INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Peachtree Audio deepblue3!
At Peachtree Audio we design products that utilize a unique combination of
analog and digital technologies that work together to provide a compelling
music listening experience. The deepblue3 combines a high-performance
all-in-one speaker with the convenience of a Bluetooth wireless receiver
to connect to any Bluetooth equipped mobile device or PC. The deepblue3
also provides analog and optical digital inputs so you can connect up to
three separate devices. The deepblue3 features two 1-inch tweeters, two
3-inch midranges and a dedicated 6.5-inch woofer all driven by a second
generation 440-watt power amplier to provide amazing sound quality and
output capability from a relatively small footprint.
This manual is intended as an overall guide to your deepblue3. It explains
how to set it up, pair and connect devices and use it from the top panel
and remote control. There are also some tips and troubleshooting should
you have additional questions. We sincerely hope the deepblue3 provides
you with many years of music listening enjoyment!
Please visit our website at www.peachtreeaudio.com for the latest tips
on getting the best sound quality from the music stored or streamed from
your computer and from all of your sources. Please contact your dealer or
Peachtree Audio directly if you have any questions that this manual does
not answer. Also, now is a great time to visit our website and register your
deepblue3.
Thanks again for you support and happy listening!

Bluetooth pairing mode.
B Push and hold the Bluetooth button on the top panelfor at least 4 seconds to enter
Bluetooth pairing mode. The Bluetooth LED will ash blue and white in this mode.
C Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device. Typically, Bluetooth controls are found
in the device settings menu. Enter the Bluetooth menu on your device and select
“deepblue3” to conrm the pairing.
D Once paired with a device, the Bluetooth LED will light blue. A double-beep sound will
also indicate that the connection is estabilished.
Note: Pairing remains even when the unit or the Bluetooth device is powered off or
is taken out of range. The unit will attempt to connect with the last connected device
when that device is powered on and in range. Your Bluetooth device may pause music
playback when the Bluetooth connection is lost. You may need to press the play button
on the Bluetooth device to resume playback after the Bluetooth connection is restored.
Reconnecting Your Device
If you move out of range or turn off the Bluetooth feature the deepblue3 will be disconnected
from your device and the LED will ash blue. To reconnect, simply move back into range,
conrm Bluetooth is on and open the Bluetooth menu and, if necessary, tap on the
“deepblue3” to reestablish the connection.
Out of Range or Lost Signal
When the paired device is more than ~33 feet away from the deepblue3 or there is something
blocking the Bluetooth signal (wall, oor, etc.). The LED will ash blue to indicate the
connection between the device and the deepblue3 is lost. To reestablish a lost connection:
B Move the connected device back into range (within ~33 feet), and make sure there’s
a clear line of sight and there are no obstructions between the deepblue3 and the
Bluetooth device.
C The connection will automatically be reestablished and the LED will turn light blue.
D If the connection is lost, you may need to reconnect the device and the deepblue3 again.
Please follow the “Reconnecting Your Device” instructions above.
AUX Analog Audio Input
Use the included 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable or 3.5mm to RCA cable to connect the line-level
analog audio output from a TV, set-top box or similar device.
Notes: Phono input requires the use of a phono preamplier. When using the headphone
output of a connected device, that device’s volume control will affect the input level to
the deepblue3. The maximum output level of the deepblue3 will be limited if the volume
control of the connected device is set to a relatively low level.
OPT Digital Audio Input
Use the included optical cable to connect the S/PDIF digital audio output from a media
player, CD player, TV, set-top box or similar device.
TROUBLESHOOTING & SPECIFICATIONS
“I don’t hear anything playing.”
Make sure the deepblue3 is plugged in and turned on (LEDs lit after buttons are touched).
Check that the correct input is selected; Bluetooth (Bluetooth LED blue), AUX (Input LED lit
blue) or OPT (Input LED lit white).
If the Bluetooth LED is ashing blue, the input is selected but a Bluetooth device is not
currently connected. Check the following next:
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
Make sure your Bluetooth device is within ~33 feet of the deepblue3. Move closer or adjust the
position of the deepblue3 to establish a connection.
Make sure music is playing on your device (not paused) and that the volume on the device
is not muted or set to a very low level. Many devices will pause playback if the Bluetooth
connection is lost.
If AUX is selected, make sure the wired connection is fully inserted on the connected device
and the deepblue3. If the connection is ok, check the volume level of the connected device (if
using a headphone output) to make sure it is not muted or set to a very low volume level.
If OPT is selected, make sure the wired connection is fully inserted on the connected device
and the deepblue3. If the connection is ok, check the volume level of the connected device (if
using a device with a built-in volume control) to make sure it is not muted or set to a very low
volume level.
Make sure the volume of the deepblue3 is set to a comfortable listening level.
