1) Activate Bluetooth operation (Bluetooth ON) in
your Smartphone, Computer, or Tablet and make
certain the source is very close to the NX-
DECO5 for best possible pairing success.
2) Turn the NX-DECO5 ON using either the
Power button on top of the main (powered)
speaker on the Power button on the IR remote
(LED in the IR window will glow brightly when the
NX-DECO5 is ON)
3) Set the NX-DECO5 source to Bluetooth
Operation (blue LED on in the IR Window on the
front of the powered speaker)
4) Press the “BT Pair” button on the top of the
active speaker or on the IR remote control
5) The Blue LED in the IR window should be
flashing rapidly at this point. The NX-DECO5 will
search for a source for 3 minutes, if nothing is
found it will revert to Standby status.
6) Select “NX-DECO5” in the list of Bluetooth
devices that show up on your Smartphone,
Computer, or Tablet
7) The LED in the IR window should now be a
solid blue light that indicates you are connected.
Note: You only need to “pair” your Smartphone,
Computer, or Tablet with the NX-DECO5 once,
then anytime you use that device the NX-
DECO5 will always be included in the list of
Bluetooth devices. When you first turn on the
NX-DECO5 it will search for Bluetooth sources it
has already been paired with for 3 minutes. It will
automatically connect to any Bluetooth source it
has previously been paired with that is within
approximately 10 meters. The NX-DECO5 can
remember up to 6 paired sources.
At this point you can stream your music, or any
audio you connect to via the Internet.
VOLUME SETTINGS
The NX-DECO5 stores the volume setting of
each audio source, so as you change sources it
will remember the last setting of that source,
independent of the other two, and play the sound
of the selected source at the same level as the
last time you used it.
BLUETOOTH
OPERATION
6
Before returning your NX-DECO5 for service,
you can save time (and often embarrassment)
by checking for a few problems that are most
often encountered:
Power light not lit,
No sound from either speaker:
• Is the power cord plugged in tight to both the
NX-DECO5 and an active AC wall outlet?
• Is the correct source selected on the
NX-DECO5 (See Introduction Item
#
2 on
Page 3)?
• Is the connecting audio/optical cable
tightly plugged in to both the source and
NX-DECO5?
• Is the audio source ON and with it’s volume
turned UP
• Is the volume UP on the NX-DECO5?
No sound or weak sound from the slave
(passive) speaker:
• Double check the 2-conductor speaker wire
connections between the two speakers. Make
sure the (exposed) bare wire is inserted into
the screw type binding posts AND that the +
to + and – to – polarity is correct.
TOSlink Optical input sounds like a
clicking noise:
• Set the source output to PCM audio
Bluetooth Problems:
If you cannot get the source to pair to the
NX-DECO5, go back through each step in the
Bluetooth Operation section on Page 6.
Bluetooth operation has a limited wireless
range of approximately 10 meters. This can
vary greatly due to walls, floors, and other
electrical fields from microwave ovens, wire-
less network routers, fluorescent lights etc.
Also, the quality of sound can degrade (inter-
mittent, fuzzy, etc.) as you move the source
away from the NX-DECO5 speakers, if you
move too far the connection will be broken.
