NOTE:
– Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage (if you intend to install this product yourself, you must check for installations such as electrical wiring and plumbing that may be buried inside the wall). It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that the wall will safely support the total load of the unit and wall brackets.
– Additional tools (not included) are required for the installation.
– Do not overtighten screws.
– Keep this instruction manual for future reference.
– Use an electronic stud finder to check the wall type before drilling and mounting.

Your wall mount type will determine the size of the screw you use to secure the speaker to the wall mount. Refer to the table below and 3 on page 3. The table presumes use of the included wall mounting washer which is 9mm in depth.

1. If the tone is coming from your left surround speaker, choose < Left Surround >. 
2. If the tone is coming from your right surround speaker, choose < Right Surround >.
3. Select < I cannot hear a sound > if no tone is audible.

NOTE: The left and right rear surround speaker position is determined by your left and right side as you face the TV.

c. Optimise wireless connection
Select < Continue > to begin the connection optimisation process.

Using Dolby Atmos

To listen to Dolby Atmos audio through your AQUOS Wireless Surround system, you will need Dolby Atmos content delivered to your AWS SHARP TV and DAP (Dolby Audio Processing) set to ON in the TV sound menu.
Dolby Atmos content is available via some broadcast services, streaming services or via external devices connected by HDMI e.g. a Dolby Atmos compatible games console or Blu-ray player.
For more information on Dolby Atmos content availability visit dolby.com.
AQUOS Wireless Surround will also offer an enhanced audio experience for other audio source types such as Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM. With DAP enabled, Dolby Audio Processing will render even 2.0 channel audio and utilise the available speakers connected.
Due to the way multi-channel signals are processed, the output volume of normal 2.0 channel signals through the rear surround speakers may appear low. This is not an issue with the speakers, but a characteristic of the way in which Dolby processes the source signal.

NOTE: A Dolby Atmos signal cannot be transmitted via an optical or analogue connection e.g. AUX, from an external device.

Night mode

Night mode allows low volume listening by muting the TV speakers and only using the connected rear speakers. The stereo profile is swapped, so left and right channels will remain faithful to the media being played.

To activate night mode:

1. In the Wireless Speaker menu, turn < Wireless Speaker > to “On”.

2. Open the TV’s sound settings menu and select < DAP Settings >.

3. Open < Sound style > and select < Night mode >

Deactivate night mode by selecting another sound style.

NOTE:
– Night mode is only available with the Wireless Speakers set to “On”.
– If you have the CP-AWS0101 subwoofer, this will also be muted.

Firmware upgrade

Check if a firmware upgrade is available.

In the televisions Wireless Speaker menu, select < Firmware upgrade > to check if an update is available.
If the TV is connected to the internet, the speakers will perform an over-the- air update.

NOTE:
– If the update process begins, do not disconnect power to the TV or turn the TV into standby mode.
– Ensure your TV is connected to the internet during the update process.
