Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM Table-Top Surround Sound
System. The JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM greatly enhances the sound quality of today’s flat screen LED, LCD
and Plasma TVs without having to add a lot of speakers. A single speaker system that requires very little space, the
SOUND PLATFORM can be installed below or in front of a high definition TV or inside a cabinet. You’ll enjoy simulated
surround sound from a single, space- saving cabinet with deep, enveloping bass without bulky speakers or amps. The
JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM easily connects to inputs on today’s flat panel TVs and digital music players and
even syncs to almost any Bluetooth audio device.
JAZZ AUDIO
SOUND PLATFORM
FRONT PANEL
1. STATUS LED - (Behind front panel lens.) One multi-color LED. This LED will illuminate red/blue and flash in
different modes to indicate changes in the SOUND PLATFORM operational status. SOLID RED - OFF (Standby).
Power cord is connected and AC switch is turned ON, but the SOUND PLATFORM is OFF.
SOLID BLUE – ON – JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM is ON.
SINGLE BLUE FLASH - Confirms receiving an IR command from the JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM
Remote for changes to Treble/Bass, EQ Reset, Simulated Surround (SR), single Volume UP/DOWN
command, initiating output of the Bluetooth Connection Code.
RAPID BLUE FLASH - Confirms receiving a continuous IR stream from the SOUND PLATFORM
Remote for ramping volume UP/DOWN. Rapid blue flash also indicates the SOUND PLATFORM is in
Bluetooth pairing mode.
SLOW BLUE FLASH - Audio Mute. Audio signal to the speakers is turned OFF.
TWO BLUE FLASHES; DELAY - Bluetooth input is selected and no Bluetooth device is connected or it is
out of range.
2. IR SENSOR - (Behind front panel lens.) The IR Sensor ‘sees’ the IR control commands output from the
SOUND PLATFORM IR Remote Control when buttons are pressed on the remote for armchair control of the
SOUND PLATFORM. This sensor must be unobstructed for direct line-of-sight to the remote, or the remote will
not be able to control the SOUND PLATFORM.

3. FRONT AND REAR PANEL BASS PORTS -Two pairs of tuned openings in the SOUND PLATFORM cabinet
allow air to ‘release’ from the cabinet and enhance low frequency audio. Allow at least 3 inches of clearance to a
back wall to allow air to move freely from the ports for full bass extension.

4. DIGITAL COAXIAL INPUT - One RCA
jack. Connect to the Digital Coaxial OUT on a
TV or other source. This input is selected by
pressing the COAX button on the SOUND
PLATFORM IR Remote. NOTE: The audio
output of a TV, Blu-ray Disc player, game
console, or DVD player connected to the
SOUND PLATFORM via Coaxial Digital must
be set to PCM in the source’s setup. Please
see the device’s Owner’s Manual for details.
5. DIGITAL OPTICAL INPUT - One TOSLINK® connector. Connect to the Digital Optical OUT on a TV or other
source. This input is selected by pressing the OPT button on the SOUND PLATFORM IR Remote.
NOTE: The audio output of a TV, Blu-ray Disc player, game console, or DVD player connected to the SOUND
PLATFORM via Optical Digital, must be set to PCM in the source’s setup. Please see the device’s Owner’s Manual
for details.
6. AUDIO INPUT - Two RCA jacks. Connect to the L & R Line Level Audio OUT on a TV or other source. This input
is selected by pressing the AUX button on the JAZZ AUDIO SOUNF PLATFORM IR Remote.
7. POWER - Turns the power to the JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM ON/OFF. Always turn the power OFF when
making connections to the SOUND PLATFORM. The Front Panel LED will illuminate red to indicate Standby (power
switch ON, SOUND PLATFORM turned OFF with IR Remote) or blue to indicate that the SOUND PLATFORM is ON.
8. AC INPUT- Universal power connector. Automatically selects AC voltage for a given region. Connect to the
included 2-conductor AC Power Cord. After all audio connections have been made and confirmed, plug the power
cord into an un-switched AC Outlet to power the SOUND PLATFORM.
9. DOWN FIRING SUBWOOFERS - The SOUND SPLATFORM bottom panel features two 5-1/4” subwoofers, one
for left channel bass and one for right channel bass. When handling the SOUND PLATFORM, be careful not to
grab or hold the cabinet bottom where the woofers are located to prevent damaging the woofers. Also take care to
not set the cabinet down on anything but a flat surface clear of obstructions.
When placing the SOUND PLATFORM
on a shelf or stand, be sure there are no
objects under the cabinet that will
damage or block the woofers and check
to make sure there are no objects on the
sides of the cabinet that will block the
space under the SOUND PLATFORM.
Blocking this space will reduce overall
bass performance.

