Optional WT 50 Wireless Transmitter
Transmitter Power
Plug the transmitter power supply into a power outlet. The transmitter power supply requires very little power so you can
plug it into an auxiliary power outlet on the receiver. Plug the connector on the power supply cable into the transmitter
power input labeled 18V DC.
Wireless ID Switches
Both the CPS Wi Subwoofer and optional WT 50 Wireless
Transmitter have Wireless ID switches (located on the rear
of the subwoofer and transmitter). The various switch
settings change the digital identification code of the
wireless signal the WT 50 sends to the subwoofer. The two
switches must be set to the same position. Typically you’ll
never need to adjust these switches. They are included in
case you have more than one CPS Wi subwoofer in your
house. Use different Wireless ID switch settings so the
subwoofers won’t interfere with each other.
Note: Do not connect the same audio source to the subwoofer and WT 50 wireless transmitter at
the same time.
Operation
Audio On/Auto/Mute
Plug the subwoofer’s AC cord into a wall outlet. Do not use the outlets on the back of the receiver. Set the audio switch
to the desired setting.
AUDIO ON – The subwoofer audio is always on.
AUTO – The subwoofer audio will turn on whenever a signal is detected. If no signal is detected after several minutes, it will
automatically enter the Mute mode.
MUTE – The subwoofer is muted and will not produce any sound. You may want to unplug your subwoofer if you will not be
using it for some time or wish to conserve electricity. (On 230v models only, you may turn off the main power switch, located
next to the power cord)
An LED indicator next to the Polarity switch indicates what mode the subwoofer is in:
OFF – The subwoofer is unplugged (or the main power switch is off on 230v models)
RED – Mute (No signal detected, Amp Off)
GREEN – Audio On (Signal detected, Amp On)
The subwoofer will automatically enter the Mute mode after several minutes when no signal is detected from your system.
The subwoofer audio will then turn ON instantly when a signal is detected.
Polarity Control
(0° or 180°): Selects regular (0°) or inverted (180°) phase for the subwoofer. Set this switch to provide the fullest, most
dynamic bass. The effect of phase will be most audible on low-frequency percussion instruments or music with a continuously
repeating bass line.
Crossover Control
Adjusts the frequency of the low pass filter for the subwoofer. Note: This control is not active when using the LFE input jack.
Volume Control
Turn the subwoofer Volume control to the 11 o’clock position. If no sound emanates from the subwoofer, check the AC-line
cord, Audio On switch, Power switch (on 230v models), and input cables.
Adjust the subwoofer Volume control until you hear a match between the main speaker and subwoofer. Bass response should
not overpower the room but rather be adjusted so there is a natural blend across the entire musical range.
