USE ONLY DOMESTIC AC OUTLETS
Connecting the unit to an outlet supplying a higher voltage may create a fire hazard.
HANDLE THE POWER CORD WITH CARE
Do not disconnect the plug from the AC outlet by pulling the cord; always pull the plug itself.
Pulling the cord may damage it. If you do not intend to use your unit for any considerable
length of time, unplug the unit. Do not place furniture or other heavy objects on the cord, and
try to avoid dropping heavy objects on it. Do not tie a knot in the power cord. Not only could
the cord be damaged, but a short circuit could also be caused with a consequent fire hazard.
PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Avoid installing this product under the following conditions:
• Moist or humid places
• Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment
• Extremely cold locations
• Places subject to excessive vibration or dust
• Poorly ventilated places
Do not expose this product to dripping or splashing. DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS FILLED WITH
LIQUIDS ON OR NEAR THIS PRODUCT!
MOVING THE UNIT
Before moving the unit, be sure to pull out the power cord from the AC outlet and disconnect
the interconnection cords with other units.
WARNING SIGNS
If you detect an abnormal smell or smoke, turn this product off immediately and unplug the
power cord. Contact your reseller or Vision.
PACKAGING
Save all packing material. It is essential for shipping in the event the unit ever needs repair.
IF ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS NOT USED TO RETURN THE UNIT TO THE SERVICE CENTRE,
DAMAGE IN TRANSIT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.
WATTS
The most consistent standards for measuring watts are “Program Power” and “RMS” because
these measure average sustained levels.
Where loudspeakers have integrated amplifiers, then load (resistance, measured in ohms) is
known so the wattage rating is fixed.

SPEAKER CABLE
A 5 metre (16 ft) speaker cable is included to connect the master to the slave. You can use
other speaker cable; it must be unshielded with a gauge of no less than 0.75mm. WARRANTY
VOID IF YOU USE UNSUITABLE SHIELDED CABLE E.G. PHONO OR MINIJACK CABLE.
IR RECEIVER SWITCH
FRONT - The IR receiver on the front will be active, meaning IR remote control can be used
normally.
REAR – The IR receiver on the rear will be active, meaning the front IR receiver is disabled.
Suitable for wired control system integration.
OFF – both front and rear receivers, and the phono input are disabled. Use this when this set is
“slave set” in daisy-chain.
DAISY-CHAIN
You can connect multiple sets together – no limit to number of sets. The first set in chain is
“master set” which switches inputs and adjusts volume.
All “slave sets” need IR switch set to OFF which disables phono input and activates minijack
input.
IN – receives post-mix line-level signal from another CS-1800P set. Any set receiving signal via
this input is “slave set". This input only works when IR receiver switch set to OFF.
Note: Do not connect a laptop or phone directly to this input. This input is only for signal that
has been processed by a pre-amplifier.
OUT – passes post-mix line-level signal on to another set.
BLUETOOTH AUTO-SWITCHING
Use BT PRIORITY on remote control to enable auto-switching from line-level input to Bluetooth
input when a Bluetooth device is paired.
If OFF switching needs to be done manually.
Note: Bluetooth is not always implemented properly on PCs so it may not work properly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your system is not operating properly, please refer to the following information.
Problem
Correction
No power light
Check power source and power input cable
Check fuse in power cable plug
Check battery in remote
Power light on but no
sound
Turn the volume up with remote.
Make sure the output volume on your test device is at full and
if possible that it works through the built-in loudspeakers.
Hum or noise
Check that all input cables shielded properly. Poor quality
cable with uneven shielding introduces noise.
Long cables are particularly susceptible to picking up induced
noise. Adding Ferrite cores may help to reduce this.
Make sure all source devices are connected to the same power
source. If disconnecting a laptop from power solves the
problem then this is definitely the cause of the problem.
Slave loudspeaker not
working
Check speaker cable to ensure there a proper connection at
both ends.
If possible test with another slave loudspeaker.
Slave loudspeaker is
quieter than master
loudspeaker
This is typically caused by the use of incorrect cable between
the master and slave loudspeakers. It is too thin, or shielded.
Replace cable immediately.
Device not connecting to
Bluetooth
Bluetooth driver implementation on Windows PCs is not
consistent. You may need to download drivers from your
computer manufacturer‟s website, and even then you may not
be able to make it work.
IR Remote not working
Check IR switch on rear set to front or rear
