4032009REV14II. Connecting the Speaker System:I. Powering the TransmitterConnect the small, round plug from the transmitter AC power adapter (M) to the transmitter power input jack(I) and plug the other end of the transmitter AC power adapter (M) into any standard 120V AC wall outlet.Note: Be sure to use the AC power adapter rated 12V DC 100 mA.Note: There is no transmitter ON/OFF switch. The transmitter is designed to be left plugged in and poweredat all times.If you do not intend to use the AW880 for an extended period of time, you may wish to unplug the transmitterAC power adapter.II. Connecting to an Audio Source:i. Connecting with I-pod, Mp3….etc.Connect the 3.5mm audio IN cord (I) into the music source out directly.ii. Connecting to an A/V Receiver:1. If necessary, connect the “Y” adapter cable (Not included) to the 3.5mm mini plug cable coming out ofthe transmitter.2. Connect the RCA-type left (white) and right (red) audio plugs on the “Y” adapter cable to thecorresponding left and right audio outputs of your A/V receiver, amp or other audio source.iii. Connecting to a Stereo or a Computer:1. Plug the cable coming out of the transmitter into the headphone output of your stereo or the audio outputjack on your computer. Or use the included 1/4” headphone adapter (Not included) to convert the 3.5mmplug to a 1/4” plug as needed.Warning: This product is designed to work with line level outputs or headphone outputs only. DO NOTconnect it directly to speaker outputs, as it will permanently damage the transmitter.III. Powering the SpeakersThere are two options to power your wireless speakers:i. AC Power Adapter:1. Turn the speaker volume down by rotating the volume (D) on the rear of the speaker all the way to theleft.2. Insert the small, round plug from one speaker AC power adapter (N) into the speaker power input jack(E).3. Plug the other end of the speaker AC power adapter into any standard 120V AC wall outlet.Note: Be sure to use the speaker AC power adapters rated 18V DC 500 mA.
4032009REV15III. Adjusting the Transmitter1. Turn ON your audio source (i.e., A/V receiver, TV, stereo, etc.) and play music at a normal listeningvolume.2. Set the channel select switch (J) on the back of the transmitter to 1, 2 or 3. The transmitter provides threedifferent broadcasting frequencies. In the event that you experience poor reception or interference, trychoosing a different frequency by moving the channel select switch to another position.3. If the transmitter gets the signal from the audio source and ready, the “On” (H) on the front of thetransmitter will turn blue.Note: If the light does not on, please check the following:-Confirm the transmitter AC power adapter (M) is securely connected.-Confirm the cable from the transmitter is securely connected to the audio source output (TV, A/V receiver,etc.).IV. Tuning the Speakers1. Push the power (B) to turn each speaker ON. The standby/tuned indicator light (A) will illuminate redwhile the speakers are tuning to the transmitter. The standby/tuned indicator light (A) will illuminate blue,indicating that the speakers are tuned to the transmitter, and you should hear sound coming form thespeakers.Note: Once the speakers have tuned to the transmitter, the standby/tuned indicator light (A) will change from“Red” to “Blue”.2. Adjust volume on each speaker as desired.3. For stereo operation, set the left/mono/right switch (F) to “left” on the speaker located to the left of thelistener, and set the other speaker to “right” position. Set each speaker to “mono” for the best audio quality,if you plan on using one speaker in a different room from the other.4. The speaker will automatically retune if it loses the signal from the transmitter. However, you can alsopush the power/volume/scan control to retune the speaker at any time. While the speaker is tuning, thestandby/tuned indicator light (A) will turn red. After locking onto the transmitter signal, the bluestandby/tuned indicator light (A) will come back on.5. The transmitter has auto-cut-off function. When there is no audio signal for a prolonged period, the powerof the transmitter will be automatically cut off.Note: Interference in the form of static and/or distortion can sometimes be heard. If this occurs, confirm thetransmitter/speaker adjustments and indicators. If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section ofthis manual.
4032009REV16V. Turning the Speakers OffPush the power (B) to turn each speaker OFF.VI. TroubleshootingThe following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more common problems associated withthe installation and/or operation of a wireless system.Issue: Cause and solution:No Sound Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted into the wall outlet and the power cord fromthe AC adapter is firmly connected to the transmitter power input jack. Confirm that the speakers are turned ON and tuned to the transmitter – standby/tuned light (A) on thefront of the speakers should illuminate blue. Confirm that the speaker AC power adapters are fully inserted into the wall outlet and the power cordfrom each AC power adapter is firmly connected to the speaker power input jack.or Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is turned on and transmitting sound as itnormally should. Check that the speaker volume is turned up.Issue: Cause and solution:Nosound/distortion/static Check that the speaker standby/tuned indicator light (A) is illuminated blue.or Change the position of the channel select switch (1, 2 or 3) to change the operating frequency. Thespeaker will detect the loss of signal and retune automatically. However, you can also press the scancontrol (C) once to make the speaker retune. Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high and away from obstructions as possible. Avoidplacing the transmitter directly on top of or behind a TV. Move the transmitter and speakers closer together. Sending the signal through certain materials, such asglass, tile, and metal, can decrease the effective transmitting distance of the system.V III.
