and Setup Things to Consider Before You Connect Protect Against Power Surges e Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet. e Turn off all components before you connect or disconnect any cables. Protect Components from Overheating Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. e Don't stack components. e When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation. e If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won't flow around other components. Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference e Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack. e If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV. Connection Pictures Audio cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video).

You may find that the system works better with one or more of the antennas in the horizontal (flat) position. The receiver and transmitter tend to operate better in high locations, where the signal path is wider and stronger (ona shelf, for example). Watch the receiver signal strength indicators for indication of signal strength. You may also need to experiment with the position of the remote control antenna on the transmitter unit. See what position works the best for the remote control. Lyra Wireless Receiver q /

4 Transmitter Table or high shelf zs = The Lyra Wireless system can transmit The Lyra Wireless transmitter and receiver through walls and floors (up to 100 ft). antennas can rotate to multiple positions. You may want to try several different angles for the best reception. Fine Tuning the Lyra Wireless To get the best signal reception, the Lyra Wireless units should face each other using an imaginary line of sight." You can place the transmitter and receiver in separate rooms, or even separate floors of your house, so you don't have to worry about the units being close to each other. Other barriers in your house may affect the signal, so you may need to adjust the positions of the transmitter and receiver somewhat. If the transmitter is sending the signal to the receiver properly, you should see some of the receiver's signal strength meter indicators light up. If there is no signal at all Make sure the CHANNEL switch on the back of both units is set to the same number ee Chapter 1 9 If the signal is weak or there is interference Try changing the channel on both units. Make sure the CHANNEL switch is set to the same channel on both units.
