OPERATING THE SA 2.1
OPERATING THE SA 2.1
Volume Control
How volume is controlled, is dependent upon SA 2.1 connections, configuration and input selection. Depend-
ing upon the current configuration, the volume may be adjusted with the SA 2.1 IR Remote, the audio receiver
(or other source) remote or the audio receiver (or other source) volume control. In some cases, (if a local
source is also connected to the Aux In on the SA 2.1 Receiver) the volume for the source (i.e. an A/V receiver)
connected to the SA 2.1 Transmitter may be controlled by the A/V receiver remote or volume control, while the
volume for the source connected to the Aux In will be controlled using the SA 2.1 IR Remote. Please review the
following table to determine the appropriate method for a given application.
Before using the volume controls, confirm that the SA 2.1 Transmitter and Receiver front panel LEDs are illumi-
nated solid blue as described in section: Operating the SA 2.1/Turning the SA 2.1 ON/OFF.
CONNECTION
VOLUME CONTROL
SA 2.1 Transmitter Speaker Level Input
Single Room Stereo or Rear Surround -
Adjust volume
with the audio receiver/amplifier remote control or
volume control.
Multi-room -
Adjust volume with the SA 2.1 IR Remote
in the remote room.
Multi-zone -
Adjust Zone 2 volume with the SA 2.1 IR
Remote in the remote zone.
SA 2.1 Transmitter Pre-Amp Level Input
Variable Output (Single Room) -
If adjusting volume
using the audio receiver/amplifier remote control or
volume control changes the volume at the speak-
ers connected to the SA 2.1 Receiver, use the audio
receiver/amplifier remote or volume control.
Fixed Output (Single Room) -
If adjusting volume using
the audio receiver/amplifier remote control or volume
control does not change the volume at the speakers
connected to the SA 2.1 Receiver, use the SA 2.1 IR
Remote.
Multi-room/Multi-zone -
Varying combinations of
Speaker Level and Pre-Amp Level instructions above,
determined by system configuration.
SA 2.1 Receiver Aux In
Press the Input button on the SA 2.1 IR Remote to
select the Aux In source. (The SA 2.1 Receiver LED will
illuminate solid orange.) Adjust volume with the SA 2.1
IR Remote.
SA 2.1 Sub Out
Sub Out level will be adjusted with speaker level vol-
ume as described in the above sections.
Input/Source Selection
How the input/source is selected is dependent upon SA 2.1 connections. Typically, if the SA 2.1 is connected to
an A/V receiver, sources will be selected using the A/V receiver remote or front panel controls. If an additional
source is connected to the SA 2.1 Receiver Aux In, that source will be selected using the SA 2.1 IR Remote.
Please review the following table to determine the appropriate method for the given connections.
CONNECTION
SOURCE/INPUT CONTROL
A/V Receiver Connected to the
SA 2.1 Transmitter Speaker or Pre-Amp Level Inputs
To select sources connected to the A/V receiver, use
the A/V receiver remote or front panel controls. With
a source playing, SA 2.1 Transmitter and Receiver
front panel LEDs should both be solid blue. (SA 2.1
Transmitter Input/RF lock) If the SA 2.1 Receiver LED is
solid orange, (SA 2.1 Receiver Aux In) press the Input
button on the SA 2.1 IR Remote once so the SA 2.1
Receiver LED is solid blue, (SA 2.1 Transmitter Input/RF
lock).
Single Source Connected to the
SA 2.1 Transmitter Speaker or Pre-Amp Level Inputs
To select a single source connected to the SA 2.1
Transmitter, with the source playing, and the SA 2.1
Transmitter and Receiver front panel LEDs are both be
solid blue, (SA 2.1 Transmitter Input/RF lock) no ad-
ditional action is required. If the SA 2.1 Receiver LED is
solid orange, (SA 2.1 Receiver Aux In) press the Input
button on the SA 2.1 IR Remote once so the SA 2.1
Receiver LED is solid blue, (SA 2.1 Transmitter Input/RF
lock).
Single Source Connected to the
SA 2.1 Receiver Aux In
To select a single source connected to the SA 2.1
Receiver Aux In, such as a cable box or MP3 player, if
the SA 2.1 Transmitter and Receiver front panel LEDs
are both solid blue, (SA 2.1 Transmitter Input/RF lock)
press the Input button on the SA 2.1 IR Remote once
so the SA 2.1 Receiver LED is solid orange, (SA 2.1
Receiver Aux In).
ID Codes
RF Interference -
The ID Code switches set the RF (radio frequency) channel that a SA 2.1 Transmitter/Receiver
pair are broadcasting/receiving. In most cases the default factory setting will function normally and will not
need to be changed. If the SA 2.1 system is not transmitting/receiving properly (SA 2.1 Transmitter and Receiver
front panel LEDs both slow blue flash) there may be RF interference that is affecting system performance. RF
interference can be caused by large metal objects such as steel beams and refrigerators or radio interference
from other electronic devices such as cordless telephones or other wireless devices. If RF interference is caused
by large metal objects it may be necessary to reposition the SA 2.1 Transmitter and/or Receiver. If RF interfer-
ence is cause by other electronic devices changing the ID Code switch to another channel may eliminate the
problem.
1.
Change the ID Code switch setting on both the SA 2.1 Transmitter and Receiver to another ID Code.
Con-
firm both units are set to the same ID Code.
Multiple Transmitters/Receivers -
Multiple SA 2.1 Transmitter/Receiver pair can be used to transmit/receive dif-
ferent audio signals from/to different sources, rooms, etc. If using multiple SA 2.1 Transmitter/Receiver pair, set
the ID Code switches on both pair to different channels.
1.
Set the ID Code switch setting on SA 2.1 Transmitter/Receiver pair ‘A’ to ID Code 1.
Confirm both units are
set to the same ID Code.
2.
Set the ID Code switch setting on SA 2.1 Transmitter/Receiver pair ‘B’ to ID Code 2.
Confirm both units are
set to the same ID Code.
