Pairing the Wireless Rear Speakers
The wireless rear speakers are automatically paired with the system at the factory. When you fi rst setup the
system, the system will automatically locate the rear speakers. A successful connection is indicated by solid
LEDs on both the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center and the wireless rear speakers.
Troubleshooting the Wireless Rear Speakers
If the wireless rear speakers lose their connection to the system, fi rst use the Wireless LEDs to diagnose the
problem (see below). To re-establish a link, fi rst locate the pinhole for the connect button on the bottom of
the Control Center. Using a paperclip, push the connect button through the pinhole. The system will start
looking for the wireless rear speakers, as indicated by the fl ashing Link LEDs on the back of the Control Center.
The system will continue looking for the rear speakers for 2 minutes.
During the 2 minutes that the system is searching for the rear speakers, open the sealing plug on the back of
each rear satellite. Using a paperclip, push the connect button through the pinhole on the back of the rear
speakers. The speakers will start searching for the system, as indicated by the fl ashing blue LEDs on the front
of the speakers. Once the speakers link up with the system, all LEDs will change to a solid color.

Digital Connection
If your sound card has a digital output jack, you can use it to connect to the Digital SoundTouch™
Control Center. The control center supports either an optical or a coaxial connection. Check your sound
card documentation for instructions on how to enable the sound card’s digital output.
Analog Connection
Use the 6-channel direct input cables to connect the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center to the
analog jacks on your sound card. For optimal sound, connect only those cables necessary for your
sound card and leave the other cables unattached at both ends:
• 6-channel sound card: Connect the orange, black, and green plugs to the Digital SoundTouch™
Control Center and to the color-coded jacks on the sound card.
• 4-channel sound card: Connect the green and black plugs to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control
Center. Connect the green plug to the sound card’s front jack and the black plug to the sound
card’s rear jack. Leave the orange plug unattached at both ends.
• 2-channel sound card: Connect the green plug to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center and to
the “line out” jack on your sound card. Leave the orange and black plugs unattached at both ends.
System States
Your Z-5450 Digital speakers have two basic states: Standby (off), and Ready. There is also a main on/
off switch on the rear of the subwoofer (see the quick start guide).
• Standby (Off): The power to the front/center speakers is off, the rear wireless speakers are in
standby mode, the LCD is blank, and the power LED is red. Use the standby button to turn the
system on.
• Ready (On): The speakers are on and the power LED is blue. Pressing the standby button will put
the system into standby (off) mode.
