Knowing your equipment

Front Panel

1. MICRO SD: Micro SD memory card input. (The card must be positioned as the image shows, with the terminals facing up

2.   USB: Input to Flash Drive.

3. Aux. (Connector P2): Receives audio signal from the P2 output of your phone, tablet, MP3, computer, among others. Use good quality cable to avoid unwanted noise.

4.   Short Touch (Track-): Rewind the music tracks in the USB/SD/BLUETOOTH.
   Long Touch (Volume -): Reduce the volume in all sources options.
   FM: Short Touch: Reduce 0.1MHz of the frequency.
   Long: Automatic search to previous stations.

5. Short Touch (Play / Pause): Pause or start the music to USB / SD / BLUETOOTH.
   Short Touch: Mute to AUXILIARY option
   FM: Short Touch: Advances next saved memory position of FM stations.
   Long: Searches for FM stations and saves them in memory.

6. Short Touch: (Track+): Forward the music tracks in the USB/SD/ BLUETOOTH.
   Long Touch:(Volume +): Increase the volume in all sources options
   FM: Short Touch: Increase 0.1MHz of the frequency. Long: Automatic search to next stations.

7. Short Touch (MODE) : Changes the source options, such as: USB / SD / AUXILIAR / BLUETOOTH / FM.
   Long Touch – To turn off the device. (The device will stay in stand by mode)

8. LED Display – Remote control IR sensor : For better communication between the remote control and the device, point the control at this point on the display.
   Front Panel (sequence)

9. AUX1 / OPTICAL or AUX 2 KEY : Button pressed: Selects AUX1 and Optical inputs.
   Button not pressed: Selects the AUX 2 input. (Inputs on the rear panel).

10. ATT: LED audio attenuation indicator. When identifying an audio signal from the microphone input or emitting the ding-dong signal (GONGO), the equipment attenuates the output signal, allowing higher evidence of the microphone. After 2 seconds without using the microphone, it returns to the state without attenuation.
    It is possible to enable or disable this function. With the device in standby mode, press and hold the gong key for 5 seconds. The ATT LED will flash 3x with the function enabled or 1x with the function disabled.

11. MASTER: Controls the global volume level and must be used to adjust the output power desirable.

12. MIC: P10 input for microphone.
    Microphone Recommendations:
    – The microphone signal has a low amplitude, so improper use can cause unwanted noise.
    – Use quality cables and connectors.
    – Do not wrap the microphone cables.
    – Do not pass the microphone in front of the loudspeakers. This causes feedback.

13. MIC: Adjusting the volume of the microphone and the GONGO (ding-dong). If you do not use the microphone and GONGO, it is recommended to keep the volume to a minimum.

14. GONGO: GONGO activation key.
    The product has 3 GONGO options. To select another option with the device on, press and hold the “GONGO” key. The 3 gong patterns will be emitted in sequence (do not release the key). To select an option, release the “GONGO” key after hearing the  desired option.

15. EQUALIZATION: Ways equalization adjustment
    LOW: Bass frequencies
    MID: Middle frequencies
    HIGH: High frequencies.

16. VOL CH L / VOL CH R: Adjust each channel level (L ou R).

17. LED STAND BY : On, indicates that the product is plugged into the outlet in stand by mode

18. TECLA ON/STB : Turn ON the receiver or stay in standby mode.

Mix Mode

To enable the Mix Mode, slide the switch key under the device to the ON position. For this use a small screwdriver and keep the power cord unplugged.
In mixed mode the 2 outputs have the same sound, (no longer being stereo L and R) allowing, for example, the distribution of the sound over 2 different rooms without channel loss.

Protection System

The THS 4600 has a protection system against outputs overload and outputs short circuit.
When the protections are activated, the STAND BY LED on the front panel turns on temporarily and the audio output is interrupted. About 2 seconds, or the audio is restored.
If the protection system or system meets frequently, review the settings and installation of your system. Knowing your equipment
Rear Panel

1. POWER CABLE: Plugged it into a powered outlet. . This product operates from 127V AC to220V AC.

2. SPEAKER OUT: To connect the loudspeakers. Follow the indicated polarity and the recommended minimum impedance of 4 ohms for each channel.

3. OUT: LINE OUT: The LINE OUT output allows to send the audio signal (not amplified) to other equipment, such as another THS 4600, an amplifier or active subwoofer.
   The LINE OUT sound is affected by the 3 Band Equalizer and Volume controls. (LOW, MID, HIGH and VOLUME controllers).

4. INPUT AUX 1, OPTICAL e AUX 2: Audio inputs.
   Use the frontal key to select.
   Using the Optical function, you can count on the AUTO TURN ON system.
   With this option enabled, the device is automatically turned on when it recognizes the audio on the optical input.
   It is possible to enable or disable this function. To do this, press and hold the ON / STB key for 5 seconds. The stand by LED will flash 3x for the enabled function and 2x for the disabled function. (It is enabled by default).
   Check the page 18 (Example of use OPTICAL input).
   Note: The OPTICAL input is shared with the AUX 1 input, which means that is not possible to use both simultaneously. In the case of televisions, audio configuration for standard
   OPTICAL PCM output may be required, configured in the menu of the TV itself. (Check your TV manufacturer’s manual).

5. FM ANTENNA: Indoor wire antenna for FM radio reception. Position the wire antenna in  order to achieve the best FM reception.

Bluetooth examples of use

Some TVs have an audio output system via Bluetooh. If your TV has this feature, it’s possible to transmit the audio to the THS 4600.
Consult your TV manufacturer’s manual.
Example of using OPTIC input
Select the AUX mode on the ‘MODE’ key and also press and hold the AUX 1 OPTICAL key.
When using the AUTO TURN ON (BY OPTICAL) function, keep the AUX mode selected. (Check page 15, item 4).

Example of using RCA input (AUX 2)
Select the AUX mode on the ‘‘MODE’’ key and the AUX 2 key not pressed.

Connection examples – Wall sconces

Examples to until 16 loudspeakers 8 ohms eachFor this kind of connection use cables with a minimum gauge of 1.5mm² for up to 40 meters. For long distances, consult the table on page 12 ‘‘ Important recommendations ’’. It’s necessary to make connections in parallel and series as shown in the example, to match impedance.
