1. Connect your left and right rear surround speakers using speaker wire (not supplied). 

2. Set the volume control to low. 

3. Plug the AC power cord into the nearest wall outlet. 

4. Make sure the transmitter is either in standby mode or powered on before turning the 

receiver on. 

The red LED will be illuminated on both units. The green LED on the receiver will flash 
indicating it is searching for the transmitter signal and flicker until it finds a clear signal from 
the transmitter, at which time the receiver’s LED glows solid green.

5. If you have a clear signal, adjust the volume control on the receiver so the audio level 

coming from your rear surround speakers is balanced with the rest of your system. 

6. If there is noise or distortion of the sound, you will need to adjust the antenna and the 

transmitter input level.

THE

 

ANTENNAS

The transmitter and receiver are provided with diversity antennas that fold up or down and 
rotate through a horizontal range of 180 degrees for flawless audio reception and maximum 
positioning options, enabling either or both the transmitter and receiver to be positioned 
vertically or horizontally. The receiver has two antennas to maximize reception. 

• Make sure that the flat side of the antennas on both the transmitter and receiver are facing 

toward each other.

• The maximum transmission range (up to 30 feet) is achieved when there is a clear line of 

sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas.

• You may wish to position the antennas so they face the ceiling at a 45 degree angle, 

reflecting the transmitter signals to the receiver.

EVEL

The input level is located on the back panel of the transmitter which can be used to adjust either 
the line input or speaker input to the transmitter. The input level balances low level input signals 
between the audio source and the transmitter. If there is distortion from your surround speakers 
when you raise the main volume of your system, the input level should be adjusted down. If the 
input level is set too low, the surround speakers will not get enough power to raise the volume to 
a desired level. 

1. Set the front speaker volume level to slightly higher than desired to establish a proper 

output signal level for your rear speaker output.
