WHERE TO LOCATE YO R
F/X WIRELESS S RRO ND
FOR THE BEST SO ND
Your F/X Wireless Surround speaker should be
placed behind the listening area (on the floor,
on a table or on an elevated open shelf) and
up to 30' (10 meters) from the transmitter:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Orient the loudspeaker
according to the left and right channel indicator
on the amplifier plate (see #7 under controls).
Whichever placement option you choose, set the
ROOM POSITION button on the amplifier plate
located on the bottom of loudspeaker appropriately
to “floor,” “table”or “shelf.”
Before powering on the loudspeaker, connect its
power supply to the amplifier plate and plug into a
live wall outlet.
NOTE: See pages 9-10 for detailed

5.1 AND 7.1 CHANNEL
CONNECTION OPTIONS
Depending on your home theater
receiver/processor, you will be using a 5.1 or
7.1 channel hookup. If you have a 5.1 receiver,
connect the left and right Surround channels
to your F/X Wireless Surround (there are no
5.1 Surround Back channels).
If you are using a 7.1 channel receiver connect
both the left and right Surround Back, and the
left and right Surround channels.
SETTING P YO R F/X
WIRELESS S RRO ND
F/X Wireless Surround Position Setting:
Your F/X Wireless Surround can provide a credi-
ble multi-channel surround experience from a
range of placement locations within your media
space but should optimally be placed behind the
seating area. Choose FLOOR, TABLE (ear height
of +/- 2 feet) or SHELF (2 feet or more above ear
height) in accordance with the vertical place-
ment of the loudspeaker cabinet.
Due to the special nature of its complex radiation
pattern, the top surface of the loudspeaker cabi-
net should be unobstructed and facing towards
the ceiling. The long axis of the cabinet should
be parallel to the long dimension of your home
theater’s video screen and centered behind the
listening area.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Manual vs. Automated Loudspeaker Setup
Many new home theater receivers and preamp/
processors feature microphone-based automated
setup systems. Due to the special nature of the
F/X Wireless Surround’s operating principles,
we strongly recommend not using an automated
speaker calibration system for Surround and
Surround Back channel loudspeakers.
Follow The Instructions Below To Set p
Your F/X Wireless Surround Manually.
NOTE: S RRO ND BACK CHANNELS ARE NOT
APPLICABLE TO A 5.1 SYSTEM.
Gain:
For optimal performance, channel gain (level)
settings on Dolby Digital receivers/surround
sound processors for the Surround and Surround
Back channels should match each other.
Consult your receiver’s owners manual on
how to set channel levels.
1. Surround channel gain should be set so that
the sound level in the seating area matches
or slightly exceeds the sound levels of the
front channels.
2. Surround Back channel gain should be set to
match the gain setting so determined for the
Surround Channels.
Example: If +3dB is the appropriate
channel level to achieve Surround channel
sound levels that match the Front channels,
then Surround Back channel level should also
be set to +3dB. Note that Surround Back test
tones will be quieter than the Surround
channel when their gain settings match.
NOTE: By design, Surround Back channels
are attenuated (not as loud) relative to
Surround channels for any given channel level
setting. For optimal performance, always set
Surround Back channel gain to match Surround
channel gain.
F/X WIRELESS SURROUND
TELEVISION

SETTING P YO R F/X
WIRELESS S RRO ND (continued)
For most home theater receivers and processors,
“Distance” settings govern channel delay for op-
timal performance from Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1
sources. For the F/X Wireless Surround, you
need to determine the actual distance from the
listening area to the loudspeaker cabinet and
from the loudspeaker cabinet to the side walls.
Consult your receiver/processor owners manual
for proper distance setting procedures.
For Symmetrical Rooms
For symmetrical rooms, whereby the distance
between the loudspeaker cabinet and major
reflecting surfaces (side walls, or large pieces of
furniture) are approximately equal, the distance
setting for the Surround channels appears in
Table 1 (below).
The distance setting for Surround Back
channels should simply match the actual
distance of the loudspeaker behind the
listening area (“D” in figure 1).
Example: Table 1 shows that Surround Left and
Surround Right delay should be set to 30 feet
for a 20 foot wide symmetrical room when the
F/X Wireless Surround is placed 2 feet behind
the listening area.

NOTE: If your room’s dimensions and loudspeaker placement falls between or beyond the room width
and/or placement distance values in Tables 1 or 2, then you may interpolate from the tables accordingly.
NOTE: Some home theater receivers require setting speaker delay in milliseconds rather than speaker
distance in feet. If you have such a receiver, you may read the values in Tables 1 and 2 as time delay
in milliseconds.

For Non-Symmetrical Rooms
(Figure 2)
In accordance with Figure 2, measure A and B,
the distances between the loudspeaker cabinet
and the left and right side walls respectively.
Now refer to Table 2 to determine the appropri-
ate distance settings for Surround Left and
Surround Right channels.
Example: The F/X Surround speaker is placed
8 feet behind the listening area of a non-sym-
metrical room. The loudspeaker is 12 feet from
the left side wall (A = 12 feet) and 8 feet from
the right side wall (B = 8 feet). From Table 2,
set Surround Left distance to be 33 feet and
Surround Right to be 29 feet.

TRO BLESHOOTING
Loudspeaker does – Check that the speaker’s power is plugged
not power on. into a live wall outlet and is securely connected
to the amplifier plate.
– Ensure the rear panel power switch
is in the “On” position.
Transmitter Does – Check that the transmitter’s power supply
Not Power On is plugged into a live wall outlet and securely
connected to the transmitter.
No sound from loudspeaker. – Push the SCAN button on the transmitter for 3 seconds
and then press the scan button on the loudspeaker for
3 seconds to reset the “communications” link between
the transmitter and the loudspeaker.
– Turn up the volume control of the individual channels
through your receiver.
– Make sure the transmitter is plugged into a
live wall outlet
The loudspeaker’s sound – Turn off and unplug the transmitter and
is intermittent, sounds the loudspeaker. Then turn on the loudspeaker
weak or is distorted. and plug in the transmitter.
– Push the SCAN button on the transmitter for 3 seconds
and then press the scan button on the loudspeaker for
3 seconds to reset the “communications” link between
the transmitter and the loudspeaker.
– The loudspeaker could be too far away from the transmitter
to receive a sufficiently strong signal. Try moving it closer.
– Move the transmitter further away from other
electronic devices (see below).
Like all wireless devices, your F/X Wireless Surround may be susceptible to RF interference from
such sources as microwave ovens, WiFi computer systems, video game systems, cordless tele-
phones, blue tooth systems, baby monitors and other devices. In particular, any devices operating
in the 2.4GHz band may cause intermittent wireless connections between the transmitte and
speaker of the F/X Wireless Surround. It is also possible that your F/X Wireless Surround may
affect other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wireless performance problems
by physically separating these devices from your F/X Wireless Surround. Maintaining a distance of
several feet or more between your F/X Wireless Surround speaker and any wireless device should
prevent any mutual interference effects. If you do notice any signal dropouts take care to identify
the root cause (most commonly having other wireless devices too close) and resolve accordingly.
Any interference effects from a microwave oven will cease once the oven stops operating and may
be resolved on a long-term basis by increasing the physical distance between your F/X Wireless
Surround and the microwave oven.
