Advanced Operation
Multi-Speaker Systems
With a single transmitter base, you can transmit audio
to as many as eight wireless speakers. Speakers can be
set to standard stereo mode or to serve as pairs of left
and right speakers. By adding speakers to your system,
you can create separate listening areas served by one or
more speakers.
When you power up a multi-speaker system, turn on
the speakers first and then turn on the power to the
transmitter base. This will allow synchronization between
the speakers and the base. If one or more speakers fail
to synchronize or synchronization is lost during operation,
you must re-synchronize the system.
To re-synchronize the transmitter base with the
speaker(s), press and hold the STANDBY key on the
transmitter base. After three seconds, the LED to the
left of the STANDBY key will begin to flash. Continue to
hold down the STANDBY key until the LED stops flashing
(about six seconds).
