Pairing the Wireless Rear Speakers

The wireless rear speakers are automatically paired with the system at the factory. When you first setup the system, the system will automatically locate the rear speakers. A successful connection is indicated by solid LEDs on both the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center and the wireless rear speakers.

Troubleshooting the Wireless Rear Speakers

If the wireless rear speakers lose their connection to the system, first use the Wireless LEDs to diagnose the problem (see below). To re-establish a link, first locate the pinhole for the connect button on the bottom of the Control Center. Using a paperclip, push the connect button through the pinhole. The system will start looking for the wireless rear speakers, as indicated by the flashing Link LEDs on the back of the Control Center. The system will continue looking for the rear speakers for 2 minutes.

During the 2 minutes that the system is searching for the rear speakers, open the sealing plug on the back of each rear satellite. Using a paperclip, push the connect button through the pinhole on the back of the rear speakers. The speakers will start searching for the system, as indicated by the flashing blue LEDs on the front of the speakers. Once the speakers link up with the system, all LEDs will change to a solid color.

Digital Connection

If your sound card has a digital output jack, you can use it to connect to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center. The control center supports either an optical or a coaxial connection. Check your sound card documentation for instructions on how to enable the sound card’s digital output.

Analog Connection

Use the 6-channel direct input cables to connect the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center to the analog jacks on your sound card. For optimal sound, connect only those cables necessary for your sound card and leave the other cables unattached at both ends:

•6-channel sound card: Connect the orange, black, and green plugs to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center and to the color-coded jacks on the sound card.

•4-channel sound card: Connect the green and black plugs to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center. Connect the green plug to the sound card’s front jack and the black plug to the sound card’s rear jack. Leave the orange plug unattached at both ends.

•2-channel sound card: Connect the green plug to the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center and to the “line out” jack on your sound card. Leave the orange and black plugs unattached at both ends.

System States

Your Z-5450 Digital speakers have two basic states: Standby (off), and Ready. There is also a main on/ off switch on the rear of the subwoofer (see the quick start guide).

•Standby (Off): The power to the front/center speakers is off, the rear wireless speakers are in standby mode, the LCD is blank, and the power LED is red. Use the standby button to turn the system on.

•Ready (On): The speakers are on and the power LED is blue. Pressing the standby button will put the system into standby (off) mode.
