the main-unit, which has the “L” indication (next to the speaker-connector).
- Insert the “black” wire of the left speaker-box into the “black” ( - ) speaker connector
beside the main-unit, which has the “L” indication (next to the speaker-connector).

SUBWOOFER - BASS LEVEL CONTROL
- The bass level can be adjusted by the bass level control at the rear of the subwoofer, you
can adjust it anytime as desired.
LIGHTCURRENT© WIRELESS AUDIO TECHNOLOGY
The lightcurrent© technology uses safe invisible infrared light to wirelessly transmit count.
But unlike normal infrared systems, this new technology, lightcurrent© functions much
like a light-bulb, doing away with the need for line-of-sight, covering a wide area range
and eliminating radio frequency Emissions/interference. The docking platform transmits
an uncompressed audio signal in all directions, which bounces off walls, ceilings, and
even furniture in your environment, eventually reaching (at the speed of light) the wireless
2.1 channel speaker system - providing the luxury of cordless, uncompressed, noise-free,
uninterrupted audio with unmatched sound quality.
