Setting Up Your Speaker
SYD is designed to perform optimally positioned at least 8” from the rear wall in an average
listening room. However, it may not be possible to install the speaker in this position and since
rooms vary in shape, size, and furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary to
determine the most suitable position.
Moving the speaker very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies but will tend to
reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speaker away from the rear wall will tend to have
the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speaker close to or in the corner of a room, as this
will excite undesirable room coupling in the low and middle frequencies. Room characteristics
and positioning have a profound effect on the performance of the speakers, so time and effort
devoted to achieving the optimum positions will be rewarded.
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position.
Follow the instructions on the ensuing pages to connect your audio sources to SYD.
Connect the power cord from SYD to the wall outlet.

ATTENTION
When connecting audio cables the ON/OFF Switch must be turned OFF. After connecting all cables, the unit can be
turned ON.
When the volume is high, this system can produce noise levels that could permanently damage your hearing.
SYD is a self-powered speaker system. Do not connect the speaker inputs to the outputs of a stereo amplifier.
Damage may occur. Use only the power cord provided with the speakers.
Supporting your digital lifestyle™
Connecting Audio Sources
SYD supports data streams up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution via Optical Toslink.
SYD supports Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology.
Use the appropriate audio cable to connect your audio source components to your
speakers.
•
3.5 mm stereo mini-jack AUX cable
•
Stereo RCA to 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack ‘Y’ cable
•
Optical Toslink cable
Connecting a Turntable
SYD features a built in Phono Pre-Amp that allows you to connect directly to a turntable.
•
connect your turntable to the RCA L/R inputs on the back of the SYD
•
connect your turntables grounding wire to the grounding post (not all turntables
feature a ground wire)
•
If your turntable does not have a built in Phono Pre-Amp, use the “Phono” setting
on the Phono switch.
•
If your turntable has a built in Phono Pre-Amp, use the “Line” setting on the Phono
switch.
ATTENTION
Some models of turntables include a built-in Phono Pre-Amp. If your turntable has a
built in Phono Pre-Amp, DO NOT use the Phono setting on the RCA switch. Doing so
will void your warranty and could cause severe damage to your speakers.
Connecting a Subwoofer
SYD is equipped with a RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply
connect a single RCA cable from the SUB OUT connection on the SYD to the AUDIO INPUT on your
subwoofer. If your subwoofer has a stereo L/R RCA input, either input will work.
We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume controls. Most
quality subwoofers offer these controls, which allow you to customize the amount of bass you will
experience.

Auto Power-up / Auto Power-down
The SYD is designed to save power when not in use. When no audio signal has been detected for 60
minutes, the SYD Amp will put itself into stand-by mode. If the audio signal returns via the same input
that the SYD was playing when it entered standby, the SYD will wake up and resume playing. It can also
be woken up manually by:
• Pressing the Standby Button on the Remote
• Pressing the Control knob
If you do not find the Auto Power-up (APU) feature useful, you can disable it by pressing the Balance
Reset button on the remote and holding it for 5 seconds. The Status LED will blink once to indicate that
you have disabled the APU feature. To enable the APU if you have disabled it, simply press and hold
the Balance Reset button again for 5 seconds. The Status LED will blink twice to indicate that you have
enabled the APU.
Note that APU is always turned on when power is applied, but will only work after automatic power
down. APU will not work if unit is manually switched to standby using the remote or control knob.
Note that APU function will not work when using the Bluetooth input.

Bluetooth® Pairing
SYD features Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology and can be paired with many devices
for wireless audio playback from your phone, MP3 player or tablet. Pairing is easy.
1.
Press the Bluetooth button ( ) on SYD’s remote to select it as the input source. The Bluetooth LED
(blue) will flash to indicate that SYD is in pairing mode.
2.
Enable your Bluetooth device to search for a new device to pair with. Select ‘SYD by Kanto’ from the
list of Bluetooth devices available for pairing.
3.
If pairing is successful, the Bluetooth LED (blue) will remain solid. You will not need to pair the same
Bluetooth device again - ‘SYD by Kanto’ will remain on your device list until you remove it from the
list.
4.
If the device does not pair with SYD, turn the speaker’s ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position, then
repeat Steps 1 to 3. Alternatively, you can press the Bluetooth reset button ( ) on the remote or
turn off Bluetooth on your device and turn it back on again.
Bluetooth® Operation
1.
We recommend keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters between the speaker and your device.
The best signal fidelity is within this range.
2.
You can stream audio from your device to the speaker using either the player control buttons of
your device or the control buttons of the remote control (see diagram of Remote Control on page 5
of this manual – buttons #19, #20, and #21).
3.
Take note of the following behavior and functionality during Bluetooth operation. When you are
successfully connected, the Blue LED will be lit solid, and your device will show as connected to ‘SYD
by Kanto’.
4.
•
The connection between speaker and device remains active even if input source has changed.
For instance, you can switch to another input source (e.g. RCA) and return to Bluetooth
operation without losing signal connection and, therefore, do not need to pair with the device
again.
•
When the speaker is put in Standby mode or powered OFF, Bluetooth connection with the
device is lost. When the speaker returns to Playback mode, the Bluetooth connection between
the speaker and device is re-established. However, you may notice a choppy playback signal for
approximately 30 seconds after reconnection. It will normalize.
•
While the speaker can be paired with more than one device, only one device can play and
transmit audio signal at a time.
The SYD remote control features a Bluetooth Reset button to quickly disconnect a paired device and
allow a second device to pair with the speaker (button #6 on the Remote Control diagram on page
5).
•
Press Bluetooth Reset button to disconnect a paired device.
•
Follow the pairing instructions to pair another device.
•
The same behavior and functionality apply to the second device.
USB Charging Operation
SYD features one 5V 1.0 A USB charging port on the back panel. This is a convenient power source to
charge your devices.
When SYD is in Playback Mode (LED White) and Standby Mode (LED yellow), the port is active, and
whatever device is connected is able to draw up to 1.0 A of power.
Audio Troubleshooting Guide
