If this occurs, please see the troubleshooting section of this manual. Speaker Side View Left/Mono/Right Slide Switch Speaker Side View Left/Mono/Right Slide Switch 2. Adjust the volume on the speaker as desired. 3. Set up the speaker for mono or stereo operation. a) Monaural operation: The monaural mode(MONO) is recommended when using a single AW822 by itself. For monaural operation, set the L/MONO/R switch to “MONO” on each speaker. b) Stereo operation: You need an additional AW822 speaker for the stereo option. Set the L/ MONO/R switch to “L” on the speaker located to the left from the listener, and set the other speaker to the “R” position. Notes: The speaker automatically retunes if it loses the transmitter’s signal. You can also press the ON/OFF/TUNING/VOL. button on the side of the speaker to retune the speaker at any time. The transmitter turns off automatically if there is no audio signal present for a prolonged period. Interference in the form of static and/or distortion can sometimes be heard. If this occurs, confirm the transmitter/speaker adjustments and indicators. If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual. Turning the Speaker Off 1. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TUNING/VOL. control to turn the speaker off. 2. Confirm that the speaker is off by verifying that the STDBY./TUNED indicator is no longer illuminated. The speaker will automatically charge rechargeable batteries (NiMH or NiCd only) when the batteries are installed and the speaker is plugged in with the AC power adapter. The CHARGE indicator on the front of the speaker will illuminate. Warning: DO NOT power the speaker with the AC power adapter if you installed alkaline or other non-rechargeable batteries – this could cause the batteries to leak, which would damage the speaker. More Helpful Information About Fixed-Level Audio Outputs A fixed-level, or line-level, audio output is considered ideal since it provides an audio signal unchanged by adjustments to the audio source volume control. Hint: Fixed-level audio outputs from stereo receivers/amps will typically be designated as Tape, Tape 1, and Tape 2 outputs, or VCR audio output connections These outputs are frequently marked on A/V equipment as ‘TAPE OUTPUT,’ ‘TAPE OUT,’ ‘TAPE REC, or ‘TAPE RECORD or REC OUT.’ Please note: Jacks labeled PHONO, CD, LD, DVD or tape or VCR playback (PB) are INPUTS and will not work with the transmitter. Fixed-level outputs from TVs are usually marked as ‘Constant,’ ‘Fixed,’ or ‘Select.’ If they are not marked as such, they are probably variable outputs (see “About Variable- Level Audio Outputs” on the next page). Outputs from VCRs are almost always fixed. Hint: When connecting to the audio outputs of a VCR, remember that the VCR must be playing a tape or showing a TV channel for sound to be produced. Hint: If your VCR (or other audio source with RCA jacks) only has a single audio output, you will need another RCA “Y” cable. It differs from the “Y” Cable Adapter included with this speaker. It will have a single male RCA plug and 2 female RCA jacks. Connect the dual RCA plugs from the included “Y” cable adapter to the 2 female RCA jacks on the second “Y” cable, and then connect the single male RCA plug of the second “Y” cable to the single audio output of the VCR. About Variable-Level Audio Outputs: A variable-level output, such as a headphone jack or certain RCA-type outputs, provides an audio signal that changes with the volume level set on the audio source. As the volume of the audio source is adjusted up and down, so is the audio signal strength sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality of sound generated by the speaker, and may require an adjustment of the volume level of the audio source to produce a signal strong enough for the transmitter. Hint: On most bookshelf-type or compact stereo systems, inserting a headphone plug into the headphone jack results in automatic cutoff of the regular, or hard-wired speakers. Hint: Most TVs, regardless of age or price, have variable outputs. If you are unsure which of your TV audio outputs is fixed, refer to the TV instruction manual. Some TVs have outputs that can switch between variable and fixed. When given a choice, fixed is always recommended. Troubleshooting The following troubleshooting guide takes you through some of the more common problems associated with the installation and/or operation of a wireless system. If the problem persists, please call toll-free at 1-800-732-6866 or visit Issue: No sound Issue: No sound/ distortion/ static Cause and solution: • Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted into the wall outlet and the power cord from the AC adapter is firmly connected to the transmitter power input jack. • Confirm that the speaker is turned on and tuned to the transmitter— the STDBY./TUNED indicator light on the front of the speaker should be illuminated blue. • If you’re using the power adapters, confirm that ...
