SETUP
1.
Decide
where
the
subwoofer
will
go
(refer
to
your
subwoofer
owner's
manual).
2.
Most
receivers
(and
pre-amps)
have
a
line
level
subwoofer
output
labeled
Subwoofer
Pre
Out,
Sub
Out,
SW
Out,
etc.
If
you
have
this
connection,
use
one
of
the
two
male
jacks
on
one
end
of
the
supplied
audio
cable
to
plug
into
that
output,
then
use
the
corresponding
(same
color)
jack
on
the
oppo-
site
end
of
the
cable
and
plug
into
the
WA-2
transmitter
input
"8"
(labeled
"Left/LFE").
In
absence
of
a
subwoofer
output
use
both
male
jacks
on
one
end
of
the
cable
and
connect
the
left
and
right
channel
pre-amp
outputs
from
your
receiver
(if
provided)
(not
tape
outs)
to
"8"
(labeled
"Left/LFE")
and
"D"
(labeled
"Right")
inputs
on
the
WA-2
transmitter.
3.
Connect
the
cable
from
the
WA-2

TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the subwoofer does not operate and the red LED's ("C") are flashing
on the WA-2 transmitter and receiver, a simple "pairing" is needed.
Push and hold in button "F" on the transmitter while pushing and hold-
ing button "G" on the receiver and keep pushed until both LED's stop
flashing and glow solid (approximately five seconds).
• Since the WA-2 is a wireless device, it may encounter RF interference
from other wireless devices in the same area. If there is difficulty "pair-
ing" the transmitter and receiver, or their signal connection fades, you
may need to move them closer together and/or farther away from other

wireless products. If other wireless devices in the area have a manual
channel selection option, you can also select a different channel for
their operation to help eliminate interference with the WA-2.
• If you do not get a signal, or get a low level audio signal from the
subwoofer, make sure the subwoofer out level control on your surround
receiver is set correctly (usually at the halfway point sometimes labeled
"OdB"). If your subwoofer out level on your surround receiver is correct,
and you have adjusted the subwoofer volume level and the signal is
still too low, move the gain control "A" to the right (+ 12dB) to increase
the signal to the subwoofer. If the signal is too high, move the gain
control to the left ( -12dB) to reduce signal strength.
