Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Sunfire Dynamic
Series Wireless SDSWiTX Transmitter or
SDSWiRX Receiver.
This wireless system allows an SDS series
subwoofer to be added to a system, without the
need to run long cables the subwoofer.
The SDSWiTX transmitter receives the
line-level subwoofer/LFE signal from the
Home Theater or stereo system’s preampli-
fier or receiver. It then transmits it digitally to
the SDS WiRX receiver located close to the
subwoofer.

to the SDSWiRX receiver.
2. Connect the SDSWiRX receiv-
er’s Sub/LFE line-level output
to the SDS subwoofer’s L/LFE
input.

Transmitter Connection
1. Make sure that the power is off
for all the equipment in your
system, before making any
connections. Do not connect the
supplied AC/DC power apapter
to the SDSWiTX transmitter.
2. Connect the preampli-
er or receiver’s Subwoofer
or LFE line-level output to the

Operation
After the transmitter and receiver(s)
have been connected to the system
and subwoofer, an initial procedure
is required to link the transmitter
to the receiver(s) in the system.
This only needs to be done once,
or whenever a new receiver and
subwoofer are added.
Each transmitter and receiver have
an internal identication (ID) set at
the factory.
Note: The receiver and transmitter
have no power switches. They are
turned on by connecting their power
supplies to an AC outlet.
Linking Mode
1. Turn off all other equipment in
your system, including the sub-
woofer.
2. Turn off the SDSWiRX receiver.
3. Turn on the SDSWiTX trans-
mitter. It will start to look for a
receiver with the same ID.
4. Press and hold the LINK but-
ton on the transmitter for more
than 3 seconds. This will set the
transmitter in its Link Mode.
5. Turn on the receiver. It will
begin looking for a transmitter
with its current ID for 3 seconds,
and then switch to looking for
any transmitter in Link Mode
for 3 seconds. The receiver will
continue this cycle indenitely
until it bonds with a transmitter
with the same ID or it bonds to
a new transmitter.
6. The Link mode will terminate if
no receiver links before the con-
gured timeout. The transmitter
will use the original ID and will
enter normal search mode.
7. The Link mode times out after at
least one receiver has linked.
8. Once the link has been estab-
lished, turn on the audio system
and verify that the audio signals
from the audio system’s sub-
woofer or LFE output play in the
subwoofer.
Adding another Receiver
If you add a new receiver and
subwoofer to an existing transmit-
ter/receiver system, follow this
procedure to link the new receiver
to the transmitter. This will not affect
the link from the transmitter to the
original receiver.
1. Press the LINK button on the
transmitter for less than 3 sec-
onds. In this mode the current
ID will not be changed, and a
normal linking operation will be
triggered.
2. Turn the power on the new re-
ceiver off and on.
Linking Procedure
Once the link has been established
between the transmitter and receiv-
er, the subwoofer will play in exactly
the same way as if a long RCA cord
was used to make connections.
Read and follow the details in the
owner’s manual for your audio sys-
tem and the subwoofer.
Troubleshooting
Subwoofer does not play
• Check that the transmitter and
receiver are both turned on.
• Check that RCA connection
cable between the audio system
and the transmitter is secure
and in good condition.
• Check that RCA connection
cable between the receiver and
the subwoofer is secure and in
good condition.
• Repeat the linking procedure if
required.
• Check that the receiver is not
further than 15 meters away
from the transmitter.
