number.
If your wireless broadcast to other KlipschCast c omponent (other than the
subwoofer) is interrupted for long periods of time or has static :
You may have moved the KlipschCast component beyond its extended
range. Try locating it closer to the CS-700 system.
Check to make sure you have the proper source selected.
The CS-700 system can only decode one digital multi channel signal at
a time. You cannot decode one digital signal for local viewing/liste ning
and a second for wireless transmission. Wireless transmission o ccurs
in two-channel mode therefore it is recommended that you change t he
audio output of the source you wish to transmit to analog ( R/L) stereo.
This will allow you to use the decoder in the CS-700 for the locally
viewed/heard source and wirelessly distrib ute the second signal to all
KlipschCast listeners.
