Step 3.
Connect the speaker wire to the push terminals on the receiver
module
and the terminals on the rear of your speakers, as shown in Figure
4. Please note that the speaker wire features a polarity indicator to
help distinguish its two conductors. Use this polarity indicator to
ensure that you are connecting the positive (+) terminal on one
speaker to the positive (+) terminal on the other, and the negative (–)
to the negative (–).

Step 4.
Plug the transmitter module and receiver module into the wall
outlets, using the correct power supplies and power cords. Make
sure the antennas
are extended upward.
Make sure the ID Code setting on the transmitter
is set to the
same setting as that on the receiver
. See the “ID Codes” section
for more information on ID codes. When connected properly, the LED
on the front of the receiver should be red when first plugged in. When
a button on the remote is pressed, the LED should flash green until
the transmitter and receiver “lock in.” It will then light in solid green.
This LED will light orange if the local input on the receiver is selected
(see the “Local Input” section for more details).
Adjusting the Volume
Depending on the type of connection and the specific source that
you are using, the volume setting on your receiver may affect the
sound output level of your WEM-1. To check whether the output from
your source is volume-dependent, turn the volume level on your
audio receiver to approximately half-way. Turn on your WEM-1
transmitter and receiver modules. Once the lower LED on the
receiver module lights in solid green, indicating that RF lock has
been achieved, verify that there is sound output from the speakers.
Then increase and decrease the volume control on your audio
receiver and observe whether this affects the sound output from
your speakers. If it does not, then the volume control on your source
unit can be set at any position that you may desire as it does not
affect the performance of the WEM-1. If changing the volume setting
on your source does affect the output from the WEM-1, then you will
need to always keep your source’s volume control at about half-way
up with audio receivers or A/V receivers. From this point on, you will
use the remote control included with the WEM-1 wireless speaker
system to adjust the volume
and .
When using the WEM-1 to power surround speakers in
a home theater system:
In this application, the output level of your WEM-1 will not only be
dependent on the volume setting of your A/V source; it will also need
to be properly adjusted after installation and before use in order to
be able to work correctly with the other speakers in your
multichannel surround system. To adjust the output level, turn you
A/V source on, set your A/V source’s volume control about a third of
the way up, and activate the speaker-level-adjustment test tone.
Make sure that the WEM-1 transmitter and receiver are on, both of
the speakers are connected, and there is RF lock (i.e., the LED on the
receiver is solid green). Using the remote control
and adjust
the volume level of WEM-1 until its output level is balanced with the
rest of the speakers in your surround system. From this point on, you
will not be using the WEM-1 remote control for volume settings. You
will be increasing and decreasing the output level for the entire
surround sound system using your A/V source’s volume control.
Please note that the WEM-1 will retain its volume setting when it is
in standby, so there is no need to set its volume level every time the
system is turned on.
Local Input
The JBL On Air WEM-1 receiver module also includes a local input
on the front of the receiver module. This input allows you to hook up
a portable audio player directly to the WEM-1 wherever you may
happen to be. For example, you could have the system connected to
your audio receiver listening to a local FM station and then hook up
your portable music player to the local input, switching between the
two different sources.
To connect a portable audio player to the receiver module, simply
connect the preamp-out, line-out or headphone jack to the line-in on
the front of the receiver module using a 3,5mm (1/8-inch) mini-jack –
3,5 mm (1/8-inch) mini-jack cable (not included).
To switch between the two sources, push the Input button
on the
remote control.
ID Code
In the unlikely event that you experience interference when
operating the system, or if you have more than one set of WEM-1
transmitters and receivers in operation, you may change the channel
in which the system operates. On both the transmitter and the the
receiver modules, there is a four-position “ID Code” selector
.
Simply set each of the selectors to one of the other positions. The
transmitter and receiver must be set to the same position in order for
the system to function correctly. You can also set up a maximum of
two receiver modules to be receiving from the same transmitter by
setting the channel selector on the transmitter and the receiver to
the same channel. Please note that the two receiver modules need
to be at least 3m (10 feet) apart, or reception and operating range in
one or both units may be degraded.
EQ Switch
The WEM-1 offers a choice of EQ positions for use with select JBL
speakers. This circuit optimizes the performance of the system
when connected to the loudspeakers indicated. If your specific
loudspeaker is not listed below, simply set the EQ Switch
to
position 1.
