradigm quality. In our SHIFT™ Series, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned about sound and adapted it for today’s wireless listening devices. For more info visit us at paradigm.com.

ABOUT YOUR SOUNDTRACK™ 2 SYSTEM

Your Soundtrack 2 System™ is a high-performance design loaded with Paradigm technology. In other words, it’s got loads of very cool stuff you won’t ﬁnd in any other soundbar/subwoofer system. For those who salivate over technical details, we’ve included a Tech Specs section in the back of this manual to give you the skinny on why your Soundtrack™ 2 System sounds so good!

The difference Soundtrack™ 2 System will make to your television, music and movies can’t be put into words, but you’ll hear it and you’ll feel it. It’s an experience that takes you beyond a high performance system to a place where you’re absolutely lost in the experience. It’s the Paradigm Difference. We guarantee you won’t be able to keep that difference a secret and we hope you don’t. Spread the word. Talk about your Paradigm Soundtrack™ 2 System. BRAG about it. Play it and let others listen.

We’re all different and our sound should reﬂect that. Some of us like music, others love movies, others are gaming enthusiasts and others enjoy all of it. No matter who you are or where you live, what you

like or what you do, we want to be The Ofﬁcial Sound of YOU™.

Read this manual and follow all instructions. If you still have questions visit the Q&A page on our website at paradigm.com.

LED STATUS (de estado). Indica el estado de la conexión entre el

subwoofer y la barra de sonido (es decir, No apareados, Buscando conexión, Apareados). Para obtener información adicional, consulte la Guía de instalación.

Line-Level Input (Entrada de nivel de línea) (para usar solo en

la conexión del subwoofer con cables). Permite la conexión desde SUBWOOFER OUTPUT (Salida para subwoofer) de la barra de sonido o Sub/LFE Out (Salida para Subwoofer/LFE) de un receptor de A/V, procesador u otra fuente de bajo nivel externa apropiada.

IMPORTANTE: No conecte un cable a la entrada de nivel de línea si

ya instaló una conexión inalámbrica al subwoofer.

Apareamiento. Esta función inicia el apareamiento inalámbrico

entre el subwoofer y el transmisor interno de la barra de sonido.

Nivel del subwoofer. Balancea el nivel de salida del subwoofer con el de su barra de sonido. Para más información sobre este punto, consulte la Guía de instalación.

FUNCIONAMIENTO INALÁMBRICO

Alcance del transmisor

En un auditorio típico, el transmisor inalámbrico integrado a su barra de sonido tiene una alcance máximo de 15 m (50 pies). Las obstrucciones tales como paredes, muebles de gran tamaño, tabiques divisorios de la sala, etc., pueden reducir ese alcance. No coloque la barra de sonido y el subwoofer más separados que el alcance recomendado.

El transmisor inalámbrico de la barra de sonido cuenta con un diseño de autosensado digital sin comprimir de 2.4 GHz que se ajusta automáticamente para la mejor conexión digital monitoreando al mismo tiempo la integridad de la corriente de datos.

Para conocer las instrucciones de apareamiento, consulte la Guía de instalación.

FUNCIONAMIENTO CON CABLES

Uso de entrada Line-Level Input desde la salida Sub/LFE Out de la barra de sonido. Utilice un cable de interconexión RCA a RCA (no incluido)

para conectar el subwoofer como se muestra.

Aprendizaje de códigos

El sistema Sistema Soundtrack™ 2 es capaz de aprender ciertos códigos de los controles remotos que usted ya posee, como el código de volumen del control remoto de su televisor. Cada código se debe programar por separado. Para programar, siga los pasos que se indican a continuación.

1. Mantenga pulsado 3 segundos el botón de la interfaz de la barra de sonido correspondiente a la función que desea programa (por ej. volumen, silencio, encendido/apagado).

2. El LED de la Sistema Soundtrack™ 2 comienza a destellar para indicar que el sistema está en modo de ‘aprendizaje IR’.

3. Apunte el control remoto de la fuente hacia el frente de la barra de sonido y pulse el botón de la función correspondiente de dicho control. El LED azul destella rápidamente 4 veces para indicar que el código IR ha sido “aprendido” y luego vuelve a una luz azul permanente.

4. Repita desde el paso 1 para programar cada función.

NOTA: Para aprender un comando Silencio de un control remoto que usted ya posee, pulse el botón Sync (Sincronismo) de la parte superior de la barra de sonido 3 segundos y luego continúe con el paso 2 precedente.

CONEXIÓN

Para realizar una rápida instalación de la barra de sonido y el subwoofer, consulte las instrucciones de la Guía de instalación.

INSTALACIÓN DE LA BARRA DE SONIDO

Consulte la Guía de instalación.

INSTALACIÓN DEL SUBWOOFER

BREAK-IN

Although your system will sound great ‘out of the carton’ it will sound even better when broken in. Allow it to operate for several hours before you listen critically.

CLEANING

Do not use strong or abrasive cleaners on your system. Gently wipe the cabinets with a damp soft cloth.

PLACEMENT

Soundbar: On a credenza or shelf (Fig. 1a)

The soundbar must sit on a ﬂat surface directly below your video display. Supplied stability feet must be attached. See the Setup Guide

included for how to attach the feet.

Fig. 1a

Fig. 1b

Soundbar: On a wall

For more information, refer to the ‘Wall Mounting’ section.

(Fig. 1b)

Subwoofer: Positioned Vertically (Fig. 2a)

If using the subwoofer in the vertical position it must sit in the supplied cradle.

Subwoofer: Positioned Horizontally (Fig. 2b) If using the subwoofer in the horizontal position the supplied feet must be attached to allow adequate clearance for heat dissipation. Refer to the

Fig. 2a

Setup Guide included for how to attach feet.

Fig. 2b

NOTA: El control remoto de su decodiﬁcador de cable/satelital o el

control remoto de su televisor pueden usar un código que el sistema Sistema Soundtrack™ 2 no puede aprender. En estos casos, deberá usar el control remoto que viene con su sistema o un control remoto universal o de aprendizaje.
