and the power cord from the AC adapter is rmly connected to the transmitter
power input jack.
• Conrm that the speaker is turned on and tuned to the transmitter—
the STDBY./TUNED indicator light on the front of the speaker should be
illuminated blue.

transmitter) are fully inserted into their wall outlets and the adapter power cords
are rmly connected to the power input jacks on the transmitter or speaker.

• If you’re using batteries, check that they are fresh and inserted with correct
polarity (+, –).
• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is turned on and
transmitting sound as it normally should.
• Check that the speaker volumes are turned up.
• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/amp as the audio
output, check that you have pressed the Tape Monitor/Tape 2 button on the

• When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace if
necessary.
• Check that the speaker STDBY./TUNED indicator is illuminated blue.
• Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the
operating frequency. The speaker will detect the loss of signal and retune
automatically. You can also press the ON/OFF/TUNING/VOL. control up once
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 on top 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.
