Connections and Configurations
1. Channel Selector
The WTR-SYS features four different selectable channels. Be sure to set both the transmitter and receiver
to the same channel for each application.
Playing Different Channels and/or Audio Zones
Example: When you install additional WTR-SYS wireless kits, you can play up to four separate selectable
wireless channels or zones. Set your first WTR-SYS transmitter and receiver to channel #1 for wireless
subwoofer(s). Then, set your second WTR-SYS transmitter and receiver to channel #2 to add wireless
powered surround speakers. Add up to four WTR-SYS transmitter/receiver kits to play different channels
and audio zones throughout your home!
Add Additional Powered Subwoofers & Powered Speakers to the Same Wireless Channel
Example: Extend your bass and add more wireless B.I.C powered subwoofers to your system with the
purchase of additional B.I.C W-Receivers. Set your second W-Receiver to the same wireless WTR-SYS
channel that Subwoofer #1 is set to. Enjoy 5.2 sound from a 5.1 receiver, 7.3 sound from a 7.1 receiver,
or 9.4 sound from a 9.1 receiver! Or, play what’s running in your living room or basement in any other
area in your home.
2. Status LED
There are two LED on each W-Transmitter and W-Receiver – a red power indicator and a blue status
indicator. The red LED will remain lit as long as the unit is on. The blue LED will either flash or remain
constant. If the blue LED is flashing, the receiver or transmitter is looking for a signal. When the blue
LED is constant, the unit has successfully paired the receiver and transmitter.
