The TXD200 transmitter has a combined analog/optical sound input on its end. You can connect any device with sound output, optical or analog, to the transmitter. Computer, mp3-player, iPod/iphone/iPad dock, cellphone, stereo/receiver, cd-player, radio, etc. TXD200 contains an advanced Burr-Brown A/D converter for best sound reproduction. The transmitter TXD200 must be powered by Audio Pro USB power adaptor if connected by cable (sold separately).

Connect any device with sound output, optical or analog.

LEFT, MONO AND RIGHT

On the rear of LV33 is a switch for left, mono and right. Normally two LV33 speakers are used in one room for stereo sound. Set one speaker to RIGHT, the other to LEFT. NOTE: Only speaker set to RIGHT can receive commands from remote.

MONO is used if you have only one LV33 in one room, and the other in another room. Or very large room, or reception hall where all speakers play in mono. Note that the speakers will reproduce sound in mono, not stereo.

MONOMASTER

If you have your LV33 speakers set to MONO, you will need to make one of them MONO MASTER to be able receive commands from the remote.

Setting one speaker as MONO MASTER:

1. Aim remote at desired speakers, push Zone INFO button for 5 seconds.
2. Display will show "111". Now the speaker is mono master speaker.

To change back to slave mode mono speaker, push Zone info button on remote again for 5 seconds, display shows "000".

MORE OR LESS BASS (ROOM ADAPTATION)

When placing LV33 in your home, you may experience too much or too little bass, depending on where you place the speakers. To solve this, LV33 has built in room adaptation [+10 / - 10 dB bass equalizer]. By adjusting bass levels, you can find a good bass balance that suits your room.

Generally, placing LV33 in a corner will reproduce more bass, placing LV33 in the middle of your room less bass. With room adaptation you can place LV33 anywhere you like, and then adjust bass levels to your liking.

ADJUST BASS EQ:

1. Use buttons on speaker (not remote)

2. Press button "House Code" and hold it pressed

3. While holding "House Code" button pressed, adjust bass EQ with

VOL + and -. Press + to increase bass, - to decrease bass

Display will show your settings: -10, -9, -8 ... 0 ... 8, 9, 10

RESET SPEAKER

Returning to factory settings (volume 17, bass EQ 0):

Turn off speakers with remote. Turn on again and press MUTE on remote while LED flashes. Push Mute once more. Now speaker pair (or all speakers in same Zone) are in default setting.

OPERATIONS WITH LV-HUB

With the Living LV-HUB (sold separately) you get convenient features such as listening to different sources in different rooms. You can also change sources connected to LV-HUB on the speakers with the remote.

1. Set all speakers and LV-HUB to same House Code.
2. Set speakers in each room to Zone A, B or C.
3. Pair LV-HUB with all speakers (See Pairing in specific speaker manual.)
4. Connect up to 4 sources to LV-HUB.

Now you can play from any source connected to LV-HUB to any speakers in different zones. Changing source: use remote aimed to speaker to change source. You can change source in each room on the speakers with the remote, and listen to different sources at the same time in different room. Example:

• Watch movie with wireless sound in Room 1.
• Listen to music on computer in Room 2.
• Listen to music via AirPlay® (via Apple TV®) in Room 3.

Speaker display will show this for sources: USB-LI-OP1-OP2

Note:

1. When in paired mode, the LV-HUB can be hidden away. No commands from remote works on the LV-HUB. All commands are done on the speakers.
2. Choosing source will follow the ZONE, all speakers set to some Zone will play some source.
3. If you add a TXD200 transmitter, and this is paired, you can also change House Code on speakers to choose different transmitter (Example: HC1 on LVHUB and HC2 on TXD200.)

USE MULTIPLE TRANSMITTERS AND SPEAKERS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE HOUSE CODE 1, 2 OR 3

By using the House Codes (channels) you can share the wireless network for up to two separate networks. Then you can simultaneously play music from various audio sources (from two different transmitters) to different pairs of LIVING speakers.

ADJUST VOLUME SEPARATELY IN THREE DIFFERENT ZONES

In order to be able to have the same music at different volumes in different rooms/areas, you can divide each House Code into 3 different volume zones. Each zone can have a different volume. This is very handy if, for example, you want to have one volume level in the living room and a lower volume in the kitchen. You can have as many LIVING speakers in each zone as you want, or just one pair. The zone volume is easily controlled with the remote unit.

Note:

1. All LV33 speakers are default Zone A, and volume level 17.
2. Each House Code (1, 2 and 3) can be split into up to 3 zones (A, B and C).
3. You can have as many speakers you like on each House Code, and as many as you want in each zone.

A zone does not have to be one room, can be whole floor in house.

TROUBLESHOOTING

THE SPEAKERS PLAY AT DIFFERENT VOLUMES

Use the zone-volume buttons for the zone that is set on the speakers, adjust the volume up or down with the remote, and all speakers will be synchronised to the same volume level in the entire zone.

ONE SPEAKER IS ON, THE OTHER OFF

If one of the speakers is disconnected from the power supply whereas others are connected to the power supply, the On/Off function may get out of sync. Proceed as follows in such cases: switch off the main power switch on the left speaker. Depending on the status, switch on or off the right speaker (main speaker with receiver for remote control). Then switch on the power switch on the left speaker again and start up the system with the remote control on the right speaker (while doing this, you should play music so that the speakers are receiving an audio signal).

NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING

Is the LED light on the transmitter blue?

If the light is red, try moving the transmitter and receiver closer together. Does this turn the LED blue?

Are you using more than one TX100/TXD200 transmitter?

Make sure that the TX100/TXD200's aren't running on the same House Code. If more than one TX100/TXD200 uses the same House Code, interference may occur. Disconnect one transmitter, or change the House Code

Are you using the same House Code on transmitter and receiver?

Make sure the same House Code is set on both the transmitter and the receiver.

How far apart are the transmitter and receiver?

If distance between the transmitter and receiver is too far, the connection might be lost.

Try placing the transmitter and receiver in closer proximity, does this help?

Are there walls between the transmitter and receiver?

If your home has thick concrete walls, or walls of plaster with wire lath, the wireless range will

decrease. Try placing transmitter and receiver in the same room, does this help?

Are there more wireless networks in the area?

If there are many wifi networks running in the area, wireless range can decrease. There are useful apps for iP hone/iPad/iPod touch and Android to detect local wifi networks, and see which channel might be crowded. You can also try to change the channel on your wireless router to improve Audio Pro network range and your own home network wi performance. [Audio Pro network transmits on channel 1, 6 or 11.]

Is your computer connected to the internet via cable or wifi?

The Audio Pro network can weaken a local wifi network (but not weaken itself). If possible, you should change channel on your wireless router, the Audio Pro network transmits on channel 1, 6, or 11. Choose a new channel on your router, for example 3, 8 or 13. (In total there are 13 channels on the 2.4 GHz band.) There are useful apps for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and Android to detect local wifi networks, and see which channel might be crowded. If you cannot change the channel on your wireless router, try connecting computer via Ethernet cable instead. Does this help?

AvthetheBluetooth units active in the area?

Shut down all active Bluetooth devices. Does this help?

Windows 7 and Mac OS, sound output

When connecting the TX100 transmitter to a computer using Windows 7 or Mac OS, you need to select the sound output. Go to: system settings, find sound settings, and select USB HEADSET as your sound output. (In older Windows OS there is no need for this, TX100 will take over automatically as the sound output device.)
