Description

The Remote Sound System™ includes an
amplifier, subwoofer, (2) satellite speakers,
(2) 50-foot lengths of speaker wire, and an
RCA stereo cable. The cabinet housing the
amplifier and subwoofer measures 26 1/2”
H X 23” W X 23” D and is equipped with a
door allowing access to the components
inside (see Figure 1).

Site Preparation

In determining the location for your Remote
Sound System™, keep in mind that it must
be connected to a suitable, grounded elec-
trical outlet. As a basic guideline, never con-
nect the sound system to a circuit that also
supplies power to freezers, coolers or other
high power-consuming and electrical noise-
generating equipment. Familiarity with stan-
dard wiring practices, as recognized by a
government agency in your area, is neces-
sary.

Make sure the unit is not exposed to any
moisture or excessive heat and that there is
enough space to ensure proper ventilation.
The unit should also be located on a sturdy,
level surface.

Sound Zones

A sound zone is considered to be any set of
speakers that are controlled as a single unit.
A single set of speakers with the same vol-
ume control would be configured as ZONE
1, with an additional speaker set configured
as ZONE 2.

Planning the Installation

Consider the following as you decide on
speaker placement:

•

volume required in the area

•

the stereo image. The sound stage of
sound zones can vary depending on
speaker placement.

NOTE: Sometimes the physical layout
of a location makes it almost impos-
sible to create a good stereo image. For
example, if a location has many small
interconnected rooms or if a location
is very long and narrow. Under these
circumstances, it may be more advan-
tageous to operate all speakers in
mono. This would enable you to cover
small rooms with one speaker instead
of two and make placement much easier
to determine.

See Figures 2-5 for help with laying out the
sound system. Keep in mind that you will
need to supply any additional cabling nec-
essary for the desired speaker layout.

Installing Speakers

Follow the instructions below to install the
(2) supplied speakers once you’ve decided
on an appropriate location.

NOTE: The supplied speakers will be
configured as ZONE 1 in the
TouchTunes® software if you do not
have an existing sound system
connected, or ZONE 2 otherwise.

Connecting Speakers

Connect one end of a length of speaker
wire to the input terminals on one of
the speakers and take note which
sides of the wire are connected to the
(+) and (-) connectors. See Figure 6.

Connect the other end of the speaker
wire to the cabinet so the (+) and (-)
speaker connectors run to the red and
black connectors on the cabinet, re-
spectively. See Figure 6.

NOTE: To avoid short-outs, make sure
all strands of the exposed wire are prop-
erly connected to the speakers and
subwoofer.

Repeat steps 3-4 to connect the other
speaker.

Plug in and turn on the Remote Sound
System.
