Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no sound from the Ai81 when connected to the Optical input?

Many digital audio sources feature Dolby Audio which is not supported by the Ai81. Ensure 
your device’s audio output is set to Stereo or PCM. See page 9 for more information. 

What do I do if I have poor audio quality on the Optical input?

This can occur if your TV’s audio output setting is on Dolby Audio or Surround Sound. 
Ensure your device’s audio output is set to Stereo or PCM. See page 9 for more information.

What do I do if audio is only coming from the active speaker?

The most common cause of no audio from one speaker is a poor connection. Ensure the 
metal portion of the speaker wire is in direct contact with the binding posts.

 function is disabled and then enabled at a later time, the device will 

automatically connect as well.

*Note: The Fluance Ai81 will only auto-pair to the last device that it was connected to.

What do I do if my remote control is not working? 

Replace the battery in the remote with a new one. Ensure you are pointing the remote at 
the IR sensor on the Active (right) Speaker and that nothing is blocking the sensor.

What is the range of my Bluetooth connection? 

The Fluance Ai81 operates with Power Class 2 Bluetooth devices, which have a range of 
approximately 33 feet (line of sight). If you are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues 
it is recommended to position the Ai81 away from sources of interference such as wireless 
routers or microwaves.

Another Bluetooth

You can reset any Bluetooth connection by pressing the Bluetooth Pairing Reset button on 
the back of the Active Speaker. You can also press and hold “Play/Pause” on the Remote 
for 3 seconds.
