speakers of this system. Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making any
connections. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the component to be connected.
Connect an external device to the AUX IN jack on the back panel of the system using a stereo
audio cable (supplied).
Note:
y When the stereo audio cable is connected to the AUX IN jack, the system will switch to the
AUX IN mode automatically.
1. Turn the system power on.
2. Set the volume to the minimum position.
3. Start playback on the external device.

Outputting to other Audio System
This system has AUX OUT jack allowing you to connect to auxiliary audio systems such as
speaker, audio amplifier and perhaps wireless audio transmitter.
Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making any connections. For details,
refer to the instruction manual of the component to be connected.

Dual System Playback
Two Sound Spot systems can be connected together via the supplied AUX cable, and they will
play as one speaker system with left and right audio split between each for true stereo
separation. For obtaining the stereo sound effect, you should purchase another Sound Spot
system separately.
Before establishing the dual system playback, be sure to turn off the power of each system.
Connect the AUX OUT jack of one system to AUX IN jack of another system using the supplied
AUX cable.
The Sound Spot that you connect AUX OUT jack will be designated as the master system; and
at the same time, another Sound Spot that you connect AUX IN jack will be designated as the
slave system.
y When the master system is in Bluetooth mode, the left channel and right channel are mixed,
so the slave system will play only in a mono channel.
y When the master system is in AUX IN mode with AUX IN jack inserted with external source,
after connecting to the slave system, the master system will be designated as L channel and
the slave system will be designated as R channel. Now you can enjoy stereo sound effect
using these two systems.
Note:
y During dual system playback operations, you need to adjust the Volume level by tapping
VOL +/ VOL – buttons on each system separately.
