Left / Right Channel and Mono Selection The SPK-24GX-DUO Wireless Speaker System comes with two speakers and is designed for either Mono or Stereo playback. Mono playback is suggested when each speaker is used in a separate area or room. The transmitter supports up to a total of 6 speakers in stereo or mono modes. Mono Playback To enable Mono playback, ensure that the switch located on the back panel of the speaker is in the MONO position. Stereo Playback To enable Stereo playback, set the switch on one of the two speakers' back panel to LEFT. Set the switch on the other speaker to RIGHT. Note 1: It is also possible to listen to only the Left or Right audio channel using only the speaker set. To do so, simply set the switch on the speaker's back panel to LEFT or RIGHT. Only the channel selected will be audible. Note 2: If two speakers are connected to the system, ensure both speakers are placed within the
effective operational range. If either speaker is out of range it will cause distortion to both speakers. AUX In To connect an audio device directly to the speaker insert a 3.5mm audio cable (not included) from the source device into the ‘AUX In’ jack located on the back panel of each speaker. This feature sends audio directly to the connected speaker. It does not send an audio signal to the second speaker. Set the volume on the audio source device 75% of maximum. Note: − If the source signal is too weak for reception, the speaker automatically switches off after approximately 4 minutes to protect the unit and save power. If the source signal returns to an adequate level, the speaker automatically switches back on. − When the speaker is in Standby mode, the speaker automatically switches off after approximately 15 minutes to protect the unit and save power. − To switch speaker power back on during Standby mode, press the POWER button on the remote control. The signal link between the transmitter and speaker reconnects automatically.
Troubleshooting No sound − Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the transmitter DC IN jack. − If using batteries to power the transmitter a blinking BLUE light on transmitter indicates drained batteries. Replace with 4 fresh AA batteries − Press the “PAIR” button on the transmitter and the ‘Light/Pair’ button on one of the speakers for 5 seconds. There will be an audio test tone when the pairing process is finished. Repeat the procedure on each additional speaker. − Ensure the speaker POWER button is in the ON position. − Speaker batteries may be too weak. Replace with new batteries or connect with the included AC adapter. − Ensure the connected audio device is switched on and is producing a signal. − Ensure that the audio device volume level is set 75% of maximum. − Redo the pairing process by pressing the “Pair” button on the speakers and transmitter simultaneously. Distortion − Speaker batteries may be too weak. Replace with new batteries or connect with the included AC adapter. Blinking BLUE light on transmitter indicates drained batteries. − Ensure that the audio device volume level is set 75% of maximum. − The speakers are too far from the transmitter. Move closer to the transmitter base. − The audio input signal may be too low or too high. Set the audio source to 75% of maximum. − Ensure both speakers are placed within the effective operational range. If either speaker is out of range it will cause distortion to both speakers.
