Establishing Communication
between the Sender and Receiver
Units
To power on the System.
a. Press the button on the rear panel of Sender.
The LED indicator blinks to indicate that the
Sender is plugged in and in Standby mode.
b. Press the button on the rear panel of Receiver.
The LED indicator blinks to indicate that the
Receiver is plugged in and in Standby mode.
c. The Sender and Receiver were pre-paired at
the factory. When an active link is established
between them, the LED indicators will be solid
on and will not flash.
Note: In case the indicators continue to blink
after 30 seconds, it means there is no
active link between the Sender and
Receiver. Try to connect the System
manually using the CONNECT button. For
more, please refer to "Troubleshooting" on
page 8.

To listen to the System.
a. Make sure the System is powered on, and
there is an active link between the Sender
and Receiver.
b. Turn on your amplifier. Play the audio or video
source at your amplifier. Enjoy using the
wireless audio system!
To power off the System.
a. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
The LED indicator will blink quickly first and
then go off to indicate that the Sender is
powered off.
b. Press and hold the power button for 2
seconds. The LED indicator will blink quickly
first and then go off to indicate that the
Receiver is powered off.
Note: It is acceptable to leave both units powered
on when not in use.
Placing the Receiver
To cope with your different specific needs, the
Receiver can provide you three ways of
placement.
1. Placing the Receiver horizontally on a level
surface.
2. Placing the Receiver vertically with the
supplied holder.
3. Wall Mounting the Receiver
Adjusting the Volume
After the System is set up, it is recommended
that a 1 time adjustment of the Receiver volume
is made.
The volume control on the Receiver unit is only
used to adjust the balance of the volume
between the front and rear speakers.
After the volume of Receiver is set up, always
adjust the volume using the volume control on
your amplifier whenever needed.
Note: The volume control on the rear panel of the
Receiver is only used during the set-up
process to establish the relative volume
between the front and rear speakers.

Interference in the Sound
No communication between
Sender and Receiver
Check the AC adapter is connected to the Sender and
power cord is connected to the AC supply for the
Receiver.
Check all the cables are connected correctly. Check to
see if the LEDs illuminate on the front of both the
Sender and Receiver units. If the LEDs are lit solidly
then the communication is working correctly and all
speaker wires and the amplifier operation should be
checked. If the LEDs are flashing then follow through
the "no communication between Sender and Receiver"
section below.
Move your Sender and Receiver slowly to find the best
reception position for your System.
Shorten the distance between your Sender and Receiver. The
maximum distance is 100 feet.
Check if there are any obvious radio frequency interference
sources near your System.
Check the power cords of the System are connected
correctly.
Once the power buttons have been pressed to turn on
both the Sender and Receiver units, the front panel
LEDs should illuminate. If they are solidly on then a
communication link has been successfully established
between the units. If they are flashing on one, or both,
units then press and hold the CONNECT button on
either the Sender or Receiver for 2 seconds. (The
Sender's CONNECT button is at its bottom and the
Receiver's CONNECT button is on its rear panel.) This
will put the unit into the "connection mode" for about 30
seconds. During this period the CONNECT button on
the other unit must also be pressed for 2 seconds so
that it will also enter the "connection mode". Then, the
System proceeds with the connection process between
the Sender and Receiver. During the "connection
mode", the LED indicators blink at a faster rate. When
an active link is established between the Sender and
Receiver, the LED indicators will be solid on and will not
flash.
Note: Try pressing the CONNECT buttons again if the
LED indicators keep blinking after 30 seconds.
