Setting Up the Sources

What is a source?

A source is any audio storage device that can provide output. Sources include, but are not limited to, smartphones, iPods®, iPhones®, iPads®, A/V receivers, televisions, radios, computers and MP3 players. In order for a source to play through the MusicLites speakers, you will need a transmitter plugged into the device.

There are 3 transmitters (sources) available for MusicLites:

•Transmitter for iPod/iPhone/iPad

•USB Transmitter

•Universal Transmitter

Each transmitter can only be connected to one source at a time. The source is indicated by a mechanical switch on the side that shows which of three possible options, S1, S2 or S3 is selected (see FIGURE 6). Source 1 is the default. Transmitters are independent of the device being transmitted from. That means you can unplug the transmitter from that device and plug into another, as long as there is a way to connect. You can have up to 3 transmitters active at one time. If you have 3 transmitters connected to devices playing simultaneously, you can use the remote control, by zone, to toggle between sources S1, S2 and S3. If you are using multiple transmitters, it is important that you make sure that each is transmitting as a different source number- 1, 2 or 3. Two transmitters playing simultaneously on the same source number will not work.

How do the sources work?

Once you attach a transmitter to an audio device, the transmitter interprets the signal and transmits it wirelessly. If the transmitter is set as the first source (S1), all MLs set to pick up S1 will play from that transmitter as long as they are turned on and within range.

How long does it take the MLs to receive and process a command?

Depending on the configuration and number of MLs in your home, you may need to allow 3 - 6 seconds after pressing a S1, S2 or S3 to allow all MLs to receive and respond to that command.

How many sources can I have per zone?

Each zone can only play one source at a time. However, you can switch between the 3 sources (S1, S2, S3) in a house. Sources can take the form of any number of devices as they are independent from the transmitter. You do not have to buy separate transmitters for each device unless you want to play them all simultaneously in different zones.
