Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more common problems 
associated with the installation and/or operation of a wireless system. If the problem persists, 
please call toll-free at 1-800-732-6866 or visit www.acoustic-research.com.

Issue:

Cause and solution:

No 900MHz 
wireless sound

•   Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted into the wall outlet and 

the power cord from the AC adapter is fi rmly connected to the transmitter power 
input jack.

•   If you’re using the speaker power adapter, confi rm that it’s fully inserted into a wall 

outlet and the adapter power cord is fi rmly connected to the power input jack on the 
speaker.

•   If you’re using batteries for the speaker, check that they are fresh and inserted with 

correct polarity (+, –).

•   Confi rm that the speaker is in 900MHz wireless mode—the indicator light on the 

front of the speaker should be either fl ashing or solid green. If the indicator light 
is blue, press the ON-OFF / RF-BT button on the back of the speaker to switch to 
900MHz mode.

•   Confi rm that the speaker is turned on and tuned to the transmitter—the indicator 

light on the front of the speaker should be solid green (not blinking).

•   Check that the audio source component (stereo, MP3 player, etc.) is turned on and 

transmitting sound as it normally should.

•   Make sure the volume on your audio source is turned up.

•   Check that the speaker volume is turned up.

•   Make sure you have disconnected the 3.5 mm audio in cable from the AUDIO IN jack.

Making a Direct Connection

1.  Connect one end of the provided 3.5mm audio in 

cable to the AUDIO IN jack on the bottom of the 
speaker.

2.  Connect the other end of the cable to the 

headphone output on your MP3 player or other 
portable audio device.

3.  If the speaker isn’t already on, press and hold the 

On-Off / RF-BT button to turn it on.

 

Note: 

The indicator light on the front of the 

speaker does not change to show that you’re 
using the direct connect audio input. It stays 
the color of the wireless mode it’s in (Bluetooth 
or 900MHz) even while you use the direct 
connection. 

4.  To switch back to the speaker’s wireless 

connection, disconnect the 3.5mm cable from the 
AUDIO IN jack on the bottom of the speaker.

Warning:

 This product is designed to work with 

line level outputs or headphone outputs only. 

DO 

NOT

 connect it directly to speaker outputs as it will 

permanently damage the speaker.

Note: 

The 3.5mm audio direct connection suspends any Bluetooth or 900MHz wireless 

streaming audio you’re listening to. The speaker plays only the direct connect audio when you 
have something connected to the AUDIO IN jack on the speaker.

Connecting to an Audio Source

Connecting to an A/V Receiver

1.   Plug the stereo plugs on the provided Y-adapter audio 

cable into the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the  
transmitter (make sure to match the colors on the plugs 
and jacks).

2.  Plug the mini-plug end of the provided Y-adapter into a 

mini-jack to RCA adapter (not included).

3.  Connect the stereo plugs on the mini-jack to RCA 

adapter to the corresponding left and right audio 
outputs of your A/V receiver, amp, or other audio 
source.

Connecting to a Portable Audio Device

1.   Plug the stereo plugs on the provided Y-adapter audio 

cable into the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the 
transmitter.

2.  Plug the mini-plug end of the provided Y-adapter into the 

headphone output of your MP3 player or other portable 
audio device.

Streaming Audio with 900MHz Wireless Transmitter

1.   Make sure the 900MHz transmitter is on and that there’s something playing on your audio 

source. Turn your audio source up to at least 3/4 full volume.

2.  If the speaker isn’t already on, press and hold the On-Off / RF-BT button for four seconds to 

turn it on.

3.  If the indicator light on the front of the speaker is blue (fl ashing or solid), press the On-Off 

/ RF-BT button once to switch to 900MHz wireless mode. The indicator light starts fl ashing 
green, which means the speaker is trying to link with the 900MHz wireless transmitter. 
The indicator light turns solid green when the speaker is tuned to the 900MHz wireless 
transmitter—you should hear sound coming from the speaker now.

Note: 

If the speaker is not linked to the 900MHz transmitter, or if the transmitter isn’t 

connected properly, the indicator light will continue to blink. If this occurs, please see the 
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

4. Adjust the volume on the speaker as desired. To switch back to 

Bluetooth

 wireless mode, 

press the On-Off / RF-BT button. The speaker’s indicator light turns blue.

Notes:

 

If you’re using a single speaker with this transmitter, keep the L/M/R switch on the 

bottom of the speaker in the “M” position (for mono). If you’re using more than one speaker 
with this transmitter, set the speakers to the “L” (left) or “R” (right) positions according to their 
orientation to the listener.

The speaker automatically retunes if it loses the transmitter’s signal. You can also press the 
Scan-RF / Pair-BT button on the back of the speaker to retune the speaker at any time.

The transmitter turns off automatically if there is no audio signal present for a prolonged period.

Interference in the form of static and/or distortion can sometimes be heard. If this occurs, 
confi rm the transmitter/speaker adjustments and indicators. If the problem persists, refer to the 
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

transmitting sound as it normally should.

•   Make sure the volume on your audio source is turned up.

•   Check that the speaker volume is turned up.

•   Move the 

Bluetooth

 device and the speaker closer together. The 

Bluetooth

 wireless 

technology generally can operate within a range of 35 feet. However results may 
vary based on other factors such as room layout, wall material, weather conditions, 
etc.

•   Make sure you have switched to the speaker’s 

Bluetooth

 connection when streaming 

audio with 

Bluetooth

.

•   Make sure you entered the correct passkey when pairing your device.

•   Make sure you have disconnected the 3.5 mm audio in cable from the AUDIO IN jack.

Sound is 
distorted or 
has static

•   When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace if 

necessary.

•   Check that the speaker’s indicator light is solid green (not blinking) when an audio 

source is connected to the transmitter

•   Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the operating 

frequency. Then press the AutoScan button on the speaker’s back panel to make the 
speaker retune.

•   Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high and away from obstructions 

as possible. Avoid placing the transmitter directly of or behind a TV.

•   Move the transmitter and speaker closer together. Sending the signal through 

certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal, can decrease the effective 
transmitting distance of the system.

Cannot pair 
the speaker 
with your 

Bluetooth 

device

•   Make sure the 

Bluetooth 

capability of your device is turned on and discoverable.

•   Move the 

Bluetooth

 device and the speaker closer together. The 

Bluetooth

 wireless 

technology generally can operate within a range of 35 feet. However results may 
vary based on other factors such as room layout, wall material, weather conditions, 
etc.

•   Make sure your device supports audio transfer.

•   Turn off all other nearby 

Bluetooth 

devices or disbale their 

Bluetooth 

functionality.
