Wireless Operation; Transmitter Operation - Paradigm PDR Serie Mode D'emploi

USING TWO SUBWOOFERS IN YOUR LISTENING ROOM
When using two subwoofers, placing one in the front of the room and the other
in the rear of the room (as shown in Fig. 2) usually provides the best bass
performance and sonic integration. Consult the fine tuning section of the Owner's
Manual for more information on adjusting phase settings. If those locations
are not possible or if you want to experiment with placement options using two
subwoofers, the following procedure will be a helpful guide to achieving better
bass performance. Refer to the section on 'Subwoofer Connection,' then
proceed as follows:
1. Temporarily turn all speakers off (either by turning your amplifier off or
disconnecting them);
2. Connect and place one subwoofer in the central area of your listening room.
Follow directions for connection, as outlined in the appropriate section;
NOTE: The preceding is only a guideline. You may want to use a bass test
disc and SPL meter to more accurately determine the bass characteristics of
your listening room (see Dealer for more information) . Remember that room

WIRELESS OPERATION

Subwoofer placement plays a major role in optimizing bass performance.
However, placement can impose the inconvenience, not to mention the
unsightliness, of running long lengths of cable through walls, along
baseboards and under floors and carpets. Going wireless means you no
longer have to worry about placement while cable clutter becomes a thing
of the past. Actual system setup time is often drastically reduced with the
wireless option.

Transmitter Operation

In a typical listening room your new wireless transmitter has a maximum
range of 50' (15 m). Obstructions such as walls, large pieces of furniture, room
dividers, etc., may reduce transmitter range. Do not place subwoofer and
transmitter farther apart than the recommended range. We do not recommend
installing your transmitter in another room. The transmitter's compact
dimensions allow it to fit neatly into a standard audio/video rack.
Your wireless transmitter features a 2.4 GHz uncompressed digital self-
sensing design that will automatically adjust for the best wireless
connection while monitoring the integrity of the data stream.
'PAIRING' YOUR WIRELESS SUBWOOFER WITH THE TRANSMITTER
1. Plug subwoofer into wall (not shown) and using the toggle switch on the
back panel, turn it on (ON or AUTO setting). Wait for the back-panel
'STATUS' LED to flash Red slowly.
2. Plug transmitter into wall, the LED will also flash Red slowly.
3. Press and hold 'Pair' button on transmitter for 3 to 5 seconds until the
transmitter's front-panel LED begins to flash Red quickly. Release button.
4. Press and release 'Pair' button on back panel of subwoofer.

3. At a moderately loud level, play music or a video soundtrack with extended
bass that is repetitive or continuous;
4. Walk around your room and note where the bass sounds louder and where
it sounds quieter;
5. Place the first subwoofer within a louder bass area of your room; then
place the second subwoofer within a quieter bass area of your room;
6. Connect both subwoofers and switch all speakers back on; switch the
amplifier on, or reconnect it;
7. Follow the 'Fine Tuning' instructions later in this manual, to optimize your
system's overall bass performance.
acoustics vary so it may take some experimenting with placement to achieve
the best subwoofer performance.
An RCA audio cable is required (not included) to connect the transmitter to
your A/V receiver or preamplifier. (See Dealer for cable recommendations.)
One transmitter is required for each wireless subwoofer in operation.
WARNING: To prevent signal dropouts or interference, keep the
transmitter well out of range of a microwave oven, mobile telephone
or Bluetooth device operating on the same frequency.
IMPORTANT! The transmitter that is included with your wireless-ready
Paradigm PDR subwoofer is not compatible with any other subwoofer brand.
Before connecting your new subwoofer, you must establish a permanent
connection between the transmitter and subwoofer by 'pairing' the two.
See below for more details ...
Permanent connection has been established when LEDs on both
transmitter and subwoofer glow solid Red. Typically, the pairing process is
permanent.
If for some reason you do have to 'pair' transmitter and subwoofer again,
simply follow this 4-step process.
