Klipsch ROOMGROOVE Transmitting Audio from the RoomGroove, Sources and Colors of the Listen Light

Transmitting Audio from the RoomGroove

The RoomGroove is designed to allow you to transmit the iPod or the auxiliary source so that it can be received and played by other KlipschCast components. To transmit from the RoomGroove, simply select the source you wish to transmit by pressing the “Listen” button, or the desired source on the remote (iPod or Aux), and then press the “Transmit” button. The selected source is now being transmitted throughout your home and is available to other KlipschCast-enabled products.

Note: If a RoomGroove is transmitting and a second Room- Groove is told to transmit, the second RoomGroove will bump the first RoomGroove and occupy that wireless channel. If you wish to configure your wireless multi-room system to allow two RoomGrooves to simultaneously transmit, see the “Transmitting Audio from Two RoomGrooves” section of this manual.

Listening to Other KlipschCast Devices with Your RoomGroove

The RoomGroove is designed to allow you to listen to sources connected to, or integrated into, other KlipschCast components such as another RoomGroove or the CS-700 DVD Entertainment System.

To listen to a source being transmitted by another KlipschCast device, simply press the “Listen” button to access the transmitted source. The “Listen” light becomes red (or purple for a second wireless source) when a wireless source is received and played. A flashing color indicates no source is available on that channel.

Sources and Colors of the “Listen” Light

Blue always indicates a local source. Red and purple indicate wireless channels. If the color is flashing, the source or wireless channel is not available.

For systems transmitting from a CS-700 system and RoomGroove

Local source (iPod or Aux) = blue

Transmitted Cinema System source = red

Transmitted RoomGroove source = purple

For systems transmitting from two RoomGrooves

Local source (iPod or Aux) = blue

1st Transmitted RoomGroove source = red

2nd Transmitted RoomGroove source = purple

Transmitting Audio from the CS-700

Transmitting Audio from Two RoomGrooves

In systems not incorporating a CS-700 system (or if the cinema system in not intended to be part of the wireless multi-room system), two RoomGrooves can transmit simultaneously. To enable this feature, all components of the wireless multi-room system must be assigned to a home code from 5 to 9. Selecting a home code from 5 to 9 will allow a second RoomGroove to occupy the wireless channel which was previously assigned to the CS-700. (See “Setting the Home Code” for more detailed information.)

If two RoomGrooves are transmitting and you wish to transmit from a third and control which wireless channel will be used for the new transmission, you must first select the broadcast you wish to terminate by pressing the “Listen” button until that source is heard. Then press transmit and the new source will occupy that wireless channel and stop the transmission of the other source. You should now hear the new source in all the locations in which the previous source was playing. The new source should now be available to all active listeners.

Note: All devices in the wireless multi-room system must be set to the same home code in order for transmissions to take place.

Setting the Home Code

The home code dial on the rear of your RoomGroove allows you to select a code specific to all of your KlipschCast components to avoid interference from neighboring systems. The home code numbers range from 0 to 9 with 0 set as the default. All of your KlipschCast components will initially be set to 0 and allow one wireless channel to broadcast audio from a cinema system and the second wireless channel to broadcast wireless audio from a RoomGroove. The home code number should only be changed for one of two reasons:

1)There is interference from a neighboring system – If a neighboring system in interfering with your wireless system, simply change all KlipschCast components to another home code. KlipschCast components will only transmit and receive audio from components on the same home code. Home codes 0 through 4 can be used for systems transmitting audio from a cinema system and a RoomGroove (home codes 5 through 9 are reserved for systems transmitting from two separate RoomGrooves and no cinema system).

2)You wish to transmit audio from two RoomGrooves (not a cinema system) – If you wish to transmit audio from two separate RoomGrooves and not a cinema system, simply choose a home code from 5 to 9 and change all KlipschCast components to that home code. KlipschCast components will only transmit and receive audio from components on the same home code.

Once the home code has been changed, you must disconnect and reconnect the power cord from the wall outlet for the change to be made. This will change the home code and allow the component to talk to other KlipschCast components set to the same home code.

In a multi-room system incorporating a CS-700 cinema system
(sold separately), the RoomGroove remote can be used to directly
select sources from the CS-700 once the CS-700 has been
selected by the RoomGroove’s “Listen” button. The CS-700
will default to transmit its local source (the source selected for
listening/viewing on the CS-700 system) until another source is
selected. See the “Remote Control” section of this manual for	3	Note: All devices in the wireless multi-room system must be set
