PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Simple TVA2.1 Amplifier Programming Instructions
Learning IR Mode Setup
This process allows you to learn the three volume-related IR commands
(Vol +, Vol -, and Mute) from your current remote control.
1. Press the IR Learning Button for 2 seconds until the IR Confirm LED blinks
slowly.
2. Place your remote control about 3-4 inches (7-10cm) away from the IR
Learning window of the TVA2.1, aiming the remote directly at the IR Learning
window.
3. Press the TV remote’s Vol + key until the IR Confirm LED blinks for 1 second.
4. Press the remote’s Vol – key until the IR Confirm LED blinks for 1 second.
5. Press the remote’s Mute– key until the IR Confirm LED blinks for 1 second.
6. Confirm proper operation of all three volume commands. If any of the
three commands must be re-learned, all three commands must be re-
learned in order. Repeat ALL 6 steps again; then re-test for proper operation.
Note:
The TVA2.1 exits the IR Learning Mode automatically after learning the
Mute command.
The Vol +, Vol -, and Mute commands must be learned in sequence
(1st Vol+, then Vol -, then Mute.)
Power LED Disabling (Toggle)
In some installations, such as bedrooms, it may be desirable to disable the
Power LED so that it is not visible in a dark room.
To disable the Power LED:
1. Press and hold the IR Learning Button for approximately 10 seconds while
powering on the TVA2.1 until the IR LED (next to the IR Learning Button)
begins to blink. The IR Confirm LED will blink twice when toggling from
"Enabled" to "Disabled" and will blink once when togging from "Disabled"
to Enabled". Once the IR Confirm LED has blinked, you can release the IR
Learning Button.
Note:
After powering on the TVA2.1 Amplifier, the Power LED will always
remain on for the first 2 minutes of operation EVEN IF you have disabled it. If
the Power LED has been disabled, it will turn off after 2 minutes has passed.
The LED will always illuminate for any trouble conditions. Disabling the LED
only affects the LED for normal status conditions.
To Enable the Power LED, repeat the same process.

TV Settings
Certain settings must be changed on the TV when using the TVA2.1. Refer to
your TV's owner's manual for exact instructions for your particular TV. These
settings are typically found in the TV's setup configuration menu.
1. Disable TV Speakers - Since you will be using the TVA2.1 for all of your TV
audio, your TV's internal speakers should be disabled.
2. If using a digital audio signal from your TV to the TVA2.1, make sure that
the TV is configured to use stereo PCM for its audio output.
Connecting loudspeakers
The TVA2.1 is designed to be used with a pair of either 6 or 8 ohm speakers.
Speaker connections should only be made while the TVA2.1 is powered off.
The TVA2.1 features a removable, screw-down speaker terminal.
