WIRE CONNECTION (LAN) TO THE ETHERNET NETWORK
The wired Ethernet connection guarantees an optimum and constant transfer rate in any environment. Use this if Wi-Fi mode operation shows untimely cuts or stops of music, signs of a saturated Wi-Fi network, or too much router-to- stream distance.
Connect an RJ45 cable between the speaker and your router (or Box Internet).
The connection is established when the STATUS diode changes to solid blue. The WIFI connection is then automatically disabled.
CAUTION: DHCP mode of the router must be enabled.

USE / SYNCHRONIZE WITH A TV SET

TV MODE

1. Please connect the primary speaker to the TV with the TV cable, please connect the primary speaker to the secondary speaker with the optical cable.
2. If you find latency between the picture and sound of your speakers, please try the time delay or audio synchronization feature of your TV set if available.
3. If the TV icon does not appear on the primary speaker display, the TV connection is not found. Check your connections or replace the TV cable.
4. With this connection, you can control the volume of your system via your TV remote control.

ADJUSTING THE LATENCY OF YOUR SPEAKERS
Choose the coaxial SPDIF solution.
There are 3 modes that will allow you to adapt the latency of your audio system to your needs:

• HIFI: this mode is the default setting of your speaker, the audio stream is redistributed by a primary speaker to secondary speakers. The latency is then more than 1 second to ensure the time necessary for the flow to pass through the network and be redistributed to the other speakers with perfect stereo synchronization
• TV/DIRECT: This mode does not use the network. The sound is broadcast directly from the audio input to each speaker. Therefore, the sound must be distributed to each device in the zone and all must have the same configuration. An additional optical switch is required for an optical connection and this mode must be configured in the settings of each speaker.
• Low latency: This mode is based on the streaming of one master speaker to the others. The latency is less than 1 second, the stability of this setting will depend on the quality of the network and the bandwidth. If one of your speakers cuts out, it is generally due to a lack of buffering data, a wired Ethernet connection is preferable to a wireless connection.

If this setting remains unstable, we advise you to configure the direct TV mode so as not to depend on your network.

DEACTIVATION OF THE SPEAKERS OF THE TELEVISION
Turn on the TV, open the TV menu, and look for a tab such as Audio, Sound or Speakers. Use the menu function to switch off the TV speakers. This menu item may for example be labeled «Speaker On / Off» for speakers on / off. If this function does not exist, bring the TV sound volume with the TV remote control to the minimum level.

ACTIVATION OF THE OPTICAL OUTPUT OF THE TELEVISION
If there is no sound with an optical connection, set the chosen optical output in the TV menu if necessary.

PLAYBACK WITH TV INPUT
The RIALTOs are compatible with the HDMI eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) output of your TV for integrated control via an HDMI version 2.1 cable. The speakers must always be connected to your local network first before the HDMI connection. The speakers also support ARC and HDMI CEC. HDMI CEC allows you to use the TV remote control to adjust the volume of the speakers.

CONNECTING THE HDMI CABLE
Connect the HDMI output port on your TV to the TV port on the back panel of the primary speaker using an HDMI cable.
In your TV settings, enable eARC, ARC or CEC in the HDMI settings. Refer to your TV’s user manual for details, as HDMI connections may have different names by manufacturer (e.g. Anynet+ for Samsung, Simplink for LG). Also make sure that the TV’s digital audio output setting is PCM or stereo (not Dolby, Bitstream, Auto etc.).

PLAYBACK WITH OPTICAL INPUT
You can connect your devices with optical output (e.g. TVs and game consoles) to the speakers using an optical cable. The speakers must always be connected to your local network first before the optical connection.

CONNECTING THE OPTICAL CABLE
Connect the optical output of your device and the optical input on the rear panel of the primary speaker via an optical cable. Make sure your TV is set to PCM or stereo digital audio output. Refer to your TV’s user manual for details.

PORT LINK
The link port allows for a reduced latency between your two speakers, if you notice a latency between the picture and the sound, it is possible to go into the settings of your TV, if that is not enough you can connect your two speakers via the link port.
