Speaker FAQ

What are the indicators that indicate my ZiiSound D5x is Powered ON.

For the master speaker, the Volume LED indicator are lit when the ZiiSound D5x is powered ON. 

This is the best indication your speaker is Powered ON.

For the other linked speakers, press and hold the Power ON/Standby button for 4 seconds to 

initiate speaker identification mode. This will indicate what channel mode the speaker is in.

Is there any power saving features from the ZiiSound D5x?

Yes, the RIGHT Master speaker will enter standby automatically after more than 10 minutes of zero 

activity from both, the 

Bluetooth* and AUX-IN** sources. It will also instruct other speakers and 

subwoofer linked to the RIGHT master speaker to enter standby to save power.

*  Power saving mode only applicable when no 

Bluetooth connection is detected for 10 minutes.

**  Power saving mode only applicable when there is no audio on the AUX-IN input.

LinK Tips and Tricks

How to identify which speaker is the LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT speaker.

•  Press and hold the Power ON/Standby button located at the rear of the speaker for 4 seconds.  

The Link LED indicator will blink its respective LED Channel it was configured for.

My LEFT and CENTER Channel D5x does not respond to my actions on either buttons or 

Bluetooth 

connections when they are in LINK mode

.

•  This is normal. The D5x in slave mode does not respond to any button (except the Power 

ON/Standby to indicate the identity of the speaker via LED indication) as they are receiving 

cues from the RIGHT Master speaker. This includes 

Bluetooth connection, AUX-IN input and 

the Volume Touchpad.

Can I add more speakers or remove speakers from a 2.1 Setup?

Yes you can. However you would need to Factory Reset all the speakers and Subwoofer and reconfigure 

them again. Please refer to section 

4.3. Reset to factory setting

 and 

section 2.1 or 2.2

. to reconfigure 

your system again. For operations on the ZiiSound DSx wireless subwoofer, please refer to its user 

manual for more information.

I cannot re-connect my speakers together. All that is shown is all the LEDs blinking in unison and 

going off after 1 minute. What should I do?

This is an error indicator to indicate that one of the links are not present in the defined previous setup. 

There are 2 ways to troubleshoot. 

a) Power ON all your speakers and press the LINK TouchPad / Button again to attempt to link 

the speakers together. Ensure that the Subwoofer have their mains Powered ON.

b) Return to Factory default settings for all the speakers and wireless Subwoofer involved and 

re-link them again.
