- Two short speaker cables
- This userguide

1. Surround Anywhere 220

Congratulations with the purchase of the Marmitek Surround Anywhere 220!

With this you can easily connect your rear surround speakers wirelessly to your Home Cinema set. Because of the built-in amplifier in the receiver you can use your present (passive) surround speakers.

The uncompressed digital transfer ensures a sound which goes beyond CD-quality, without interference or delay. Because the sound is controlled through your Home Cinema set and the automatic on/off function of the transmitter and the receiver, it needs no looking after.

Marmitek-products are manufactured with utmost precision and are of high quality.

Please read this operating instructions and follow the directions so you can enjoy the possibilities of this product optimally.

2. Connecting the transmitter

The transmitter connects to an amplified speaker output via the supplied short speaker cables. Alternatively it can be connected to a standard line-out audio interface.

If the transmitter is connected via speaker cables, observe the polarity of the cable connection to ensure that the transmitter will be fed with a correct polarity signal. If one of the cables is switched (reversed), one speaker will receive an opposite polarity signal which will degrade sound performance.

Connect the supplied small power adapter plug into the DC 9V jack, and then plug the power adapter into a standard AC outlet. We recommend the use of a surge protector to protect the transmitter from power surges.

ATTENTION!

Do not use both the speaker cables and RCA cable. Do not connect speakers to the transmitter. Do not connect the large AC adapter to the transmitter.

3. Connecting the receiver

Connect the DC power input of the receiver with the supplied large AC adapter. The use of a surge protector is recommended to protect the receiver from power surges which may damage the receiver and connected speakers or may cause audio dropouts.

The receiver connects to regular passive loudspeakers via regular speaker cables (not included). Observe the correct polarity when connecting the speakers.

It is also possible to connect both speakers to separate receivers by using an additional receiver. In this case connect one speaker to the left audio output of the first receiver and the second speaker to the right audio output of the second receiver. One audio output of each receiver will not be used in this case.

ATTENTION!

Never short circuit any receiver audio output since this may damage the receiver. A clicking noise may be generated during receiver power up. Therefore, it is recommended to connect power to the receiver prior to connecting the speakers.

4. Placing the transmitter and receiver

For optimum reception, the receiver should be placed within the line of sight from the transmitter. If possible, the receiver should be placed right side up with its front toward the transmitter.

The transmitter should be placed at an elevation such that there are no obstacles between the transmitter and receiver (line of sight) in an area where there will be the least amount of traffic. We suggest that you place the transmitter on top of your audio source. Example 1 shows the optimum placement of the transmitter and receiver.

The receiver can also be placed as shown in example 2. In this case, no line of sight exists and the operating range is reduced.

You can mount the receiver vertically by using the 2 screw openings at the bottom of the receiver. If the receiver is mounted vertically, the operating range is reduced compared to mounting the receiver right side up.

The receiver incorporates a directional antenna which prefers signals transmitted toward the front of the receiver. Therefore, the front of the receiver should always be facing toward the direction of the strongest transmitter signal. By properly orienting the receiver, interference from other signal sources can be minimized.

We suggest that you experiment with placement in order to find the best location for the transmitter and receivers.

Note: This product will not work properly from within an enclosed metal cabinet.

5. Operating the transmitter

After powering up the transmitter, the transmit light will go on for approximately five seconds while the transmitter initializes.

After initialization, the transmit light will go out.

Initially, set the transmitter volume control to a middle setting.

Once audio is detected at the audio input, the transmit light will go on and the transmitter will transmit the audio signal.

When audio is no longer detected, the transmitter will go into standby mode after approximately 30 minutes. The Signal indication LED will go out. During standby mode, no signal is transmitted.

6. Operating the receiver

As soon as a valid transmitter signal is received by the receiver, the receiver will output the amplified audio signal to the speaker outputs. You can change the audio level by adjusting the receiver volume control.

In order to achieve maximum transmission quality, the transmitter volume control should be set to match the audio level of your audio source as follows:

1) Set the receiver volume control to a low level to prevent clipping inside the receiver.
2) Set your Home Cinema Set to output the maximum audio level that you will encounter during normal operation.
3) Turn the transmitter level control knob to the position that yields maximum audio loudness to the speakers without any clipping (distortion). If the transmitter level is set too low, the dynamics of the transmission are not fully used. If the level is set too high, audio clipping (distortion) will occur inside the transmitter.
4) Turn the receiver volume control to a setting that yields the desired volume from the speakers.

If no audio signal is received for more than 30 minutes, the receiver will go into standby mode (power-down mode).

7. Frequently asked questions

The transmit light does not go on after DC power is applied to the transmitter

Check the power outlet and the AC adapter; if possible, check for correct voltage of the AC adapter.

The transmit light goes out after a few seconds and does not light again

• Check the audio connection to the transmitter and ensure that there is audio present.
• Disconnect and then reconnect DC power.

No audio at receiver

• Check the power outlet and the AC adapter; if possible, check for correct voltage of the AC adapter.
• Adjust the transmitter volume control.
• Adjust the receiver volume control.
• In some cases, there may be strong interference preventing proper reception of the audio signal which can be caused by 5.8 GHz cordless telephones or 5.8 GHz wireless networks. Either eliminate the interference, locate the base unit of the cordless phone in another room, set the wireless network to use the 5.1 GHz frequency band rather than 5.8 GHz, relocate the transmitter, relocate or reorient the receiver.

Audio is distorted

• Adjust the transmitter volume control until clipping stops.
• Adjust the receiver volume control until clipping stops.
  • See part four of the question No audio at the receiver

Speaker audio level is too low

• Adjust the transmitter volume control to achieve the desired audio level.
• Adjust the receiver volume control to achieve the desired audio level.
• Increase the output level of the audio source (connect transmitter to an adjustable output by using an adapter if necessary).

Audio is noisy

• See part four of the question No audio at the receiver
