1. Power Switch - Press to turn

the receiver on or o.

2. Power Indicator - Lights red

when the receiver is powered on.

3. Volume Control (Channel 1) - Rotate to adjust the level of the audio signal output from the

4. Channel 1 RF Indicator - Lights green when the corresponding Channel 1 HT6 transmitter is

powered on, and there is an RF signal present and detected by the receiver.

5. Volume Control (Channel 2) - Rotate to adjust the level of the audio signal output from the

6. Channel 2 RF Indicator - Lights green when the corresponding Channel 2 HT6 transmitter is

powered on, and there is an RF signal present and detected by the receiver.

7. DC Input - Connect the sup-

plied 12-volt, 200 mA power adapter here.

WARNING: The substitution

of any other kind of power adapter can cause severe dam- age to the SR266 and will void your warranty.

8. Channel 1 Output - Use this

unbalanced, ¼” jack to connect the SR266 Channel 1 receiver to the line level input of a mixer, amplifier, or other audio equipment. For a mixed signal of both receivers, only plug into one output on the SR266. Otherwise, Channel 1 and Channel 2 will output separate signals.

9. Channel 2 Output - Use this unbalanced, ¼” jack to connect the SR266 Channel 2 receiver to

the line level input of a mixer, amplifier, or other audio equipment. For a mixed signal of both receivers, only plug into one output on the SR266. Otherwise, Channel 1 and Channel 2 will output separate signals.

10. Adaptor Strain Relief - Loop the included adaptor’s cord through the

strain relief to prevent the plug from accidentally detaching from the receiver.

11. Antenna - The antenna mountings allow full rotation for optimum

placement. In normal operation, both antennas should be placed in a vertical position. The antennas can be folded inward for convenience when transporting the SR266.

SR266 Receiver Controls and Features

1. Audio ON/OFF Switch - When set to the ON position, audio signal

is transmitted. When set to the OFF position, the audio signal is muted. Note that moving this switch to the OFF position does not turn o the transmitter power—it is simply a way to temporarily mute the transmission of audio signal. When not in use for extended periods, the transmitter power should be turned o by using the power ON/OFF switch.

2. Power ON/OFF Switch - Use this switch to turn the HT6 on or o (to

conserve battery power, be sure to leave it o when not in use). Be sure to mute the audio signal at your external mixer or amplifier before turning transmitter power on or off, or an audible pop may result.

3. Power Indicator - LED lights green when the transmitter is powered

4. Battery Compartment - Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery

here. Be sure to observe the plus and minus polarity markings when installing the battery. We recommend the Duracell MN 1604 type battery for use with this device. Although rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries can be used, they do not supply adequate current for more than four hours.

WARNING: Do not insert the battery backwards; doing so can cause

severe damage to the HT6 and will void your warranty.

5. Channel Marking - Printed number corresponding to the appro-

priate channel on the SR266 receiver. HT6 Transmitter Controls and Features

Stage v266: Dual Handheld Wireless Follow these basic procedures for setting up and using your Stage v266 Series Wireless System.

1. Connect the SR266 receiver power adaptor to the rear panel DC input, and then to an electrical outlet.

2. Connect the receiver’s appropriate ¼” output to the input of a mixer, stereo, karaoke machine, or any other line level input (see below).

Use the included ¼” to ¼” cable to connect the SR266 receiver to a mixer.

Use the included ¼” to dual RCA cable to connect the SR266 recevier to a stereo or other HI-FI device.

5. Installing a 9-volt battery into the receiver.

3. Plugging the receiver into a stereo using the 1/4" - RCA cable.

4. Plugging the receiver into a Karaoke machine using 1/4" - 1/4" cable.

5. Installing a 9-volt battery into the receiver.

3. Plugging the receiver into a stereo using the 1/4" - RCA cable.

4. Plugging the receiver into a Karaoke machine using 1/4" - 1/4" cable.10

Use the included ¼” to ¼” cable to connect the SR266 receiver to a karaoke machine.

of the HT6 transmitter, rotate the bottom section and slide down to expose the battery compartment. Insert a standard 9-volt alkaline battery, being sure to follow the plus and minus polarity markings.

4. Turn on the HT6 transmitter by sliding the POWER

switch to the right, and replace the bottom section.

5. Installing a 9-volt battery into the receiver.

3. Plugging the receiver into a stereo using the 1/4" - RCA cable.

4. Plugging the receiver into a Karaoke machine using 1/4" - 1/4" cable.

1. Plugging the receiver into the wall.

2. Plugging the receiver into a mixer using 1/4" - 1/4" cable.

4. Plugging the receiver into a Karaoke machine using 1/4" - 1/4" cable.ENGLISH

5. Place the SR266 receiver where it will

be used (the general rule of thumb is to maintain “line of sight” between the receiver and transmitters so that the person(s) using the transmitter can see the receiver). Turn on the power of the SR266 receiver.

6. Turn on the connected amplifier and/

or mixer, but keep its volume all the way down. Next, make sure that your transmitter is un-muted by setting its Audio switch to ON. Then, set the Volume Control knob on the SR266 fully clockwise; this is unity gain. Speak or sing into the mic at a normal performance level while slowly raising the volume of your amplifier/mixer until the desired level is reached. Quick Start Guide12
