Adjust the transmitter as needed. 9 SETTING THE SPEAKERS MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING Setting the Speakers for Stereo/Monaural Operation For stereo operation, set the Left/Mono/Right Switch (D) to "Left" on one speaker and "Right" for the other speaker. For monaural operation at each speaker, set the Left/Mono/Right Switch (D) to "Mono" on each speaker. About Fixed-Level Outputs A fixed-level, or line-level audio output is considered ideal since it provides an audio signal unchanged by adjustments to the audio source’s (stereo, etc.) volume control. The following troubleshooting guide outlines possible problems and solutions associated with the installation/operation of a wireless system. If problems persist, please call 1-800-732-6866 and a knowledgeable consumer service representative will assist you. Hint: Fixed-level audio outputs from stereo receivers/amps will typically be designated as Tape, Tape 1, and Tape 2 outputs, DAT (digital audio tape) outputs, VCR audio output connections, and auxiliary audio outputs. Tape, Tape 1, Tape 2 and DAT outputs are usually marked as ‘TAPE OUTPUT,’ TAPE OUT,’ TAPE REC,’ or ‘TAPE RECORD’ Jacks. Problem Solution No Sound • Check that the outlet the transmitter is plugged into is providing power. • Check that the AC Adapter is fully inserted into the wall outlet, and that the power cord from the AC adapter is firmly connected to the Power Input Jack on the transmitter. Note: Many PC soundcards have a "Line Out" that is a fixed-level output. The fixed-level output of the soundcard may not be strong enough for optimal signal strength. Please refer to ABOUT VARIABLE-LEVEL OUTPUTS. Left/Mono/Right Switch (D) TUNING CONTROL L M R DC 7.5V Note: If you use one speaker at one location and the other speaker at another location (i.e., two different rooms), JENSEN® recommends the "Mono" setting for best sound reproduction. MORE FINE-TUNING If, after fine-tuning, interference in the form of static and/or "drop-outs" can be heard, adjust Channel Select Switch (K) to the other channel and re-tune the speakers. If you are unable to achieve clear sound, please refer to TROUBLESHOOTING on page 12. • If using batteries: Check that the batteries are firmly seated following polarity as shown in the battery compartment. About Variable-Level Outputs A variable-level output, such as a headphone jack or certain television RCA-type outputs, provides an audio signal to the transmitter that changes in relation to volume adjustments on the audio source. As the volume of the audio source goes up and down, so does the strength of the audio signal sent to the transmitter. This can affect the quality of sound you hear from the speakers. A weak signal may require increasing the volume level of the audio source to achieve a strong enough audio signal for use with the JW250 system. A strong signal may require decreasing the audio source’s volume. • If using the AC adapters: Check that the outlet the speakers are plugged into is providing power. • Check that the AC Adapters are fully inserted into the wall outlet and that the power cords from the AC adapters are firmly connected to the Power Input Jack on the speakers. • Check that the audio source is turned on and providing sound as it normally would. 10 11 TROUBLESHOOTING CONT'D • Check that the home stereo volume is turned up. • If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/amp as the audio output, check that the Tape 2 Monitor button is selected on the front of the receiver. This will turn on the Tape 2 outputs. Problem • Check that the Speakers are turned "ON." 12 TROUBLESHOOTING CONT'D SPECIFICATIONS & FEATURES If you are using a variable output, make sure the Output Level Control is all the way left (as shown under ADJUST THE TRANSMITTER), and adjust the volume on the audio source up or down as necessary to make the light flicker intermittently. Transmitter Omnidirectional Effective transmitting range: Up to 150 feet (45.7m)* Channelized Frequencies at 913.5 MHz and 914.5 MHz 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Mini plug Input UL Listed AC Adapter – 12V DC, 100 mA • Change the position of the transmitter’s Channel Select Switch to change operating frequency. Then readjust the speaker’s Tuning Control until the Tuning Indicator Light turns green. Solution • Try changing the physical location of the transmitter. Locate as high and free of obstruction as possible. Avoid placing directly on top of a PC (or other electronic equipment). No Sound/ • Check that the receiver Tuning Indicator is Distortion/ illuminated. If not, check the power supply or Static batteries. If so, adjust the Tuning Control until the green indicator light comes on. • Try changing the antenna position, particularly if you think you may be near maximum transmitting range. • Check the batteries – they may be weakening. • Confirm the batteries are "good." When batteries begin to weaken there can be static breakup. If necessary, replace the batteries. • Try moving the transmitter and speakers closer together. Sending the signal through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal can decrease the effective transmitting distance of the system. • Check that the antenna is in the upright position. • Check that the transmitter Audio Level Indicator is flickering intermittently. If using a fixed output and the light is on solid, flickering very rapidly, or if the light is not on at all, adjust the Input Level Control so the light flickers intermittently. 13 Sound From One Speaker Only • Check left/right balance control on your audio source. Make sure that it is centered between the left and right speakers.
