How to get started
Before you connect the TDAI-1120 to mains power, you need to connect loudspeakers and other sources of
audio. If you have a local network, connection by wire is recommended, as it provides a more stable and
faster network connection than Wi-Fi.
The TDAI-1120 features a wide range of connectors on the back for external audio sources in addition to the
streaming options available through Bluetooth or your network.
Connecting speakers
When connecting the speakers, always connect + and - from the
amplifier to the corresponding + and - terminals on the speaker.
Tips for setting up speakers
You can use the stereo triangle as a good rule of thumb when
determining where to place your speakers. The distance between
the speakers should be the same as the distance from your
listening position to both speakers.
If your room does not accommodate the optimal listening setup,
the TDAI-1120 can compensate for this when you enter the actual
distances to each speaker in the setup menu.

Speaker placement with RoomPerfect™
With a RoomPerfect™ calibration, you can place the speakers up against the wall without negative effects to
the sound. If your speakers have a bass-reflex port on the back, you should allow for a 5cm/2in clearance to
the wall. This will ensure there is no disruption to the functionality of the port.
With a single subwoofer, we recommend placing the subwoofer against the wall between the main speakers.
With two subwoofers, you should position one in each front corner, in line with the main speakers.
Connecting a subwoofer
The TDAI-1120 features a crossover function for optimal integration with any subwoofer.
When connecting to a Lyngdorf BW type subwoofer, you connect the analog output of the TDAI-1120 to the
Bypass input of the subwoofer. In a traditional single subwoofer setup, connect the subwoofer to the left
analog output on the TDAI-1120. For a stereo subwoofer setup, or if you have a subwoofer which has stereo
input, use both left and right analog outputs.
Warning!: Do not connect the TDAI-1120 to a subwoofer with High Level / speaker
terminal inputs, as this will seriously damage the amplifier. Your subwoofers will not play
until the setup has been finalized.

Finalizing the setup
Now you can start enjoying music, but we recommend that you adjust the settings and do a RoomPerfect™
calibration to enjoy everything the TDAI-1120 can offer.
Open the web-page of the TDAI-1120 as described earlier, and we will introduce you to the available menus:
The Home screen refers to the daily operation as performed with the remote control. The page displays
selected input and formats and you can control the volume setting
The Setup section will be described in the following pages.
You can control the volume level with the volume wheel, and the button below will mute/unmute the sound.

Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-1120 – Owner’s manual
16
You can change inputs, voicings and RoomPerfect™ position (individually calibrated positions for optimal
performance). You will be able to see the type and quality of the audio signal received.
The lower section is dedicated to the adjustment of sound, Balance, Bass and Treble. These work as
traditional controls. For Bass and Treble you can not only adjust the levels but can also change the
frequencies that must be attenuated or enhanced.
Polarity inversion is equal to changing + and – on the cables to the loudspeakers. You can do this
individually for each speaker.
The Streaming Audio interface for controlling the built-in media streamer is found in the bottom section of this
page. For information on the use of the interface see section for Streaming Setup.
Hot tip: On your mobile device the Home Screen page of your amplifier can be saved as

Warning: This feature bypasses the volume control!
Do not test this setting with a CD player or similar unregulated signal!
This feature might be selected if you are using the TDAI-1120 in a home theater setup where it is used to
power and calibrate the front speakers and/or subwoofer. Connect your home theater processor to the
selected input.
When selecting other inputs, the amplifier returns to the last current volume.
Input delay:
If the connection of a display has introduced asynchronous playback of audio and video, you can select a
delay time to ensure that the video and audio signals are played back simultaneously.
Output setup
The standard setup is with a traditional pair of loudspeakers. If you want to add subwoofer(s) or in any way
adjust the setup, you will learn in this section how to set up your system before performing the
RoomPerfect™ calibration. There is a selection of output settings to choose from, which allow for loading
dedicated filters to optimize the performance of Lyngdorf speakers and boundary woofers.
Custom Sub will open for your use of any subwoofer design – Advanced will open ALL settings.

Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-1120 – Owner’s manual
19
Note: If you change anything in the output settings of the speakers and subwoofers, you
must do a new RoomPerfect™ calibration.
If you have a perfect speaker setup with two speakers, you do not need to enter anything
under distances.
Delays:
When integrating subwoofer(s) with speakers, you need to adjust for differences in phase so that the two
parts of the signal (from speaker and subwoofer) arrive to your ear at the same time. This is more effectively
achieved digitally than by trying to find the correct settings on the subwoofer(s). The TDAI-1120 will adjust
for phase based upon your entry of the distances between the speakers’ and subwoofers’ locations in
relation to your listening position (focus position).
Measuring distances
Splitting the sound into speakers and subwoofer(s) requires that the outputs be adjusted in time (phase), so
that the two parts of the sound arrive to your ear at the same time. This is achieved by measuring the actual
distances to your speakers and subwoofer(s). Through the differences in distances the TDAI-1120 can
calculate the delay which need to be added to each output. This data must be entered in the Setup Menu.
When measuring the distance to your speakers, measure from the preferred listening position (the focus
position) to the front of the speakers. When measuring the distance to a subwoofer, measure from the
preferred listening position to the back corner of the subwoofer.
Speakers Subwoofers
Using other manufacturers’ subwoofers requires a few more entries:

Amplifier delay:
On analog and digital out, you can set an amplifier delay. If you have an active subwoofer with internal signal
processing (DSP) or a separate amplifier, there may be a natural electronic delay in these products.
Refer to the original manufacturer’s instructions to obtain the correct amplifier delay in milli-seconds and
enter this data. The TDAI-1120 will delay the signal to the speakers to match the delay entered.
