WIRELESS SYNC INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
WIRELESS SYNC INSTRUCTIONS
LATENCY SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS
Off: No power.
Fast blinking: Set-up mode.
Dim: Unit in standby mode, no transmission.
Slow blinking, ‘off’ to bright: Waking from standby mode
and synching.
Slow blinking, dim to bright: At least one subwoofer is synched.
Permanently On: All subwoofers synched and receiving signal.
1. Plug in PT-1 wireless transmitter.
2. Press and hold sync button on rear panel of PT-1 for 3 seconds.
The LED will blink quickly.
3. Within 60 secs of pressing the sync button all subwoofers must
be plugged in. Once all subwoofers are synched, the LED will
remain ‘on’.
The latency switch adjusts the delay between the PT-1’s audio
signal input and the subwoofer receiver’s RF output, optimizing
integrity of the wireless transmission. Start with the switch in the
15ms position. If you experience sound quality issues (i.e drop-outs,
pops, ticks), you can improve the connection by moving the switch
to 20ms or 25ms to increase latency.

All subwoofers must be unplugged from outlets.
TIPS!
Once all subwoofers have been synched, if necessary they can be
unplugged and moved without resynching again.
To minimize the chance of signal dropouts or signal interference,
keep the PT-1 transmitter out of range of a microwave oven, mobile
telephone or a Bluetooth device operating on the same frequency
ABOUT YOUR PT-1 TRANSMITTER
In a typical listening room the PT-1 transmitter has a maximum range
of 50’ (15 m). Obstructions such as walls, large pieces of furniture,
room dividers, etc., may reduce this range. Do not place subwoofer(s)
and transmitter farther apart than the recommended range. The PT-1
is a 2.4 GHz digital design that automatically adjusts for best wireless
connection while constantly monitoring the integrity of the data
stream. An RCA audio cable is required (not included) to connect it to
your A/V receiver or preamplifier (see dealer).
One PT-1 transmitter can be used with up to four wireless Paradigm
subwoofers. See dealer for details on connecting multiple subwoofers.