Flat Screen TV SOUND Platform A/V Sources
TABLE TOP INSTALLATION
The SOUND PLATFORM is ideally designed for table top installation. In this application the SOUND PLATFORM
is placed on a cabinet top and becomes a pedestal for the TV. Very little space is required beyond what is already
used by the TV.
DOWN-FIRING WOOFERS/REAR PORTS
The SOUND PLATFORM should always be placed on a solid surface, maintaining the clearance on the bottom
of the unit required for low-frequency sound to freely radiate into the room. Do not place objects next to the
SOUND PLATFORM that will block this space. The SOUND PLATFORM has two rear bass ports that enhance
low frequency sounds. These ports should remain unobstructed with a clearance of at least three inches to a
back wall to assure proper performance
Note:The TV pedestal should not be larger than the top of the SOUND PLATFORM (28”W x 16”D)
CABINET INSTALLATION
The cabinet top should be at least seventeen inches deep to properly support the SOUND PLATFORM. The
SOUND PLATFORM is sixteen and a half inches deep (with grille attached) and extra space will be required
between the SOUND PLATFORM and a wall behind the cabinet for cables connecting the SOUND PLATFORM to
the TV or other A/V sources (3 inches minimum).

SIMULATED SURROUND
The SOUND PLATFORM utilizes advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to create simulated surround sound
from a stereo speaker configuration. The SOUND PLATFORM simulated surround can also be used for music.

OPERATING THE JAZZ AUDIO SOUND PLATFORM
PAIRING AND SELECTING A BLUETOOTH SOURCE
The SOUND PLATFORM will pair without the need to enter a code, if the device implements Bluetooth v2.1 or
later. Legacy pairing is the only method available for Bluetooth v2.0 and older. Each device must enter a PIN
code: ‘0000’ to complete pairing. To ensure that your device is compatible, look for the Bluetooth Music Icon on
the packaging, or go to: www.gadgetguide.bluetooth.com
PAIRING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
1. Turn the SOUND PLATFORM and the Bluetooth device ON.
2. Press the button on the SOUND PLATFORM IR Remote to select the Bluetooth Input. The front panel Status
LED flash twice, delay then repeat.
3. On the device to be paired to the SOUND PLATFORM, turn Bluetooth ON. The Bluetooth controls are typically
found in the device’s ‘Settings’ or ‘Connections’ menu. If the Bluetooth device has previously been paired with the
SOUND PLATFORM, and the SOUND PLATFORM has not been removed from the list of discovered devices, the
Bluetooth device should automatically sync with the SOUND PLATFORM. (Front panel Status LED solid blue.)
4. Press the button on the SOUND PLATFORM IR Remote for a Bluetooth device that has not been paired with
the SOUND PLATFORM, or the SOUND PLATFORM has been removed from its list of discovered devices. The
SOUND PLATFORM will output a sync code that will be received by the Bluetooth device. The front panel Status
LED will flash rapidly until the Bluetooth device accepts the BT Code and pairs to the SOUND PLATFORM.
5. The device will appear in the Bluetooth setup screen on the device being paired.
6. The device should sync to the SOUND PLATFORM. The front panel Status LED will stop flashing and
illuminate solid blue.
7. If switching between hardwired sources and a paired Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth device will remain
‘connected’ as long as the device has not been turned OFF or moved out of Bluetooth range. If the Bluetooth
device has been turned OFF, simply turn it ON, navigate to the device’s Bluetooth setup and sync to the SOUND
PLATFORM
